A rambling reply!
Hi Christi,
I know where you're coming from! Try just eating the eggs every other morning instead of every morning! Get another book and see how the authors differ and what they agree on! The food part is where I need the most help. I am in some deeply ingrained habits and I don't have much time for retraining! I hardly even know how to cook meats!
BodyRx had some good suggestions like buy fresh turkey breast at the deli. However, not all delis have fresh turkey breast so you have to scout for it! Also shrimp is a great source of protein. Have you ever had a shrimp omelet? MMmm! Bags of frozen shrimp are easy to use!
Also don't overlook the cumulative fiber in fruit and veg. This lowers the need for as much Fiber One or bran. Apples cut up are better than crackers to put peanut butter on (one of my daily habits!) Raspberries are a great alternative to pretzels. Whole wheat bread is better than other kinds.
Turkey jerky or beef jerky is better than chips! Try doing the new things every other day instead of daily.
I agree that Fiber One tastes- well, far from Cap'n Crunch! I think it tastes OK mixed with other cereal though. I am starting to incorporate it with nonfat cottage cheese for a snack. Not every time!
Watching that high fructose corn syrup in everything is the best piece of info that I got out of this book. I think however the fact that Dr. Connelly advocates no cardio at all goes along with a slightly more restrictive food program than I like.
I will gladly do 2 cardios one week instead of 3 to 4 but I woyuld rather eat a little more of fun food and do Rhythmic Step than do neither. I think cardio gives a functional advantage too.
Remember, carbs are sugar, starch and grains. Protein is meat, fish, and some dairy products. You know what fat is! Well that's enough for now! -Connie
