Diet...

I get a lot of questions on how have I managed to lose so much weight. I decided to address it here and lay it out for all to read.

First, this didn't happen on a few weeks or even months. It has been a two+ year journey. A journey that I have experimented with different tactics and found what works for me. This means that you should take the information and adjust them to your needs. We all process calories differently and have different needs.

I exercise 4-6 days per week. No exceptions unless I am ill or come to a point where I need a mental break. (That happens about once ever three months).

Daily diet:
Morning:
1 cup non-fat cottage cheese.
1 Tbs. raw honey.
1/4 cup special nuts. (these are pecans/almond/peanuts that are mixed with honey, raw sugar, cinnamon, and a little water. I pre make a batch once a week)

Mid morning: (this is if I am feeling hungry)
1/4 c. rice
1 soft boiled egg

Lunch:
Fish (This is either two poached tilapia, catfish, or whitefish)
1/2 c. rice
1/2c. wakame seaweed salad
1/2 c. vegetables

Mid Afternoon snack:
Fish
-ahi tuna in miso, rice vinegar, soy, raw sugar.
(I make a variation of ahi tuna poi about every three days and put it in a sealable container)
1c. seaweed salad.
**this is my snack whenever I feel like I need something to munch on**

Dinner:
Same as lunch.

Bedtime:
1c. non fat milk
1/2 c non fat yogurt with 1tsp honey

I also make a miso glaze that goes on everything that I want to give taste to.
Miso/Rice vinegar/sesame oil/salt/raw sugar.
I make about 8oz. and store it in the fridge.

That is it. I eat the same thing every day. It sounds boring, but I have learned to eat for nutrition and not to fill an emotional need.

I rarely break from this diet. When I have, the foods I ate made me physically ill. My whole body ached and I had trouble sleeping and was moody.

So there it is. If you have any questions, I would be happy to share.
