I started the 4 hour body diet this week. Not because I want to loose weight but to give sugar and carbs the boot. When it comes to food I have a nasty habit of getting too busy to eat, especially around lunch time. I always eat breakfast and dinner but lunch is often a skip over which leads to chocolate or candy or bread or some other kind of carb and a roller coaster of short lived energy boosts.
Just into day two and I am enjoying a wonderful breakfast of eggs and beans and cabbage and turkey sausage. I am amazed at how this yummy healthy food does not fill me the way a bowl of cereal and apple slices does (my usual). I am in awe at the craving, low level but definitely a craving, for carbs. I was prepared for the sugar craving but not a general desire for bread and cereal, and so soon as well.
The kids are on board too! Although their diet changes are small. They can no longer have any sugar cereal or any treats of any kind. No cookies no sweets, no chocolate, no cupcakes, no ice cream!!
How did I get the kids on board with this you ask?
Binge Day!
The boys have seen my mom and her husband on this diet for months and they have been actually encouraging me to get on it as well so we can all enjoy the binge day, It's the day that makes it all work, it's the day I have been looking forward to since Sunday night ( I started the diet monday morning!)
Binge day means, every Saturday night we get to go to the grocery store and buy whatever junk we want and spend all day sunday eating everything we want to !!! I plan on starting with about 6 york peppermint paddys and bowl of ice cream.
