My Rules

Rule #1: Avoid "white" carbohydrates.
This one is always the big controversial thing in dieting. People always like to give their suggestions of how cutting food groups is bad for you. I will need to be diligent in ignoring these people and working hard to stick to this diet. Also this rule only applies Monday-Saturday, and I can modify it if I do 'resistance-training', but I will find out more about that later in the book.

Rule #2: Eat the same meals over and over again.
I hate eating the same thing over and over, than I reflected on what I eat now: McDonalds, Triple O's, WalMart, Boston Pizza. I eat the same things week to week now, I think the key is making sure I rotate them, so that I'm not eating the same thing for dinner everyday. I am allowed to eat Protein, Legumes, and Vegetables to my hearts content. The author even gives you an example day that has 4 meals in it, and on a podcast he even encouraged eating 5 meals a day if needed. This part of the diet is really what makes me happy, if there is one thing I am good at it is eating!

Rule #3: Don't drink calories.
Well this just seems like common sense, but saying goodbye to these guys is gonna be difficult. Milk, soft drinks (bye-bye Coka Cola), and fruit juice will no longer be my vice.

Rule #4: Don't eat fruit.
This one made me scratch my head, his explanation make sense though, but I wont go into it in too much detail. Basically, fruit equals fructose and fructose is a sugar that your body is really good at converting to fat. So from now on, fruit on on Sunday.

Rule #5: Take one day off per week.
I'm sure this day will be my forte. I am picking Sunday as it is family dinner day and I would not be able to say no to that wonderful roast beef dinner!


Well those are the rules in a nut shell, tomorrow I will post my food plan for next week.
