With Thanksgiving, then Christmas and New Years Eve, I lost complete control over my food consumption for quite awhile. And you know what? I fell okay with that. Had I been restricted on what I ate and drank because of medical or health reasons that would have been a different story. However, as bad as I feel for getting away from health conscious eating, I feel particulary lucky for my current health and completely support and sympathize with those of you who need to pay especially close attention to a daily eating regimen.
So everyone, and particularly those who do need to follow a special diet, please consult with your health care provider before participating in any diet or meal planning program.
As many of you may know, I currently practice a calorie restrictive diet/meal plan. This is not to say that other diet/meal plans don't work. This is however, the most familiar and convenient way for me to eat healthy and sustain a comfortable weight. In other words, it works for me.
Now this program usually takes into consideration a reduction of caloric intake based on your eating and drinking consumption history. With the holidays and no real thought into managing my weight, an accurate caloric breakdown per day was fairly impossible. Those numbers were so skewed that I would just have to just throw them out the window anyway. So based on previous good monotoring history I have begun my plan based on a twelve hundred calorie per day schedule. This is a number which I have arrived at after years of previous history and is not intended as a benchmark for anyone reading this post. Also, we will be covering the very real and very crucial topics of Macro and Micro Nutrienst and the proper values of proteins, carbohydrates and fats in your diet.
The reason I am sharing this is to make future sense of why my meal planning and frequency is as such and why it works for me.
I hope you enjoy me future posts that go much more in depth into meal planning for success and remember that:
A plan that cannot be changed is a bad plan!
