Body Project

OK, i don’t diet, I tell people this and they say look at what you eat, that is a diet.  Nope.  I eat a certain way, and that includes for the most part, healthy foods that are nutrient dense, and good for me.  I like how i feel when I eat this way.  I personally do not eat many carbs.  i have found I don’t need a ton of carbs, and don’t really crave them.  If I get a craving, let’s say like i did this past week, I indulge it.  I had a french dip with double meat, and double cheese, large fries, 10 hot wings, and a large sweet tea.  It looked and smelled so good.  I made it half way and felt sick.  I stopped eating.  Why do this.  I indulge my cravings to remind myself why I eat boring ass cottage cheese, wheat germ, mueslix, oatmeal, chicken, spinach and foods like that.  I felt like junk after that lunch.  But when i eat my normal foods, i feel great all day.  So much of all of this is making a choice, a mental decision.  The body needs fuel.  The more i read about food timing and what the food does once in the body, the easier it mkaes these choices.

There are a ton of healthy foods that can be precooked and taken along to work, or school, or where ever you go.  Once you get use to having plenty of tupperware in the fridge with good foods, and learn how much is a portion without weighing, it is easy.  i still use a food scale and measuring cups all the time.  But for a lot of things, i can eyeball it now.  No reason to re invent the wheel, just make some choices, and start doing it.  Read my previous blog for somemore food ideas.  Also check out thenaturalone’s blog.  Good info there also.
