Steve and I are reading the book "Eat to Live" by Joel Fuhrman. It's way good and we'd recommend it. I'll be writing the highlights on this blog.
-Health=Nutrients/Calories
- We have a natural sweet tooth- it is should be fulfilled through fruit.
- Compared with whole wheat, typical pasta and bread and bagels are missing:
- 62% of zinc
-72% of magnesium
-95% of vitamin E
-50 % of folic acid
-72% of chromium
-78% of vitamin B6
-78% of fiber
Pasta should be eaten as little as sweets. I've been fooled by the "whole wheat pasta" at the grocery store… they put a tiny bit of whole wheat in it so they can claim whole wheat. If you want real whole grain pastas and bean pastas, you'll have to get them at a health food store. I want to try them. Bagels that claim their whole wheat Dr. Fuhrman says they just have a "fake tan" by giving it caramel color… haha…
-This is cool. The more nutrient filled foods you eat, the fuller you'll feel sooner and longer. You should never be hungry. If you're hungry, you're probably eating the wrong foods.
-Dr. Fuhrman compares letting your children eat unhealthy is like letting a child smoke. They're both going to give them an awful and short life.
Starting weight= 157 lbs
Goal weight= 145-150 lbs
Strength goal- Do sprint triathlon in 2 hrs 20 min between April-June
Weekly points= 164 points
Weight lost= 6 lbs (60 points)
Total points=224 points
Yesterday I decided that I'd have my "treat day". I ate a few Andes mints, a fun size Almond Joy and a few mini Reece's PB… and honestly they didn't taste good. What's happened to me?! The healthy treats taste SO much better… and I don't lose 5 points! And I felt icky after I ate them.
So, let's see who beat me!
See you at 8:30pm MST tonight!
