Changing up the diet…
After a loooong hard look at the diet I have been struggling with for sometime.. I do well for a while then when I don’t plan I do horrible! In my head I justified it like it all balanced out (wrong!) - I believe its been holding me back from some overdue progress.
My daughter left last Fri for a month to travel with my parents so I am flying solo for a month.. a whole month! I decided what better time will there be then now to get serious with this???
So..after Katie (bodyspace member) mentioning she was doing a 40carb/40protein/20fat ratio I was curious.. I did some research on here and read a great article by Hugo Rivera about leaning out in 8 weeks using these principals. I’ve decided I have no reason not to try it out.. I am gonna run with this one guys… It has this auto calc thing that spits out the # of calories you need in a day based off your current weight and then it calculates how many carbs/protein/fat grams you need daily..then you divide it out into 5-6 meals per day depending upon what you eat. It also states on Sundays you increase your carbs from startchy sources by 500cals- this is to trick your body.
According to all these fun calculations: I need 1,905 cals per day: I need to consume 191g carbs per day: I need to consume 191g protein per day: & I need to consume 42g fat per day.
As I mentioned earlier I always fail when I dont plan out the meals.. I hit this starving point and just need to eat now! So I am trying to come up with some meal ideas.. if any of you are on the 40.40.20 plan could you share some of your meals with me??? I would really appriciate it!
