Metabolic profile with my Calorie Restriction
I took a Metabolic profile test only to find out what I already knew. I am a protein type. This certainly explains why I didn’t lose weight on the raw juice I was drinking every morning. To many carbs for me. I have to make sure I don’t over eat fruit, which I sure can do. I don’t think we need to take a Metabolic test to know if we have a carb or protein profile. I bet we already know which one we are. Grains, sugars, milk, and starchy foods always made me feel like crap but I ate them anyway and suffered. No more. I bet I could eat a very small amount now and be OK but I don’t want to.
I have not met a carb type yet. I sure would like to. I am thinking they might be vegetarians. If not they should be. I am wondering if they are protein types and don’t want to be. Being a vegaterain is very confusing to me. I can understand it somewhat if they are doing it because of their love of animals. I find the food very processed and not all that healthy. All the faux meats and processed grains sure doesn’t sound healthy to me. I understand buying organic and fresh but not organic and processed.
As far as Calorie Restriction goes it makes perfect sense to eat a lean piece of protein with a huge pile of raw organic greens. Very filling and very healthy. I top it off with a big bowl of blueberries. That is my dinner almost every night.
I have been wanting to eat only one meal a day. Dinner. I have almost gotten myself there. I have 2 tablespoons of flax seed that I grind and put into 1/2 cup of fresh Orange Juice each morning. I take a banana and a sliced apple to work along with 2 huge containers of tea. That is all I have during the day. Fruit is my choice because it passes through the stomach in 30 minutes so my body isn’t worn out digesting a heavy meal at lunch. I am not hungry when I get home but always have my protein source and raw veggies then blueberries. Always. I have never skipped dinner.
I have reduced my calories to 1000 for about 2 weeks with another 2 or 3 more to go. I want to lose the final 9 pounds. Late August I will start back to 1200-1300 a day. This doesn’t sound like much but it is to me. Even though I am not hungry at 1000 I would like to have something more sometimes. Not often and not everyday.
I was a little upset today when I was given some food at work that is not on my plan. Since it was eggplant I did eat about 40% of it, fishing out the huge garlic chunks. It was the bread that was the worst part. I pulled off a few pieces and ate them. I don’t think I upset anybody by not eating all of it. Hope not. The worst part is they know I don’t eat bread and garlic. Oh well, this doesn’t happen everyday and I survived although I suspect I smell of stinky garlic. The bread has attacked my tummy making it basketball shaped. If the scale has made a uturn I will be upset even more. Oh well, I will survive.
