So seven years ago I tried Weight Watchers which did not work (well I didn't work because I am a point cheater). Then almost two years ago I found the Rice Diet. I bought The Rice Diet Renewal ebook. I became a Ricer. The book put me on a path to eating more brown rice, brown rice pasta (never knew there was such a thing) and I was watching my sugar and sodium intake. At first I was not eating anything that had sodium in it.
I changed my peanut butter.
Ate more beans.
Gave up soda the previous year.
Drank a lot more water & green tea.
Ate out at restaurants less.
The book made me more conscious of what, and why I was eating. When someone would come to a meeting with snacks to share, I would not eat them unless I was hungry. I made a vision board of all the things I will do more and enjoy more now that I am healthier.
I discovered to daily use more spices than salt and pepper. I began to feel sorry for people who used salt & pepper only.
I am not a big cook. In college I survived on hot dogs, frozen cheese steaks, pasta, and Ramon Noodles. I had a handful of pretzels for breakfast most days. So, I am still struggling a little bit with what to eat. I bought the Ricer Cookbook, but not much sounds too enticing or has too many steps. I need to find stuff that has taste, is easy to make, and is good for me.
So, is my quest to get in shape and lose weight for life and to get ready for the Amazing Race.
