I have been trying to get off the weight with Team Beach Body Slim in Six video, and Nestor has rejoined the gym this week, but we have decided to take it a step further to the way we eat. Man I love food, and so does Nestor. I love making up recipes and whipping together fancy meals like seafood fettuccine alfredo. So this change is going to be hard for us, but we both realize the importance of maintaining a healthy weight and teaching Gabriel how to eat healthy. So does this new diet have to be a bad thing? I'm hoping not. I'm sure with a little practice I will be able to put together some delicious meals that are good for us.
What does this diet entail? Here are our rules:
Little to no bread
Limit foods high in carbs (like pasta, boo.)
Little to no processed foods
No processed drinks or soda
No caffeinated drinks
Little to no red meats
Lots of water
Milk and some juice is OK
Lots of fruits and veggies
Limit eating out
Limit desserts (which I love making!)
No fried foods
When I say limit I mean almost none. But I have a hard time saying never, because there are always family dinners and special occasions, and you gotta cheat every once in a while.
That's it. I don't think it will be too hard. These are things we should be doing already. I will be cooking more from scratch, but I already do a lot of that. The hardest part will be finding recipes that we enjoy. Practice makes perfect. Wish us luck!
