This is not to lose weight! I don’t believe in “diets”! I know my body very well and this is what I think it needs. Yours could be VERY different to mine and as such, you should not eat exactly what I eat.The supplements, those you do need… maybe even at higher quantities.

Diet
At 7:30am I drank two liters of water. One with a Whey Protein Blend and another plain. I also took a Multivitamin and Multimineral Supplement, a Antioxidant Supplement, a Phytosterol Supplement, and an omega 3 supplement (essential fatty acids commonly found in fish). (71 calories)

At 8am I ate two eggs on fresh, homemade salsa:

These are my favorites whenever there’s fresh salsa. Please note, these started out as fresh, organic vegetables and were made into delicious salsa here. NO OIL IS ADDED AT ALL. Place a bed of salsa on a preheated pan. Cover surface completely. Let boil and stir a little bit. Let boil once again and add a little bit of water. Let boil again and crack and place eggs on top of salsa. Cover for 5 to 10 mins. They are delicious. Please note that I broke a few nutrition rules here: no drinking during a meal, eat carbs after protein – I drank the juice before the eggs, don’t mix fruits and vegetables – juice and salsa. But nothing too horrible. (246 calories)

At 1pm I ate a Chipotle Shrimp Salad from La Salsa:

I prepared my lunch and had it with me but my friend David (follow him on twitter and on blogspot) invited me out to lunch instead. He said he wanted La Salsa so I agreed. This goes to prove that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS HEALTHY EATING WHEN YOU EAT AT A RESTAURANT simply because the “chefs” who invent and/or prepare the foods hardly know about nutrition. Being that I’m eating healthier and I haven’t gotten vegetables because I haven’t gone to the grocery store, I ordered a salad. I asked if the Chipotle Shrimp Salad was good and the said “oh yea, it’s amazing.” I said great, I’ll have that. First, it is a HUGE salad. Second, it has some high glycemic index foods like corn and corn chip strips. I took out the corn chip strips and ate the rest. I also had 3/4 of a small cup or soda (which was probably two servings) and the chips they give you as an appetizer to eat while the food comes out. The salad alone has an incredible 799 calories! What made a bad meal were the chips, the soda, the large serving of avocado, and the corn kernels. But I did get a much needed intake of green vegetables which is almost enough to justify the meal. (1199 calories)

At 7:15pm I drank two liters of water. One with a Whey Protein Blend and another plain. I also took a Multivitamin and Multimineral Supplement, a Antioxidant Supplement, a Phytosterol Supplement, and an omega 3 supplement (essential fatty acids commonly found in fish). (71 calories)

At 7:30pm I ate four small tortilla quesadillas with A LOT of the homemade salsa. Each quesadilla consisted of a corn tortilla with about a half serving of mozzarella cheese. (357 calories)

I ate a total of 1944 calories. It could have been improved by removing the premeal chips and soda at lunch. I would keep the tortillas at my last meal because the body does need carbohydrates. And four small tortillas is probably borderline (but under) a carbohydrate load that would make this a meal with a high glycemic index.

    The good news is that slow and steady can win the race, as long as you are disciplined and continue making progress with the change. One trick is to slowly but surely start bringing in lower GI foods into your diet. Buy at least one item on your low glycemic index list and eliminate one item on your high glycemic list. In due course, you will find that it will become easier and easier to make the change you want. Your chances of success will greatly increase. Before you know it, you will be feeling better, healthier and more energetic about yourself.
