Carnivores Unite!

and put down the meat to let your digestive system have a break....

anybody...anybody?

Well I decided to do this to support my face as we work towards (preferably smaller) healthier bodies. The first time I did it, it got me over a plateau that I had been struggling to beat and showed me that my carb intake was way too high. I adjusted my overall diet which helped me at least maintain my weight with a lower level of exercise and lose weight when I acted like I had a goal to reach and stopped self sabbotaging.

This week, I've added a juice substitute for breakfast (instead of cereal), the plan so far is:
Monday: Broccoli, Pear, Apple
Tuesday: Orange, Strawberry, Grape
Wednesday: Carrot, Orange, SOMETHING
Thursday: Orange, Strawberry, Grape
Friday: Broccoli, Pear, Apple

What I've noticed is that I'm not as hungry. I eat more veggies and fruits and the scale is moving in the right direction - you know, the one that makes me smaller.

I have read a few articles that say that if done the right way, giving up meat can help your weight loss efforts so while I am not trying to convince you to go vegan...a break every now and again might help your overall heatlh! But only if you promise not to become one of the pompous jerks that say things like "vegetarians tend to weigh less and be more active" or "people who eat meat are generally fatter" - to that I say forget you and the box that you are trying to constantly place people in!
