Hi, ladies. I just really feel frustrated here and would like a little input. I understand the concept of clean eating. I've read "Eat to Live" and think it has some good advice. I read everything posted here and value what's been said. My problem is, I'm having trouble implementing it.
I'm a vegetarian and eat eggs and dairy. But I'm also contemplating veganism - I've been cutting back on the animal products but haven't eliminated them totally. Also, I know veganism isn't necessary to obtain my goals. I just don't feel comfortable eating animal products.
I am 5-4 and weigh about 127,within a pound or two. I don't know my body fat percentage. I do know what I want to lose is the stubborn stuff on my hips and thighs. Doesn't everyone? There's not that much of it... I'm thinking if I could lose 5-7 pounds, that might take care of it. I hope.
It isn't absolutely necessary, I suppose. I'm not obsessed. It's just kind of that next fitness goal. I have a decent amount of muscle, but it is not defined.
So, all that said, can you give me some advice about what you might do in my shoes? He're are some menu samples:
B - 1 c lowfat yogurt and fruit; soy milk
OR -1 c steel cut oats with walnuts, a bit of Smart Balance margarine and 1.5 spoons of sugar
OR - on weekends, 2 eggs, 1 muffin, OJ
L - right now, following Eat to Live advice, a big leafy green salad with lots of raw veggies, occasionally beans
D - cooked veggies, grain of some sort
OR veggie soup with TVP or tofu added
I like to have a slice of homemade bread with butter.
I include nuts and dried fruits regularly. I really like PB but am trying my hardest to cut back. I'm working to cut out store-bought bread. I like potatoes, and used to eat them more than I do now. As for cheese and eggs... I used to eat cheese, probably 2 servings a day. I haven't in a week or so. Eggs usually just once on weekends, plus whatever are in baked goods, such as the muffins or cornbread I make. I really, really like bread, especially with PB on it. But like I said, I'm working on that one.
My goal is one dessert a week, but often I eat more. Bad, bad girl.
;-)
I feel like I eat healthy, but I need to do something different. Veganism may or may not work... but I've been fairly close to it for about two weeks, maybe a bit less, and don't feel much different.
Okay. That's the end. Thanks, everyone.
