what's the difference in my diet? I always thgouht that I ate well, and this diet generally reaffirmed it, but:
- LOTS of VARIOUS vegetables...which I always did, so no real change here. funny that I had to reduc the amount of fruit. I didn't expect this.
- ZERO Bread, almost zero Pasta, very little brown rice, some wraps (roti in my case), some rye bread, very little potatoe. this has been the first big change! cutting out bread was difficult in the first days...most of my meals include curries so this was a tough switch (curry with no roti/bread/rice goes against my culture!)
- MUCH more meat and fish and eggs then I was eating. This is the other big change. ok, I was on a drive to reduce meat over the past years. so i ate huge meat meals 3or5 times per month. now I have 150g of meat almost every day. 2or3 eggs almost every day, and 150g fish 3 per week. I ate a fair amount of meat almost everyday for most of my adult life...quite a lot actualy
-"150g of meat almost every day. 2or3 eggs almost every day, and 150g fish 3 per week"...honestly, I don't get to eat so much according to the plan everyday! I'm ok with it because I do balance off with the friday drinks/dinner with my friends or huge saturday lunch with my parents
- there is no menu for Sundays...lol, my wife says I shouldn't eat on sundays, I say I can eat what I want on sundays
so Sundays is now my only take-out day...well, there are those days when I'm in the office and someone buys dinner when we are there till late
