It has been a while since I have put out an update. I have been camping for the last week. Camping was a major test for my metabolism and will power. I ate pretty well most of the time but indulged in some of my favourite camping snacks. I ate Smores, chocolate covered raisins, marshmallows, chips, popcorn and obviously had some beer. I came home expecting to have gained some weight but to my surprise I still weigh the same. I am pretty sure that my metabolism is working well and if I add in some regular cardiovascular exercise 3 times a week, I should be able to eat without concern of gaining weight forever.
I am going to continue eating well in terms of the Dr. Bernstein diet, meaning mostly lean meat and vegetables. I have grown to enjoy them more than my old favourites. I ate some McDonalds on the way home from my camping trip, 2 Filet-o-Fish and some fries, and absolutely felt horrible the rest of the night. The amount of fat and grease in the food was a complete shock to my system I think and I felt like I poisoned myself. I actually thought that I missed eating fast food but after that experience I know that it is not something I want in my life anymore. I will definitely avoid fast food from now on.
I am still doing my push up and sit up routine each week. I am coaching my son’s soccer team again this year which will get me running a couple nights a week. I also plan on doing some jogging 3 times a week in the morning.
Anyways, though I would throw up and update. There have been quite a few people who have contacted me regarding the Dr. Bernstein Diet who were doing it or considering doing it, I would love to hear from you guys. I am curious to see how you are doing.
Cheers.
