Public goal to be held accountable: OPERATION ABS One could safely call me an extremest when it comes to dieting. I am either really good at it or horrible. Currently, I am aiming for really good. Last year I rocked a diet and looked my best ever, lets see if I can do that again. For the next 3 months (or until I get my abs back) I plan to keep consistent daily meals minus one weekend cheat day. Here is the plan: The most successful dieters, regardless of whether their goal is muscle gain or fat loss, eat the same few meals over and over again. Mix and match, constructing each meal with one from each of the three following groups: Proteins: Egg whites with one whole egg for flavor Chicken breast or thigh Grass-fed organic beef Pork (only farm fresh and organically grown) Legumes: (I will prepare in large batches) Lentils Black beans Pinto beans Vegetables: Spinach Asparagus Peas Mixed vegetables I can eat as much of the above food items as I choose. I plan to keep it simple and pick three or four meals and repeat them. I have found Mexican food, swapping out rice for vegetables, to be one of the cuisines most conducive to the “slow carb” diet. Perfect timing! Most people who go on “low” carbohydrate diets complain of low energy and quit, not because such diets can’t work, but because they consume insufficient calories. A 1/2 cup of rice is 300 calories, whereas a 1/2 cup of spinach is 15 calories! Vegetables are not calorically dense, so it is critical that you add legumes for caloric load. Day one weigh in… 167.7 pounds (with jeans & a t-shirt). The plan is to drop to 155 or 158 (tops) and than gain a little more muscle mass
