Day 8 (Morning)

So I've been thinking... Even though I love all of the science behind Protein Power, and I'm losing weight doing it, I've decided that I'm going to start doing things a little bit differently to see if it works. I'm basically going to try to combine the principles of Atkins with Protein Power. So here's what I'm going to try to do for the rest of the week (starting tomorrow, I already have stuff cooked that won't fit below):

• Eat at least my minimum protein (34g/meal)
• Limit my carbs to less than 20g
• Cut out the fruit and grains for the time being (no more strawberries or low-carb wraps/bread... waaah!)
• Only eat veggies that are on the Atkins-approved list, keeping carbs to no more than 10g (ECC or Net) per meal... I'd like to average 4-8 for each meal
• Eat enough fat to make me feel full (good fats only, no trans junk!)
• Heavy cream and cheese only for dairy (no more whole milk for now)
  
• Drink 8+ glasses of water
• No pre-packaged stuff
  

As usual I'll keep all of my food listed in my FitDay account, so we'll see how this goes. Wayne will probably keep doing what he's been doing because it works for him, and he loves getting his berries (which we have to keep in the house for Claire anyway). But I may talk with him about adjusting his diet to what I'm doing because he's been complaining incessantly about being hungry. So if I tell him he can eat as much meat as he wants until he's full, he'll be happier :-)
