The plan I am following is called The Belly Fat Cure by Jorge Cruise. It is a combination of Atkin's meets You On A Diet. It is very simple. Jorge points out that we eat too much sugar and carbs. So he came up with this ingeneously simple way to count those two factors.
The ratio is a simple 15/6. That represents 15 grams of sugar a day and 6 servings of Carbs. One serving of carbs is 5 to 20 grams. So if you eat 21 grams you now have eaten two servings. The 6 is servings for carbs and the 15 is grams of sugar. Simple?
That being said he does narrow things down some more. Meaning no sucralose(splenda) Aspertame (or Nutra-Sweet--I call it Nutra-death because in heated environments it can catalyized into free methanol). Something you really don't want to drink.
How did I find this wonderful answer. My wonderful wife found on sale at a local bookstore.
What I really like is that it is easy and I copy these little sheets that let me mark off my intake for the day.
So yesterday I ate the following:
BFst--Over easy egg-slice of American cheese, slice of ham, on a Food For Life Muffin
This was a 0/2--so no suger and two carbs (15 grams per slice on the muffin)
AM Snack--2 celery sticks (med size) with 1 tablespoon of creamcheese which is half a gram of sugar and therefore does not count so this was a 0/0.
Lunch--Chicken Ceasar Salad from Panera--No croutons for sides again 0/0
PM snack: Forgot the snack
Dinner-two soft tacos with chopped up tomato, small dolup of yogurt (sour cream replacement--less sugar), chedder cheese,
2/4. Lots of carbs in the soft taco's. I was hungry and they were fairly big.
So for the day 2/6 which is really low. I am trying to really watch my sugar intake and it is working. I am not as bloated and I am actually hungry.
This is working for me. I know that I am losing weight.
