my humour is pretty high-brow and cerebral.
Just kidding. A baby sneezed in my girlfriend’s face this morning and I was convulsing with laughter.
Cool log, by the way. I like to see diet logs. Training logs can be a little bog standard really.

Thanks. I wanted to do a log because I couldn’t find many examples of this diet anywhere. Other than another version of the diet that allows oils and some non-green veggies. My hope is this will help someone else get meal ideas if they decide to do it too.
Good stuff! I got a good laugh when my son peed on me when changing his diaper once.

Congratulations, it’s great to see someone pick a plan, implement it, see it through and then reap the rewards. Not only that, you have done it with style! Made it look delicious.
I think adding in some good quality carbs on training days would be fine. You have shown tremendous will power during this diet so can’t imagine you will go crazy and start eating very poorly. Could look at lowering protein or fats slightly to make room for them.
Well done.

Thank you! I appreciate the words of encouragement. Good point about lowering protein or fats. I’ve been eating fattier meats than I normally would. So, moving back towards leaner cuts should allow me to add some carbs back in. I haven’t been measuring food and tracking macros. So, I’ll just have to play with that to make sure I stay in a good range for me.

I’m really happy with the progress from this diet. However, I am glad that it’s almost done. I’m getting tired of my food. I still plan to continue eating well. But, it will be nice to bring in some variety.

Energy was pretty good after the first several days. I was used to taking a pre-workout or having caffeine. So, once I got used to not having that, I was ok. And I used Plazma most of the time. So, I’m sure that helped too!

Green Faces Diet DONE! April 24, 2017
Me: female, age: 44, 5’8"
Start Weight: 171.8lbs
Current Weight: 163.8
Total Lost: 8lbs*
- This is .4lbs UP from last Monday. But, I have been a bit backed up this week. So, I feel like another weight drop is forthcoming. A little bummed to not be able to see it this morning and report another lb. BUT…I know that I’m not done.
Non scale victories:
- My jeans sag
- my spandex dry-fit shorts that I wear under my gym shorts are loose in the waist and thighs
- my belly isn’t bloated and I no longer look 5 months prego
- my shoulders & arms are shaping up nicely (welcome back bicep vein)
- confidence and motivation are HIGH
This was a good start for me. I’ve learned a lot about my eating habits. I’m very aware now of all the mindless snacking that I used to do. (caving to every sweet craving after a meal, finishing something off my kids’ plates, etc.) I was very addicted to sweets, overused Splenda and constantly chewed sugar free gum. On this diet, I haven’t been hungry constantly like usual. I’m going to keep the veggie intake up (but obviously allow colors other than green!)
I’m going to complete the Hard Body Training for Women program. Started my 3rd week today. I’m going to be mindful of carb intake but allow them (especially peri workout).
I’m thinking about starting a new log for my next phase. I’ve found that even though most wont give a crap about me or my progress, in my own mind, I push myself harder in the gym and with my diet if I know anyone may be looking. I workout alone 98% of the time and live in a household where I’m the only one trying to be mindful of food intake. So, my log can be my gym & fit buddy. I’ll post the link to my new log if/when I start it.
Picked up a few things yesterday to kick off the end of the GFD:

Definitely keep logging.
And congratulations on the results. Hard work has paid off!
