One thing I want to do is clean up my diet, again. I found a Dr. Kruse online who talks about leptin resistance. Since his "cure" is all about the low carb, I thought I'd start a post in this forum to come to daily and record what I've eaten. I need accountability to help me stay on track.
My dietary goals for the next week:
- Keep daily calories under 1570 - that's 500 calories below RMR.
- Start my day with 50 - 70 gm protein.
- Keep total daily net carbs under 25 gm. (Daily carbs minus fiber).
- No between-meal snacking.
- Only three meals a day.
- No eating after 6:30 pm.
- Stay faithful to my vitamin supplement regimen.
- Only weight training and Pilates, and only in the afternoon/evenings.
- Proper warm-up and cool-down sequences, especially for hip flexors and shoulders.
- Accountability (coming here and other support forums)
- Sleep hygiene (8 hours of sleep on a regular schedule)
- Staying on schedule
- Keeping my environment tidy
I forgot to add this...starting weight for this little personal challenge: 305 lbs.
And I'm staying on this challenge/program for the next 12 weeks.
