Ok, so I am not very good at posting what I eat everyday. I do eat the same things in the same proportions. We spice it up from time to time (like our recent turkey muffin find) but then we just add that to our regimen. So, now for the fun part...
As we get closer to our Miami trip, John and I have started on a "Keto" Diet. This is basically a very similar version to the induction phase of Atkins: high protein, high (good) fat diet. After 2-3 days of eating zero carbs, your body goes into Ketosis. That is where it starts to use fat for energy instead of carbs. This results in quick, true fat loss.
Now, there are a few things I must say about this. 1) I would not choose to do this for longer than 2 weeks. It is hard on the kidneys (I up my water consumption considerably). 2) It doesn't support athletic performance, endurance, or over-all health.
If anyone is interested in doing this diet, please contact me for more info first. I would want you to make sure you totally understand it. It is extremely scientific (but simple)...so, absolutely NO cheating! Once you are in ketosis, you want to stay there. 1 beer or fruit or small sweet treat can knock you out. Then, you have to start over and work to get back to that state.
This is what we eat:
Eggs
Salmon
Chicken
Almonds/Almond Butter (limit 2 servings/day)
Whey Protein
Steak
We also take 2000mg Omega-3 and 1300mg of Primrose. Along w/ our usual Multi-Vitamin and Probiotic.
Oh, and I have been using Jack3d. It is a pre-work out booster. I really like it!
We will continue to eat like this until next Wednesday. That will be the 10 day mark. Then, we will eat and drink like fools while in Miami. We will still get a couple good work-outs in, but I totally anticipate bringing home a few pounds as a souvenir. But, we will be back on track w/ our regular, healthy "diet" when we return.
