Im surprised day 3 is here and I don't feel out of control desires to cheat. I did begin with a fast, but I've begun all of my diets that way for added strength. I think part of the difference this time, is a determination to prove I am in charge of myself. But also the snacking. Dr. Furhman talks about having fresh fruit and veggies and homemade dips and nuts and home made trail mix out all the time for snacking. He says you should never worry that your kid snacks throughout the day and doesn't eat as much at meal time with this lifestyle, because the bulkier whole foods fill your stomach much quicker than grease oil and sugar, so you are hungry sooner and more frequently. Also the" snacks " are carrots, celery, broccoli, oranges, strawberry, melons,raw cashews, raisins, raw sunflower seeds, they are packed with vitamins and other micronutrients.
I can't explain it, but before where I spent the day pining after icecream or candybars or even bread and butter, now, I feel satisfied, and my house only has good things in it. There is nothing to cheat with, and sure I could go to the store but I just force myself to snack on fresh fruits and veggies all day. Dr. Fuhrman says carbs should be our main source of calories not fat and sugar and protein, that carbs only get a bad wrap because the refined overprocessed carbs are so bad for you and for your bloodsugar and especially for your wieght. So I don't feel restrained from eating whole grain toast or whole wheat pitas. Now I can't slather my toast with butter anymore, but his dips are yummy and satisfying. I can spread some avocado spread on my toast or some hummus which I love.
Its hard to see advertisements or other yummy foods at the store. But I have to turn away my thoughts immediately from it like I would accidentally stumbling on nudity or something else. I have to master my thoughts. I can't dwell on that food for even a second.....I have to turn and grab some cachew or even some olives. Last night I got my regular night time craving for icecream....I always thought it was the sugar cravings....but im realizing its my body craving fat...because I got out some olives and dipped them in some hummus, so weird I know but yummy and after just a few I didnt have any cravings anymore. Off to bed I went with another day behind me.
I need to start exercising BIG time though if im going to lose 5.8 pounds a week lol. Jordy and I are going to do insanity in the garage at night. Ill do my situp routines in the house in the day and jog in the morning. That's the plan.
Tonight did not go as all as the day. Had a little melt down over my food processor breaking haha but still managed to stick to the diet. Did NOT manage to master my reaction to the food processor breaking ! Feeling the stress of realizing how much food my family is going through with this lifestyle. The kids and I are snacking on the fruits and veggies all day which is great, but I cant believe how fast it disappears! I sent Jordy to work this morning with what I thought was at LEAST a couple of days of snacking veggies and fruit...and he said he ate it all today haha! Which is wonderful.....yet wallet busting. And yes right now he and I are snacking more to overcome cravings....but we will always eat more in this lifestyle. Thats the price of high nutrient low calorie eating. Hope we can handle the cost because we cant turn back now
