Happy to help if I can. My starting advice would be to focus on lean protein and lots of non-starchy veggies. Avoid foods that come in a package. Clean out your cabinets - get rid of anything that might lead you down a slippery slope. Stay hydrated and BE CONSISTENT.
Keep us posted on your progress. Track your food in a log on the site and I’ll be able to better help you through this process.
I posted this on my FB page today and I’m going to put it here for any first-rounders in case it might be helpful…
Some things to remember if you’re planning to start a New Year’s diet:
-
30 days of deprivation does not equal a lasting lifestyle change.
-
Start where you’re at not where you think you should be. If you’ve been eating completely off the rails then full on keto or carnivore is probably not the answer come January 1.
-
There are no “good” and/or “bad” foods and ALL foods can fit in a healthy diet - the devil is in the dose.
4.Find a diet/eating style that you enjoy. If you don’t enjoy something, you’ll have one hell of a time being consistent.
-
Choose a diet/eating style that improves your life and does not consume it.
-
You can eat all the kale, drink all the bone broth, take all the supplements and do all the yoga in the world - but if you don’t deal with the shit going on in your heart and head - you’re still unhealthy. There’s more to health than the physical stuff - this is important.
-
Remember that this whole journey is a marathon - not a sprint. Take it one day, one meal at a time. Don’t look back and don’t give up. You’ve got this and don’t you forget it!
