Re: BeachBride's Diet Journal
I'll give contrsucitve feedback to this 
.
6am - Protein Shake (Needs some Carbs, or you'll use up other sources like Muscle and Fat for fuel, instead.
WEIGHTS - back
9am - 2 egg whites, 1/3 C oatmeal w/1 TBL ground flaxseed, cinnamon & splenda (Might be a bit low here too, but not too bad).
11:30 am - Soy burger/no bun (Possible Carb deficeit here)
2 pm - 2 cups Cheddar Chex mix (sigh) I know, protein! I threw the rest of the bag in garbage, I love that stuff. (possible Carb problem).
RAN/WALKED OUTSIDE 4 MILES (felt guilty)
6 pm - small piece of chicken w/spaghetti sauce (Carb problem)
7:30 pm - 3 Cups light popcorn, chips & salsa (sigh) - I was watching a movie (not an excuse, I know) (Carb problem)
All in all, you have to watch your Carb intake if it's too low, your body will use Fats for fuel, Ketosis, and that has long term effects on your blood makeup, and can cause damage to things like Liver and Kidneys.
Whatever Carbs you did get today, it's not enough, and to avoid becoming Ketotonic, you'll need more for certain.

Just to say for what it's worth, I like this better, though Protein could be increased in meal 5. Almonds omnly yield 6 grams Protein per cup, so Protein increase would be better here.BeachBride wrote:Weds 4/4

Perhaps sone Low Salt Nuts and a glass of Skimmed Milk maybe, might work for extra Protein, as an example.
Good luck. I know it looks like I'm picking holes, but I honestly want you to do well, and I will give some support, and feedback when I can

4/10 Tues
1. Egg whites, 2 C coffee
2. 1/2 C Oatmeal, flaxseed, splenda, cinn
salad w/sliced turkey breast, diet iced tea
3. protein bar
4. almonds
5. lasagna & cauliflower
6. 1/3 C almonds, 1 sourdough pretzel, 1 C Sugarfree/Fatfree pudding, 2 chocolate balls from Easter,
I wasn't feeling good towards the end of the day, not sure why... I think I was trying to make myself feel better by eating (as you can see in meal 6) it didn't work and went to bed feeling weird (kind of sick stomach). Lasagna is not the BEST choice, but I did make it with a ton of vegetables, drained fat from beef and went easy on the pasta.
