1. Don't eat more calories than your body uses throughout the day.
2. Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be.
I like this list better.0 -
My goal isn't to be "skinny," so I'm free to ignore these and eat white potatoes.0

If you don't know how to eat, i would see why you would follow these rules. Everyone has to learn somehow.
I'm hating these rules, but after eating so bad, I followed a list similar to it, then changed it up. I dont like a majority of these because I know how to eat.
Bottom line is calories in < calories out. But I do still watch what I eat, for health reasons.0 -
So on the meatless day, what are you supposed to eat after noon if you cant eat carbs? Lard? Lol
This is actually exactly what I was thinking.0 -
But, white potatoes are so good for you. Very high in potassium and fiber if you eat the skins. Not chipped or fried but a baked potato is sooogood.0
-
No carbs after lunch!
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Also... if I 'Go to Bed Hungry' there is no way I'm going to 'Sleep Right'. These rules contradict one another.
The rest of the rules are 'meh'. I could take them or leave them - they don't make much of a difference to me.0 -
Not attacking you - these are not your 'rules' - but most of these are not necessary for weight loss, especially if you are logging your food.
My rules:
Rule 1: Eat at a reasonable calorie deficit with mostly nutritious foods
Rule 2: Hit your macros for body composition (protein) and health (fats) reasons
Rule 3: Strength train
Rule 4: Sleep
Rule 5: Eat ice-cream every night
I like your rules better, with just a few modifications:
Rule 1: Eat [a reasonable amount of calories] with mostly nutritious foods
Rule 2: Hit your macros for body composition (protein) and health (fats) reasons
Rule 3: Strength train
Rule 4: Sleep
Rule 5: [Drink red wine] every night0 -
Epic fail!0

Don't forget Vit C. Potatos are a rather good source for Vit C.0 -
Sounds horrific!0

With some extra sharp grated cheddar and light sour cream ...
Mmmmmm ...
And a side of roasted asparagus.0 -
1) Drink a large glass of water before every meal - no excuses.
I drink water all day, so um, yeah. I guess I do this.
2) Don't drink your calories.
Deal
3) Eat protein at every meal or stay hungry and grouchy.
Makes sense
4) Slash your intake of refined flours and grains.
Duh
5) Eat 30 to 50 grams of fiber a day.
I do. Maybe not 50, but 30+.
6) Eat apples and berries every single day. Every single day. Single day!
How bout every single week? It's cold out. I'll eat a year's worth of fruit in the summer when it's actually good.
7) No carbs after lunch.
This sounds like torture.
8) Learn to read food labels so you know what you are eating.
Does anyone really not know how to read a label? :huh:
9) Stop guessing about portion size and get it right - for good.
Word.
10) No more added sweeteners, including artificial ones.
Roger that. Unless I really want dessert. Then screw you, Bob.
11) Get rid of those white potatoes.
Don't really like 'em anyway.
12) Make one day a week meatless.
I make probs 50% of my meals meatless, so I'm counting it.
13) Get rid of fast foods and fried foods.
I'll agree with this until someone puts fried zucchini or something delish in front of me.
14) Eat a REAL breakfast.
I do. But I don't think everyone needs to.
15) Make your own food and eat at least ten meals a week from home
mmmkay.
16) Banish high-salt foods.
Or drink lots of water.
17) Eat your veggies - JUST DO IT!
You can't tell me what to do! You're not my real dad!
18) Go to bed hungry!!!
No.
19) Sleep right.
If the baby lets me.
20) Plan one splurge meal a week if you must.
Nah. I'll splurge when there's something fun going on. Might be twice a week. Might be once a month.0 -
Nevermind0
-
18) Go to bed hungry!!!
Can't do this one--stomach growls all night and I can not sleep---but good advice...going to get some water.0 -
How are you supposed to do 3 and 12 at the same time
There are plenty of meat-free foods with protein.0 -
10) No more added sweeteners, including artificial ones.
Why not artificial sweeteners? I'm sorry but I love my Splenda.0 -
I got that same pin & repinned :drinker: !0
