The Diet Begins
Like a couple of other bloggers, I was slightly over-served on New Years Eve, waking up about 10 am. Fortunately, I had no hangover. I felt so good, in fact, that I decided to do some housework, and I will be doing more today.
I didn't get out walking yesterday, thinking I would today, not thinking we'd get a thunderstorm of freezing rain. But I did get off to a good start on the diet. My wife made an exceptionally good batch of chili, and that was breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Turner Classic Movies played Casablanca, at 7 pm, always great to watch for the nth time.
My diet web site is up, too, where I will accumulate my results and experiences.
As I note briefly there, my diet is simply calorie counting, with an emphasis on a lowered fat intake. Actually, I typically average 35% calories from fat, reasonable, but I'd like to get that a little lower.
I'm not into fad diets like South Beach or supplements like Cortislim. There are some excellent web sites out there that discuss and debunk them. Losing weight, barring an unusual medical condition, is simply calories consumed vs calories burned. Fad diets can take this too far, creating harmful nutritional imbalances.
One day down, 364 to go.
