Zazen4Life's Journal, 20 April 2014

So it has been about a month since I started this. I actually weighed 305 or perhaps a bit more, I really didn't get on the scale the day I started. I might have been 310 which is my highest weight ever. I know I dropped 30 lbs in a month which is amazing. Of course, I had lots to lose which helped. I followed the low carb plan and very seldom ate more than 20 carbs. I often ate 10 which might be too low but it works and I feel fine. If it start to feel strange I do eat something with carbs in it….like a bit of rice. If I crave I drink a ton of water, eat a tablespoon of peanut butter and some hot peppers. It always works. I don't expect this rapid weight lose to continue but I do expect to lose 15 lbs a month. All this has been done without working out…..and I am starting to swim and do cardio next week, which will help. I won't stop until I weigh 189 which is what I weighed in high school.

Here is how I am doing it:
1. Eat 1,500 calories a day
2. Eat 20 Carbs or less a day
3. Never eat after 6:00 P.M.
4. Go to the store DAILY to get EXACTLY what I am eating for the day. I plan the menu BEFORE my day begins which is the biggest key for me.
5. If I get hungry ( which is seldom ) I drink water, coffee, or diet coke and the urge passes.
6. I am 100% committed , not 99%

I am NOT suggesting to anyone they follow this method. Everyone has to figure out what works for them and why. I do know the whole key is the mind and the discipline to keep your focus. IF you screw up just get right back on it the next day.

Best to All,

Andy
