Heidi's Check-In
Posted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 12:50 pm
Hi all. I just discovered Reinhard's No-S-Diet yesterday....freakin' brilliant!!!
Today's my first official day. I don't need to lose weight necessarily, though I wouldn't mind losing about 5lbs because my jeans have gotten tighter lately. I generally eat very healthy (3 meals a day and don't eat after 8pm...when I'm being good) and try to stick to a plant-based diet because it has an affect on my whole life: I seem to need less sleep, find it easier to get out of bed in the morning, don't have allergies, and I have more energy.
I have had the occasional binge-fests lately (hence the tight fitting jeans). I'm an all or nothing girl and when I'm bad, I can out do even my husband. That's why I need to find balance.
I gave up alcohol back in May 2010. Was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
A few facts about me:
I'm a make-it-from-scratch health-conscious veganesque type who rarely if ever eats processed vegan foods.
I'd happily consume fish, but mercury contamination inhibits me.
Meat and dairy products no longer appeal to me at all (though they used to be a constant in my "diet"), so it's not a matter of denying myself these foods.
I don't eat soy products (soybeans, tofu, soymilk, etc. etc.) because unfermented soy robs your body of iron and can make you anemic. I suspect that is actually why vegans can become anemic.
I eat a LOT of beans because they're good for you.
I regularly eat nuts and avocados for some good healthy fat and satiety. I occasionally enjoy greasy kettle chips too!
I love to bake. That's why I need the No-S-Diet!
