Yep, they're both me. And subway just love to claim any part of my success, but I ate a total of 6" worth of their products in the last year and a half.
The biggest contributor (aside from an iron will) is Men's Health ABS Diet. It works guys, the proof is in the pics.
Can you give us a brief run down of what you ate during your fat phase and your new healthier eating?
What foods do you miss/crave the most?
Do you drink coffee, soft drinks, tea, water?
During my fat phase I ate copious amounts of everything and drank gallons of soda every week. I was totally out of control - I'd get two chick-fil-a sandwiches, the largest fries they offered, and a huge sweet tea then go and get ice cream at coldstone creamery. Just an example.
My new eating habits won't appeal to most people. I eat 6 times a day for a total of about 3000 calories. My carb/protein/fat ratio is 60/20/20. And I don't eat any beef or any food that is fried or breaded. On average I have 10 servings of fruits/veggies and 4 servings of dairy (mostly yogurt) per day. Any bread/grain serving I eat is whole and/or multi grain and my intake of potatoes is almost nil. I occassionally have a baked potato but it is plain and a luxury. And I drink about a gallon of fluid a day, 3/4 of which is plain water. For my protein intake I have chicken, turkey, and fish mostly and I supplement it with nuts, eggs, and some pork.
I do drink coffee, maybe 2 cups per day with fat free sugar free coffee mate creamer. Hazelnut is my favorite flavor.
The food I miss most is dessert most notably chocolate cake. But my memory of how good it used to be to me is fading slowly and hopefully one day I'll stop missing it so much. My new favorite dessert is a yogurt smoothie that I make at home. Here it is:
fat free, sugar free vanilla yogurt
ice
skim milk
chocolate why protein powder
unsweetened cocoa powder
berries
almonds
oatmeal
That's some GOOD shit right there and very good for me. I like to have one after a hard workout or a long run (10K is a long run for me right now).
What else can I tell you? I'm an open book, I'd love to share any detail that can help someone out.
