ZERO

My darling husband recorded a Dr. Oz episode he thought might interest me now that I'm trying to get fit.  The show featured  David Zinczenko who is the creator of the Zero Sugar Diet.  I'm going to cut to the chase and give ya the basics.

1. Your processed foods should have no added sugars.
2. ALL of your foods should have more fiber than actual sugar.  So 8 grams fiber w/ 4 grams of sugar.  Or a balance.  4 grams fiber w/ 4 grams of sugar.

This helps greatly since I'm keeping my calories under 1700 a day without issue now.  Not bad for a few weeks.  I've shrunk my stomach.  I can't gorge anymore without bloating so I've been avoiding doing that.  I broke my habit of eating when bored.  So now I can focus on more things like sugars/fibers/fat calories.  Might have to upgrade myfitnesspal app.  

One thing that works for me is that I like fresh foods.  I like vegetables more than fruits and veggies are lower in calories than most fruits.  Mainly I like the fact that steak isn't as fatty as they claim but I'm limiting it to once a week.

I'm learning so much by finally taking the time to invest in myself.  You should try it.

I may go swimming today but I really want to try that 'sweat my ass off while I do deep cleaning around the house' exercise today.  Hey, I lost a pound that way and my fridge is still spotless.
