Honestly in my opinion, except for the lack of fruit, I find OP to be pretty reasonable and not extreme at all. When I start heavy marathon training again, I will add fruit and targeted grains for specific workout, but really I eat veggies and meat mostly any way. I have 15 lbs to go to goal and actually then hope to gain back 5 -7 lbs of muscle as my racing weight is predicted at 127. I guess to my family this " healthy stuff" is crap, I'd rather be having surgery for a torn rotator cuff that I got while racing than have 3 heart attacks like my Dad at 55. Stick to it and do what's right for you! Only you really know! :hug:

Well, My hubby had a heart attack at 55 and 3 stents put in, it was a quick simple procedure. He has inherited heart disease, because he eats well, exercises and is not overweight. Me, I have great BP, Cholestrol, etc. but have had open rotator cuff and arthroscopic rotator cuff tear and decompression surgery. I am right now 2 1/2 weeks out of surgery and this surgery is NO PICNIC, so becareful what you say!
For the person who had a hard time fitting in "food" because of a tight work schedule, you must try Proti Diet Chocolate Dream bars, they are like a Nestle Crunch bar, they are scored, so I break them up into the little squares and put them in a snack baggie and put them right in my pocket and all afternoon I can reach in and let one melt in my mouth. They are totally OP as a restricted, hope that helps! |
