I have been eating the "no white flour, no white sugar and little starch" diet for almost a month now. I have also been eating many other foods much closer to the way God made them (my version of God's Diet Plan) during this time. I've been eating a greater variety of fruit than usual, lots more veggies, and almost nothing fried. Also eliminated has been almost all soda, all but three pieces of bread in over as many weeks, and desert in general. I think I have had three cookies, two small peppermint patties and maybe four or five hard candies in a month-which is huge for me as I had developed quite the sweet tooth.
To top it off, I have been traveling for the past week for work and either eating out or having to make sandwiches for lunch. That could have been a landmine-loaf of bread, chips to munch on with it and sweet or very salty snacks. Instead I have used Romaine lettuce leaves as "bread" and too be honest like the "sandwiches" a lot like that! Another change has been when we go out for supper-no eating half a loaf of bread or my own basket of chips, plus a big supper and either lots of Coke or the occasional beer. As I have posted about in the past, these meals would result in feeling bloated by the third or fourth day on the road. Portion control helped, but changing what was eaten has had an even bigger impact.
So let's recap:
Smaller, frequent meals
Food close to how God made it, include lots of raw fruit
Protein and good fats like almonds and other nuts
Water
NO ADDED SUGAR
NO WHITE SUGAR
NO WHITE FLOUR
No added salt
Overall very happy with how I feel physically, and oh by the way, I've dropped at least ten pounds without even trying!
