For dinner saturday, I had some nacho sald without nachos, so just ground beef lettuce, cheese & salsa, along with 2 turkey burger patties. I also drank again . . about 6 rum and diet cokes. Had one beer earlier in the day as well. I know something has to be done about the drinking . . Got 3 parties to go to in the next 2 weekends though. Gonna have to work something out, at least until Halloween. After that it will be much easier.
Food looks good, but you drank way too much. Don't have any cheat meals this week. Ideally you want your first 2-3 weeks to be completely cheat-free (if you want optimum rate of fat loss and the fastest transition onto a low carb diet) but people find this hard to do. if you want to lose fat the fastest way AND feel good doing it though, you'll cut out the alcohol. up to you - you'll still lose fat the way you're doing things but it will be slower.
Next day, slept past breakfast! For lunch, some boiled codfish & cabbage (portguese dish), and tried some squid in a redish spicey sauce. Not sure what was in the sauce . . not too worried about it though. I snacked on nuts, cheese, and lunchmeat all day . . Just picking here and there.
NEVER sleep past breakfast. If you do, eat something as soon as you get up. Breakfast is THE most important meal for losing fat successfully.
For dinner I had an omelette with slices of chourica in it, with cheese on top, and a 6 Buffalo Wing. I don't feel good about that . . It seems to good to be true, to be able to eat Buffalo Wings, and I feel like I was using this diet as an excuse to eat junk. This could all be in my head but I did not feel like I ate "healthy" . . Plus, who the hell knows what these restaruants put in their sauces . .
Sounds good. You need to decondition yourself from conventional wisdom which says that fatty foods (wings) are bad for you. Remember that conventional wisdom has produced a society where the majority of people are overweight and/or unhealthy, have screwed up hormones and diabetes, heart disease and obesity are unfortunately becoming more common. Don't feel guilty. If you're worried about restaurant sauces, ask if the particular dish is low-carb or suitable for diabetics, most restaurants have those options now.
- What is in Tomato Sauces? Is this fair game?
If it's tomatoes and seasoning, it's fine. If it's first ingredient is sugar, then it's not, so check the labels. You can get low-carb and sugarfree ketchups too. Or just make your own tomato sauce, it's really easy.
- I got some Diet Green Tea, but it has high fructose corn syrup . . No good?
High fructose corn syrup is a killer, one of the absolute worst things you can eat/drink. No good at all. Buy zero calorie bottled drinks or don't buy them at all.
- When something has "sugar" in the ingredients, is it off limits? Even the beef jerkey I looked at yesterday had sugar in it. Seems very hard to avoid.
Pretty much, yes, it's off limits - especially at your weight and with your drinking. But if we're talking about less than a gram of sugar per serving, you're okay. check the labels!
- Is there a good shake recipe, or pre-made thing I could buy like Slimfast, that would be good for a quick lunch at work every day?
You can buy zero or low carb protein powders but honestly, in your case I'd get in as much solid food as possible. Or, if you absolutely MUST (and it's best if you didn't), have a smaller solid lunch and a small liquid meal alongside it. Make your food ahead of time if necessary and take it to work with you, warm it up in the microwave or just get something that tastes good cold.[/QUOTE]
Lastly, 7-keto is a decent fat loss pill but it will not make you lose weight any quicker or better. It's really for people who are lean and trying to get leaner. In your case you won't notice a shred of difference.
You're doing well, keep it up!
