Starting tomorrow I am doing a combination Leptin Reset and Leaky Gut Rx. In short: ketogenic diet (less than 50 grams carb), no nightshades, no eggs.
Changes I will need to make from today:
*MOST of my calories and most of my carbs should be in the morning meal. Carbs need to be eating then, when cortisol levels are high. Calories start high, then taper off through the later meals.
*50 grams of protein, at least, at breakfast. Eat within 30 minutes of rising.
* All low glycemic veggies for carbs
* Start with 3 meals, decrease to 2 as hunger and cravings abate. (Thanks to a huge breakfast, this isn't hard!)
* Use coconut oil as my main fat source.

Bed at midnight (no reason...working, reading). Up at 9:30 am. 9.5 hours sleep.
1015 am 3 eggs and 2 oz shredded sirlion cooked in 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
616 calories at a 27:01:73 macronutrient breakdown (40 g Protein/ 1 g Carbs/ 50 g Fat)
Breakfast Supplements: 10,000 IU Vitamin D, 1 Tbs Carlson's Fish oil, digestive enzymes, probiotic enzymes
4 pm 1 kombucha (2 servings). Usually only have 1/2, but I was thirsty!
430 pm 2 Tablespoons raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar in 12 oz cold water
500 pm 2 oz raw kohlrabi as I prepped dinner. Large mug of Stinging Nettle tea (used 2 teabags).
645 pm Mug of bone broth. 6 oz orgasmically delicous organic, 100% grassfed top sirlion. 4 oz of onions, 2 oz beet greens, and 2 oz of kale cooked in 1 Tbs coconut oil. 4 oz roasted beets.
Dessert was 4 oz blackberries with 1/4 cup coconut milk because I entered my dinner into cron-o-meter and realized I needed more calories.
Well, that was the coconut milk.
The blackberries I ate because it's Mother's Day and because it was my weekend without my kids when I should have been celebrating my birthday. Since I gave up alcohol, chocolate, and men, the celebrating was different. I read half of Stephen King's new novel, bought an amazing silk shirt for way too much (but still 2/3 off at Nordstrom Rack) and ate some blackberries that were also orgasmically delicious. Seeing as I am man-free, this will have to do!
707 calories at a 33:20:47 macronutrient breakdown (57 g Protein/ 37 g Carbs/37 g Fat)

I'd only calculate protein grams, and then forget about the rest. No need to count calories (adding in berries with CM to up calories). Have 2 more eggs @ breakfast. 50g protein is MINIMUM recommendation ~ Aileen
ReplyDeleteHa ha. I just realized you are also doing it for CHO count. I eat so close to zero, I don't have to. But still, don't count calories. Count PRO, count CHO.
ReplyDeleteNo eggs! :) You said! and after reading everything, I agree! Yesterday was just eating sort of normal as I figured everything out and researched. This morning I had 51 grams of protein, so much better. Don't know if I could eat more! lol! It's going to hold me over until 'dinner' and 4 pm also! and yeah, counting CHO to try and keep it under 30 grams. Since cron-o-meter gives me all the counts, I'm just tracking them. Clients constantly ask how much fat I eat, so it'll be nice to not just give them a ball park figure. lol! As for counting calories...I'm not REALLY. I don't think. Or I'm doing backwards of what 'counting calories' normally implies, I guess is more like it. Pre-dessert I was at 1100 calories. I didn't want to be that low. So I ate more. I KNOW not to count or be concerned about eating too MANY calories...but shouldn't I make sure I'm not eating too FEW?
