Why the sad face? I checked the Juice Plus label - soy! Soy has a profound estrogen load (i.e. is affects your hormones. Do you want man-boobs?)  What's a synergy drink? LaCriox is fine to drink, as is unwept tea. Food looks a little light overall and today, you aren't getting enough carbs. That may be why you so hangry. |

Frustrated perhaps, b/c some of the foods I thougtht were ok are either off limits or contain hidden traces of stuff I'm not to eat. But! On the bright side I feel less achy in the mornings and less stif. Not sure if that is a placebo effect or perhaps a result of the diet change. Today felt much better. Either my cravings are diminishing or I'm getting enough calories. Only did the WOD this am. No other training. Spoke with rob who cautioned doing too much and since I have been coming everyday, ill probably run and bike in the am and then be back Fri/ sat. I'm sure with the light weight I'm ok now but later will need to rest and recooperate. Www.synergydrinks.com a light drink that has some probiotics Wed 3/4/15 WOD - snatch and squats need some work!! Loved the handstand wall thing. Finished ultragen 1/2 serving. Sad to see that progenex has sucralose in it Bkfast: water, 3 eggs scrambled with yellow tomatoes from home garden and scallions. 1/2 avocado. Plain tea Snack am: tea, nut mix, 1 hard boiled egg, Lunch: left over meatloaf (4oz) w/ beets and zucchini, chicken vegetable soup-10-oz, coconut water 8oz Snack pm: water, 2oz beef jerky, sm. handful nut raisin mix, coconut water Dinner: 4oz snapper w/ basil, 1/2 sweet potato, 1 large carrot, beet side Post dinner- banana and 2 scoops almond butter. An no I do not want man boobs...already have some...am looking to u And rob to work me into a chiseled freak |

You just have to read labels and eat real food. Processed foods have all the hidden crap. I promise it gets easier. You are in the learning stage now! And it will pay off. If you are less achy, it's probably because this diet greatly reduces inflammation - yay! Kombucha (synergy) is good. I drink it a lot, too. Regarding protein powders - they all have something in them pretty much. If the rest of your diet is clean, then you will be fine. Food looks FANTASTIC! Keep this up and you will be an Adonis! |

More protein! Bacon is more of a fat, not protein-dense. The chicken in the curry is a small amount. So, add protein to your snacks and more to breakfast.

Carbs: squashes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yuca, plantain.
You pretty much haven't had one day where you haven't cheated...you should be eating clean every day with 2-3 cheats per week.

If you truly want to do a 30 day reset/no cheat, nix the Ezekiel Bread...soy and wheat. You can introduce it after and see how you do.
ADD PROTEIN TO YOUR SNACKS! You should be eating protein each time you eat. That's one of the reasons you are hungry. Plus, other than rice and a small bit of sweet potato in soup, there isn't a carb in sight. Eat nutrient-dense carbs and save rice for when you are in a pinch.

Q: how much protein (g or oz) per day. I'm 5-11, 173.
Also, got me some plantains. Any suggestions on yummy recipes/links?
