My Food Journal

Posted by On May - 25 - 2010

So I have decided that I need to lose weight. I currently weigh 114 pounds, which is not bad but it is not where I want to be. Right now there is so much propaganda about how it’s ok to be fat and maybe it is to some people but if you can see fat then it is fat. It is not baby fat, it is not just skin, it’s fat. So I don’t need any comments about how I am skinny and don’t need to lose weight. I do.
Not a lot. Just like 5 pounds or so.

My biggest problem is overeating. I don’t eat red meat or chicken, just fish. Salmon mostly. So my diet is mostly vegetables but I do like to indulge in carbs such as fried rice and avocados. Both of these are good for you but i just can’t stop myself so the ammounts get exessive. So I am going to post a food diary on here. Maybe this will help me keep my portions in check and keep me away from the pizza.

Day 1

  • Salad with tomatos and cucumber and lettice
  • half of avocado
  • califlower with mushrooms stirfry with cucumber
  • buckwheat with mushroom stirfry
  • 1 apple
  • 2 corn on a cob
  • toast with avocado and green tea
  • banana
  • tea
  • another toast with avocado and green tea

Day 2

  • Half of a small melon
  • Salad with tomatos, cucumbers, lettice and mushrooms
  • Large stirfry made of peppers and mushrooms with a piece of salmon
  • 1 Sandwich with avocado and cucumber
  • 1 Apple
  • green tea

Day 2 went fairly well.   actually ate lots, that stir fry was huge.  I could have split it into like 3 different meals but it was so good so I overindulged.  It’s ok. It’s all healthy.  Also I am going on walks now so that’s good.

Day3

Weighed in at 111.5 which is a big change from 114.  So happy.  Gonna eat more protein today, soaked some chick peas overnight, will cook them today.

  • a slushie ( i know, but it is hot here lol)
  • a salad with mushrooms and lettice and half of avocado ( i am obsessed with avocados)
  • pizza 3 slices
  • ice cap (1000000 calories = pizza, probably.)

So today did not go so good.  It’s hard to eat healthy on the go.  I didn’t eat all that much which is good since portions are my problem. I just ate the wrong foods.  I will do better tomorrow. 

Day4

Trying to do better today.  We will see. lol.  Gonna wait for a few days before weighing myself.

  • a slushie (still hot here)
  • steamed brocolli with salmon and leftover pepper strifry
  • sadwitch with smoked salmon broocolli and cucumber. If you like smoked salmon, you will love this.  So delicious!
  • tea

That’s all for now.  I will update later.

The Look Hot Diet Smart Plan

Posted by On March - 13 - 2009

fitness_modelThis diet, presented exclusively by Look Hot Diet Smart is one of the only plans that does not reduce the amount of food you eat, which in turn allows you to never feel hungry. The diet if you can call it that, is based on the fact that your body will work better if you give it the proper food. Think about this. When you eat a slice of pizza with many ingredients and additives the body has no idea what these components are because they are not purely natural but rather man “enhanced”. So the body does not count it as anything beneficial and adds it to your fat storage because that is the only thing it can do with it. This is the process in the simple terms.

However if your body is receiving high quality food it can process it better and store less as fat. This is true even if the two foods have the exact same number of calories. However lowering calories also h
elps because most people do not need anywhere near the amount of calories that they consume.
So enough theory. Here is the Look Hot Diet Smart Plan.

Rules:
1. Do not eat when you think “it’s time to eat”, instead eat when you feel hungry. (even if it is in the middle of the night.)

2. Do not finish all of your meal. Leave a little on the plate.

3. Eat ONLY when you feel you are hungry.

4. Do not eat while watching TV

5. Eat 50% veggies and 40% carbs and meat.

6. Do not eat processed food

Why The Rules?

People say that it is important to have a big breakfast. That’s fine if you wake up early. But what about those of us who wake up late? Should they have a huge breakfast followed by a huge lunch? All within 1 hour? You see it doesn’t make sense. Another good point is that we are all different and some people need to eat very soon after they wake up while others do not. In my personal experience I can tell you that I lost much more weight when I started to listen to what my body was telling me.
The second rule is in place because in the west we are used to overeating. Portions are out of control and most people consume way too much.
Third rule is there because we often eat because we feel bad, or good. Only eat when you need to eat not when your emotions change. Food is often a comfort that we seek when feelings fluctuate. At this point it has become such a habit that it is impossible to just stop being an emotional eater. Instead you need to learn to recognize that comfort eating feeling and switch from eating to another enjoyable activity such as a nap or a bubble bath.
The forth rule is all about enjoying the food. Do not eat while you are hypnotized by the TV. Your brain needs to understand that this is eating time and you are consuming food for the wellbeing of your body. It is an important function and should be done with care and without distractions.
The fifth rule can be modified slightly in whatever direction you need to, such as for people who are vegetarians. The point of this rule is not an exact percentage. It just means that you should eat a lot of veggies and a smaller amount of meat or carbs. Putting it in percent form makes it easier if you picture your plate as 100 percent. Half Veggies the other half meat and carbs.
The last one is the hardest. NO PROCESSED FOOD. Only the best food. To put it another way, if you eat the best kind of food you will look the best and if you eat bad food then you will look…. for LOOK HOT DIET SMART to help you. Right?
Anyways this is the basic model of the diet. Do not start any diet until you speak with your doctor and modify it according to your needs.
