For the next 30 days:
- Eat with abandon:
- A variety of quality meat, fatty meats, organ meats, fish and seafood, eggs
- Dark leafy green vegetables
- Fresh, fermented vegetables
- Learn your spices & herbs to make your food taste amazing and avoid boredom
- Moderate these:
- Save starchy vegetables (sweet potato, roots, tubers, squashes) and fruits (best are berries) for post-workout
- Moderate nuts and seeds (small amounts, not all the time)
- Use these oils to cook with: animal fats (tallow, ghee, suet), coconut oil; Use these oils as toppings (don’t cook with): olive oil, nut oils
- Make sure you’re getting enough protein (1g/lb bodyweight per day) and eat to satiety
- Avoid packaged foods (make it yourself)
These foods are absolutely not allowed during the Challenge…
- Grains, breads, legumes, cereals, rice
- All dairy products
- Alcohol
- Sugars, artificial sweeteners (agave, cane juice, molasses, stevia, etc.)
- Protein powders
Things to look forward to:
1. Weight loss
2. A new positivity and lust for life
3. New-found energy levels
4. Manageable hunger
5. Improved sleep/ reduced snoring
6. Reduced aches & pains
7. Reduced GI symptoms (heartburn, cramps, flatulence)
Since vodka is made from fresh, fermented potatoes that should be allowed
ReplyDeleteIt is, but not during the 30-day induction period. One has to get one's system properly aligned and functioning at maximum efficiency before re-introducing things like alcohol or potatoes. During the first 30 days, one has to take on a boot-camp mentality, do a gut check (both literally and figuratively), and be completely dedicated. To ponder cheating before Day 1 has dawned is the road to self defeat. Hoo-ah!
DeleteI wish you luck and admire your enthusiasm and belief.
