  • McDougalling it

    currently followinng the mcdougall diet.i've been watching his lectures on youtube for years now.i'm not gonna be as strict but here is the sum of it all:

    • A diet of plant foods, including whole grains and whole grain products (such as pasta, tortillas, and whole-grain bread), a wide assortment of vegetables, and fruit
    • Plenty of spices and usually small amounts of sugar and salt to enhance the flavor of food
    • Exercise as simple as a daily walk
    • The exclusion of animal foods, including red meat, poultry, dairy products, eggs, and fish – all of which provide toxic levels of fat, cholesterol, protein and, very often, infectious agents and harmful chemicals
    • The exclusion of ALL oils, including olive oil, safflower oil and corn oil. Oils, which are nothing more than liquid fat, increase body fat stores (obesity), depress immune function, and contribute to most common chronic diseases

    Here is one of his lectures if anyone is interested http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XVf36nwraw

  • Transitioning...

    i was craving fruit this morning but i stuck with the plan and had my cooked meal for the day.it was good but i wasnt as satisfied as i have been for the past few days when i was on the raw challenge

    Breakfast: a carrot,a zuchini and 1/2 cup of chickpeas cooked in water with tarregon and a no sodium bouillon cube (i wanted to try the buillon cause i was very interested when i saw that it had 0g of sodium but the taste was so blad that i ended up having to add some salt (still wasnt enough) which totally defeats the purpose honestly.)

    Lunch (finally indulged in some fruit): banana,5 strawberries,5 clementines,a kiwi and a granny smith apple.this meal was really good.

    it's my cousin's wedding tonight but i'm having dinner before we go cause i dont  want to end up pigging out on crap.i might have some salad or fruit though because it might seem rude if i dont have anything.we'll see what happens.

    snack at home: banana

    didnt have time to have dinner before we went :(

    Wedding:

    Dinner: two pieces of brocolli with sauce-2pieces of sushi-2 asparagus spears with some sauce-beets with some sauce-2 pieces of ravioli with marinara sauce-grilled kebbah

    Desser:4 inch mini cheesecake with caramel and nuts-fruit and berry salad-papaya-white chocolate covered strawberry-5 (i think) chocolates-some seasoned almonds and cashews

    have a nice day everyone
