New Years Resolutions

The year has started out with a visit to the Nutrionist. Guess what? She put me on a Diet. This time it seems like it's reasonable because she's letting me eat and drink what I want, but controlling the amount of Carbs on a daily basis. I figured I give it a try and see what happens.

This diet is all about Carb control. 1 Carb is equal to 15 grams. Also, you have to eat all the meals and snacks. Skipping meals/snacks will only mess up the diet.

Here's the Diet:

Breakfast ( 7:30-8am )
3 Carbs ( 3 x 15 = 45 grams )
0 Proteins
1 Fat

Lunch ( 11am )
4 Carbs ( 60 grams )
Unlimited Non Starchy vegetables
3-4 oz Protein
2 Fat

Snack ( 3 pm )
2 Carbs ( 30 grams )

Dinner ( 6pm )
4 Carbs ( 60 grams )
Unlimited Non Starchy vegetables
3-4 oz Protein
2 Fat

Snack ( 9pm )
3 carbs ( 45 grams )


I've never been one to read labels, but if you simply go to the Carbohydrate section on the box or can and read, it tells you the serving size and the amount of carbs listed by "gram".

As an aid, you can go to Calorieking.com and it will tell you what Carb grams are in "fast food" restaurant menu's. We eat out so much that this is a key site to make sure I stay consistant.

Funny thing is.. Fried Chicken is one of the lowest "carb" foods that you can eat at Fast Food. Me loves me some fried Chicken!

We'll see how this goes. I'm going to make an effort and see if it works...

later.
