Chipotle gave me heartburn last night, again!! I guess I better not go back there again for a while :-/
I was reviewing my FitDay stats for the past 10 days, and I noticed that some days I have been under 10 carbs. And you know, on those days I felt full pretty much all day. I also felt better, in general. So I think I'm going to start doing very-low-carb for a while. I doubt that Wayne will do it, but we'll see. If I lose a zillion pounds, he might try it ;-)
So here are my revised "rules":
- No limit on carbs, but aim for 10g/day max.
- Eat at least my minimum protein (34g/meal)
- Limit non-animal-based carbs; try not to get no more than 2-4 carbs worth of these in a single meal, and don't eat any of these if I don't need to (usually just the meat is more than enough!).
- Eat enough fat to make me feel full (good fats only, no trans junk!)
- Heavy cream, butter, and cheese only for dairy... might cut these if they seem to stall me
- Drink water when I'm thirsty
- Limit artificial sweeteners and caffeine... might also have to cut these out
- No more than 2 diet sodas each day... if I cut the stuff above out, these will go!
- Use organic, natural food as much as possible; try to get grass-fed, free-range meat
As for today, we went to a birthday party, and Wayne didn't eat any breakfast or lunch. So he had CAKE!!!! :-o I managed to feed Claire ice cream and not pass out from the temptation.
I had a couple of eggs and some bacon for breakfast, and then had the toppings of the pizza from the party (the sauce probably had more carbs than I should have eaten, because I'm feeling sleepy!!). Dinner tonight is going to be steak, steak, and more steak. We're going out to dinner with some friends to Longhorn. I'll probably have a filet mignon, or something just as tasty.
My very-low-carb experiment will start tomorrow, even though we have another birthday party to go to!
