Progress Report
I know this makes for a boring blog post but as I've mentioned...this is serving as a journal just now. I've stuck to the plan for 4.5 days and lost 5 pounds..even though that is not the goal of the plan, it sure is a nice side effect.
I feel sure most of it was fluid but the anti-inflammatory effects also reduce the insulin production that causes your body to store more fat.
The last two nights have been easier than expected not to give in and take the easy way out. We went out with a friend to a favorite Pizza place of mine. Rafik was kind enough NOT to order my favorite pizza so I was able to ignore the croutons on my wood-roasted chicken salad and the bread.
Last night Rafik called wanting to bring home supper…he was suggesting burgers and Panera..etc. Surprisingly easy to say no. I did have corn tortillas with the enchiladas I made but the were whole corn.
I am really tired after a long week so I will be very lazy with supper tonight. There is a basic tofu chili recipe in the anti-inflammation guide. I am going to morph that into my own and see how it goes.
In case you are wondering why the sudden interest in tofu? It's an easy way to get low fat but super high protein.
I'll update you on the tofu chili this weekend!
