Happy Saturday "steem team" are you in a full blown PANIC yet?
Change is scary! If you remember from yesterday, you learned about the "BIG FOUR:" vegetables, fruit, protein and starch/carbs.
Perhaps you've tried to record your food but couldn't find a categorie that described it. Did ya hit the panic button?
What do I do with Mac and cheese? Or pizza? It's not in the big four??
What is your idea of the "platform" for a healthy balanced diet? Would it include vegetables? If so what kind, how many and how often should you eat vegetables if they are part of a healthy diet?
Today it's time to think about what change you really need to make. If you continue to eat the same food, you'll get the same results.
I decided to make four categories as the "base" or "platform" for my diet.
Did I always hit "4-6 servings of veggies" in a day? No...but I hit that goal way more times than I ever did in the past.
The food log with the big four is your blueprint, platform, bench mark and guide to lead you to the change you want.
Work that!! As you log in the vegetables everyday, it will be replacing the Mac and cheese or pizza automatically without having to choose.
If you use the food log as a guide to what you truly want to change, you will see exactly how well you hit your goals as well as the efficacy of your hard work.
No need to bury your head in the sand, instead today think about your body. What kind of food would fuel you to success? If your body was an expensive, high performance, precision engineered car, would ya put cheap gas in it?
The food log is your guide to where you want to go...fuel well my steem team! If you want to know how to make it fun, simply EMBRACE CHANGE!
Homework: keep recording your food, start to make a blueprint or check list of the foods you MUST eat in a day. Please consider the magnificent vegetable!
Tomorrow: vegetables ...you knew it was coming...right?!?
On my fit ness pal it say my macros should be 20% protien 30% fat and 50% carbs. Too many carbs in my opinion. What do you think is a balanced ratio for wieght loss? I have been going over on the protien and fat and below on the carbs with success but have plateaued recently with about 7 lbs to go. What do you think?
