What have you got to lose?  The information is priceless.

My food plan

I have been asked several times what I eat to achieve the success that I have been able to reach.

For me, I am a food-aholic.  It is a strange term, probably one that doesn't truly exist, and yet, I am on.

I love food.

Before I started on this journey, I was eating between 3000 and 6000 calories a day.  I tried eating healthier

foods.

You know what all the nutritionists say, eat your whole grains.  Eat lean meat; eat your fruits and vegetables.

I was doing this.  

My problem was serving size.  Why only have 1/2 cup of bran cereal when it is supposed to be good for you.

Why not have 1.5 cups?

Whole grain pasta is good for you.  So why only have 3/4 cups? I would eat 2 cups.  I would smother it in

homemade sauce or in real parmesan cheese.  Cheese is healthy, so why limit to only a sprinkle?

I am a meat eater.  I love my steak, chicken and fish.  I would have no problem polishing off a 24 oz. steak.

I would regularly order a 16 oz. steak when going to a restaurant.  I would usually choose fries as my side.

Can't have steak without fries right?
I was also a snacker.  I would have a bag of chips or a candy bar any time I felt like it.

Here is a break down as far as nutrients go for a day of eating.

Carbs 677.8 g
Fat 288.82
Protein 169.28 g

Let me tell you, I thought I was doing the right thing, but felt horrible.
That is truly flawed thinking.
I was making some very poor choices of some very healthy foods.

I have worked with a mentor (Gail at the Healthy Weigh Clinic) on what constitutes a healthy diet.

I keep track of my food.  I follow serving sizes.  Yes, it means using measuring cups and a scale,

but I do not want to go back to where I was before.

I am now eating much healthier and I feel full.  When before, I would think I was hungry, when in fact

I was suffering from sugar cravings.
I was a carb junkie.

Now this is what I eat in a typical day.  It works for me.  I feel better and I have much more energy.

Breakfast
7 oz. Schneider’s Fat free ham
1 cup Blueberries
1 serving of Source Low Fat Yogurt
1 serving PC Blue Menu Fibre First Multi-Bran Cereal
1/2 skim milk

On alternate days I replace the cereal and milk with 2 slices of light rye bread and 1 tbsp. butter
Or I simply add homemade granola to my yogurt.

Lunch
2 cups lettuce salad
1 serving of Fat Free salad dressing
1 medium pork chop

On alternate days I have 1 filet of broiled or grilled fish and 2 cups of sliced veggies.

Supper
2 cups cooked cabbage
6oz boneless/skinless chick breast.

I also have a mid-day snack.
1/2 cup of pistachios and a medium Granny Smith Apple.

This works out to the following:

Carbs 85.52 g
Fat 27.26 g
Protein 106.58 g

A huge difference in how I was eating.

Like I said before, this is what is working for me.  You have to try to make positive changes that work for you.

This is primarily a fitness program but for me because of my health it also became about the food I was eating.

I would not call it a diet.  I call it a life change.  

I was living to eat.  Now I eat to live.  And I feel great.
