I lost quite a bit of weight eating the way i eat. But, i’ve plateued for a bout a month now. I’m okay with that. I wanted to see if it would work itself out, but it doesnt seem like it is.
I’ve also realised i’ve been really lazy about making sure i’m getting all my veggies in and getting an assortment of fruit.
I’m way too lazy to log my intake every day. I’ll still do it sometimes though! :D
Basically how i eat:
I eat when i’m hungry
I stop when i’m full
I don’t buy overly processed foods
Meats, veggies, fruits, nuts, beans, and sometimes dairy are what i nom on
I am a firm believer in protein
Any time i eat carbs, it’s always accompanied by proteins
Why i eat this way:
I live on a budget, and processed foods are expensive
I used to eat based on calories, but i was always so hungry. Most of those meals are mostly carbs it seems. I went straight to low carb, and felt like crap. So, now i eat mostly fresh things and as much as i want of them as long as my proteins, carbs, and fats are evenly distributed. It’s a blood sugar/insulin thing. :)
I don’t count carbs or fats or proteins or calories because i’m way too lazy.
I eat a lot more in the mornings. I found that when i eat a big ol breakfast, im full longer. Plus, who doesn’t love a huge breakfast?! Before i started eating like this, i would eat according to calories and meal plans perfectly all day but then devour the world at night.
I drink a lot of water. My landlord pays my water bill. So, it’s free for me to turn it to pee.
Any questions about my noms (budget, recipes, favorites, etc.)? Just ask.
Want to know about my weight loss (how much, how long it has taken, etc.)? Just ask. I’ll respond privately.
I don’t usually eat anything fancy schmancy. I also usually cook for the whole week ahead of time. So, there will be a lot of repeat. However, i want to use this as a tool not only to keep me accountable, but also to keep track of what i eat.
