Today is the Day I say goodbye to…
Today is the 1st of January. I spent New Year’s over at my friend Camille’s place, where Camille, Max and her Mom served me tons of really great food, which includes dark chocolates, almonds, chicken breast and all sorts of Filipino food. Tonight, as I was just getting sleepy and lethargic, I ate at least 5 pieces of Purdy’s chocolates from David’s box. I thought, after those 5 little devils, I’m done with refined sugar among other things this 2009.
2009 is the year I’m saying goodbye to the following food and food groups:
(1) Red Meat: Pork, Beef, Lamb, Duck. I’m quitting red meat this year and I’m quitting chicken by 2010. Then my goal is to be pesco-vegetarian by 2011.
(2) Refined Sugar: Everything that has artificial sweetener in it is not good for my blood. I experimented on chocolates today and I experience an energy crash exactly 2 hours after eating them. So, audieu to everything sugary and useless calories.
(3) MOST Dairy Products: I discovered this term that I am lactose intolerant. I cannot digest cheese, milk and anything made of dairy well. So I’m kicking dairy out of my diet. I will rely on hemp, soy, almonds and other nuts. I will try to eat only two things: (1) cottage cheese and (2) whey protein (for bodybuilding purposes)
(4) Processed junk foods: including chips, soda, and all forms of snacks made of empty calories.
I will actively search for the best available workout for me. Meanwhile, I can still taste the mint in my last bite of Purdy’s chocs. But, I WILL BE MAN ENOUGH to face the consequences of controlling everything that gets into my system — no matter how tempting they are.
Now, those are only three food groups. I WILL NOT LET PEOPLE COERCE me to eat anything of these foods above.
