Great advice! I love pastries so much.. I fit in your 2%... BUT yes.. losing fat is way better!brentyboy wrote:I guarantee only 2% of the earth's population love pastries and chocolate more then me. And no one likes to go for a beer more than me. But here's the thing. I have discovered I love losing fat more than I love these previously mentioned itmes, so I must choose. Simple eh?
Choose
That is great stuff Brent!brentyboy wrote:You can do anything you want to do, just choose to do it
The power for you to do this is all in your head. Humans are programmed in many ways to be lazy. Even in prehistoric times, when females had pre-defined domesticated roles, men would be very active through hunting, but things like mammalian domestication, changed that for some, making animals more of convenience foods, or easier to get from local farmers, so as time progressed, humans lost the need to be active, through progress and modernisation.sahanrishi wrote: I am a pure vegetarian.
breakfast at 10:30am: i glass full milk, a handful of mixed dry fruits(walnuts, almonds, cashew, raisn, dates) and a piece of fruit.
(You're slightly confusing the issue here for yourself. Walnuts Almonds and Cashews are Nuts, Cashews being the only one of those three to be a Carb source. The Raisins and Dates are very high GI, especially Dates, they rank about 105, which is higher than pure Glucose, when comparing the same Carb amount in both.
You need Bloodsugar elevation when you wake, not least to have Carbs to feed your Brain. You could go a bit higher than you would normally, but not too much is quite important, as frequently high Bloodsugar elevations can sometimes result in type two Diabetes.
I would suggest, you keep the Fruit, keep the Cashews, for added Carb and Fats, and then you need more Protein than the Nuts will give you, in order to preserve muscle mass, and give yourself adequate daily amino acid intake. As you already do that with Milk, you should be fine.)
lunch: brown rice or 2 wheat breads(flat indian bread) called "roti" with vegetables vegetables are either boiled or stir fried with some spices) and a cup of youghurt.
(I'd stick to the Rice and Veggies, as Wheat bread is low Protein. Veggies will lower the effects on Bloodsugar from the Rice. I would however reduce Rice amount, keep the Yoghurt for more Protein and Carbs, and consider perhaps a slight increase in Veggie amounts, to help recover some lost Rice Carbs.)
evening time: green tea and most of the times a handful of banana chips, potato wafers (i know this is not doing any good to me, but i feel the need to eat something crunchy with a little salt and spice)
(No you need to change this. I'd would opt for something like a portion of Legumes, (Peas, Beans, Lentils), and a small portion of Rice or Mushrooms, to boost Carbs, and to compliment the two Protein sources, to make sure Amino intake is good.)
dinner: 2 "rotis" (indian wheat bread) with vegetables (vegetables are either boiled or stir fried with some spices)
(This is okay, but you need more Protein somewhere. Difficult for a Vegetarian, but maybe some Low Fat Cheese perhaps, or some Eggs, (assuming you're not an Eggitarian), Legumes maybe, or Mushrooms perhaps.)
before bed time: a glass of warm milk (i sometimes forget to drink it or feel too lazy to drink it) i take in plain milk wihtout sugar or any added flavours.
(If you want to add snacks in between meals, then things like Low Fat Cheese, Peanuts, Nut Yoghurts, Beans and Rice, maybe even Soy and Soy products like Tempeh, Edamame, Tofu etc etc, if possible.)
