Time is just flying by for me recently. My mother was right, the older you get the faster time passes. I'm trying to keep my head in the moment as much as possible. Hard to believe it is already 14 days on the meat and vegetable diet. Other than that one big cheat day last week I've had 2 cups of coffee with honey, 1 peach and about 1 ounce of raw nuts as minor cheats on the plan.
The most powerful feeling I have since cleaning up my diet is that I am no longer dreaming about the next meal, the next sugar fix. I'm not hungry until I'm actually hungry if that makes any sense. Once I am hungry I simply eat as much as I want with no restrictions. I'm not trying to lose bodyfat but I have a feeling there is no way to stop bodyfat loss while eating like this. Still avoiding the scale, guessing I am in the low 150's.
If I miss anything it's coffee. I've been making this delicious espresso for the past year and I think I miss this more than junk food. Hopefully I am not messing with my insulin response too much by drinking 4-5 cups of unsweetened green tea every day.
I plan on sticking to the 50/50 meat and vegetable diet until the end of the week. Next Monday I am going to start experimenting with some intermittent fasting (IF). IF is not actually a fast since I will eat plenty of food while experimenting with it. The foundation of my IF plan is to eat between the hours of 11am-7pm and fast from 7pm until 11am. This would of been an impossible task while under the influence of my old eating habits, I can be a terrible night-time eater! Since I no longer go to bed with any feelings of hunger and stop eating at about 9pm recently I think the shift to IF will be easy.
