Down another pound this morning which is awesome because I had a couple of brownies tonight- Doh! Do as I say, not as I do. Here's a three-fer:
#43 - Cut Intake By 1/3
Really, you'll survive. I was surprised by what I discovered doing tip #45. Even a guy my size really didn't need to carbo-load the way I was and discovered that just by cutting the overall quantity of stuff I was eating by 1/3 I was starting to feel a little less bloated all the time.
#44 - Avoid The White Stuff
Ah, the miracle of processed foods. They make our cakes fluffier, our breads whiter, and our asses wider. I stick with whole grains now and have really come to like breads made from sprouted grains (no flour). Good stuff. Still though, moderation is the key (even for the good stuff).
#45 - Keep Track, It's A Shocker
I really didn't think I was eating all that much. I mean, I would skip meals from time to time, even eat about half of what I normally would at the buffet but what a shock after I spent a week keeping track of my daily food on www.fitday.com! It was a realization I sorely needed and by tracking my food intake I'm better able to make sure I'm getting the right kinds of food.
I discovered that by doing little things like what I describe here, I've able to develop some beneficial habits while applying the brakes to some others. Will they work for you? Another thing I learned is that each person is different and everyone has to do their own thing- it isn't an overnight process and results take time.
