1. Start each meal with a soup or salad. YES for most meals this week
2. Follow the 50/50 plate method, ½ starch and ½ vegetables. YES.
3. Reduce or eliminate added sugars and salts. YES
4. Eliminate all animal foods. NO
5. Eliminate all higher fat plant foods. NO nuts are still around.
6. Eliminate any added oil. YES except when eating in restaurants.
7. Eliminate all higher calorie dense foods. YES, finally had a week without bread
8. Don’t drink your calories. YES
9. Follow these principles whenever you are hungry until you are comfortably full. Really don’t know if I did this or not. But tried to stay on 3 meals day.
10. Avoid being sedentary. YES
I didn’t report for the last 2 weeks. I have plenty of excuses: stress around apartment problems, extra babysitting, too many social events, but actually when I find myself going down the slippery slope of the pleasure trap I get distracted from participating. Luckily, my commitment to the group and this way of life (developed by my hero John McDougall) always brings me back. So here I am again with a few pounds gained but fortunately on my way back to a fairly adherent MWL plan.
I have read all your answers to Mark’s profound questions and have found them a great source of inspiration. I would like to think on them further.
Wishing everyone a great adherent week.
