This is an experiment to see whether I can find a regimen of eating habits that works for me without taking too much of my time and energy. The only way I can change habits is by creating new ones.
My rules for myself are pretty straightforward:
* Don't be stupid
* Eat real food, not food products
* Avoid chemical-laden reduced fat crap, artificial sweeteners, etc
* HFCS is right out
* Prepared foods are right out
* Some packaged stuff is OK-- things like bread, crackers, condiments-- so long as they follow the above rules
* Vegetables, fruits, lean meats, dairy, some rice/grains will be the bulk of my diet
This is a short experiment, starting July 6 and continuing through July 30. On the 31st I leave for a week and a half of vacation, and I have no intention of sticking with anything like a diet while I'm gone.
I know from experience that I won't stick with anything unless it's easy for me to do. I started by making a list of candidate foods, along with approximate calorie counts. Filling the house with things I can eat and planning ahead just a little bit makes everything easier.
I'm aiming for 1000 calories/day with the expectation that I'll usually overshoot and hit about 1200. (Yeah, I know.)
