Carbs Carbs Carbs....

It's been a little while since I wrote an update on the new lifestyle "diet" program.

I have been maintenaning the weight pretty good, just need to stabilize the meals and planning a little bit better. I do pretty good most of the time, but there are 2-3 days in a row where I don't make the wisest meal choices. I would like to improve on that.

I went to my weekly "check in" with the main nutritionist at Nu Energy yesterday.

She said while my weight may not be going up, it starts with the inches.
If I intake too many carbs, the inches will increase before the weight is put on.
Interesting information that I was not aware of...

My mission for the next 2 weeks is to track my daily intake of carbs, without changing my current eating habits, to see if I am eating too many.
I have not exactly put any additional poundage on YET, but I do feel a little bit "fluffier" than I thought I was before I started eating regular carbs again.

She also mentioned that I need to make sure I am getting enough protein (50 or more grams per day) to ensure that I don't lose my muscle.

That is why 1 supplement per day is good to continue.. unless I eat more carbs than I should, then I need to add 1-2 more supplements in the day.

Water is still an important key in this too..

So.. let's see what the results show in 2 weeks.

Happy 4th of July!!!!
