I had two 228.5 weigh-in's back to back before today's 229.5 Less peanuts more raw broccoli and apples this past week. I'm not worried about the 229.5 weigh-in today. I feel kind of bloated and gross at the moment. Like I need to exercise and binge on salad, which I'm going to do today instead of my normal Sunday rest day. A sauna session will help too.
And I guess that brings me to the main downside of my new diet. Yes, you can still have a cheat day and enjoy some pizza and cake with friends and family, but you'll notice your stomach doesn't feel good the next day. Nothing horrible, but you'll just notice feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Personally, I kind of like the physical push back; it makes me WANT to get back to the healthy stuff. It's not a matter of fighting hunger/taste cravings. You'll start wanting certain foods based on how they make you feel. I want the lead brick feeling in my gut to go away ASAP.
So maybe that's the main flaw of the diet below? If you eat out a lot, or frequently have dinners/potlucks with friends/family; you'll feel your body yelling at you the next day. But, on the other hand, I think this is how I used to feel all the time; I just didn't know it. The feeling of discomfort will make you want to go back to the healthy eating. It will win out over any cravings you might have for more cake/pizza. In other words, it kind of ruins it for you. Sort of like as you get older, you eventually find that the hangovers aren't worth the fun of drinking anymore. You lose that 20-something metabolism and can't handle the booze anymore.
No wonder people find Vegans so obnoxious. They're all happy and feeling good all the time. ANNOYING!!!!
