New diet. :D

Dec 10, 2004 20:13

Sooooo, I had dinner with my step-dad tonight. Seriously, he's the coolest step-dad ever. So anyways, we got together to talk about me starting to eat healthier, and we worked out what kind of exercises I should be doing to get the kinds of results I want. After our talk, it all seems like it's so possible. When I used to think about this kind ( Read more... )

25 bucks says you can't go a month with no soda, refined sugar, processed or fast food.

Protein shakes for breakfast. I'll be adding other stuff in, like yogurt (the good kind), granola, bananas, peanut butter, apple juice, that kind of stuff. Whatever I feel like having.

I'm gonna be taking multi-vitamins from food sources. I'm going to be eating white meats, like chicken and turkey. Stir frys, fresh vegetables, juices, water, brown rice, fruits, wheat bread, mustard (for chicken breast sandwiches), whole grain pasta.

There's probably more that I can't remember, but I'm going shopping this Sunday, so that's when it starts. Anything else you'd recommend?

The only reason you should have a protein shake in the morning is because your body's been fasting overnight, so you want to get nutrients in there pronto. So have some whey protein with WATER (having it with milk will slow down absorption due to the fat in milk). However, since whey is absorbed so fast, you will need nutrients again to keep your body in a positive nitrogen balance (negative = catabolism = muscle loss). So follow it up about a half hour later with a solid meal, like oatmeal and chicken, or something. Other than that, the only time you should be having protein shakes is before and after workouts. At all other times, eat concrete meals, since they are absorbed slowly and provide fuel for your body over a long period of time ( ... )

So are you doing this because you believe that you're fat??

Cuz if that's the reason come over here right now so I can hit you.

Haha, I don't think I'm fat. But I could trim down a little, and I don't want to get fat, and if I don't change my lifestyle a bit, that's where I'm headed.

But I'll come over so you can hit me anyways. Maybe after work.
