I have decided to go back to my old strategy of cutting out the grains and beans so I can get over this hump. As far as I am concerned, winter is over! I think I have gotten foods such as soups, stews, chili, etc. out of my system for awhile. Even though the grains were fiber filled whole wheat, whole grains including the steel cut oatmeal and natural rolled oats, I feel they are slowing me down. Beans are very healthy with nutrients and fiber but loaded with "weighing down" carbs.
Love the spring/summer when I get out more. The freshest and best low carb foods are more available. Low carb veggies and a bit of fruit are my "go to". I actually like salads when its warmer but don't want them in cold weather.
My plan is to keep my protein grams around the 70s. I try to keep under 25 grams of protein each meal because research (MSN health site) has shown anything over 30 grams is converted to fat for storage. I have enough in storage! The 70s has worked best for me in the past. Would like to keep my carb grams under 15 per meal. As always, I try to keep sugar under 50. Of course, only healthy fats. I am going to try really hard not to be so concerned about fat grams as long as they are healthy fats from small portions of seeds, nuts, olive oil, coconut oil, natural lean protein foods, and portion controlled dairy. So long I have thought of all fat as the enemy, to be avoided or kept under the 35% range of that food pie chart. I need to stay under my RDI. FS shows my RDI as 1400 but it is high compared to some other sites. Compromising at around 1200 to 1300 depending on future results.
Please wish me luck! I really want to celebrate reaching my next goal with a major Happy Dance!
