Jenny's "Real Food Diet"
Based on concepts from Flat Belly, Abs diet, whole foods experimentation, Atkins, and experience:
No-No's:
1. NO wheat based breads (hard to digest)
2. NO refined sugars (hard to digest)
Food Sources:
1. PROTEIN: Lean meat and eggs (eggs for breakfast, meat for dinner)
2. PRODUCE: Vegetables and fruits (frozen fruit sorbet every day!)
3. GRAINS: Gluten Free English muffins, breads, tortillas
Substitute Sweeteners:
Stevia/truvia OK. No splenda/aspertame (my body always anticipates a sugar kick and then feels sucky when it doesn't get one)
The Basic Idea: I can't really survive on an Atkins diet (I feel lousy on it). However, I think the reason Atkins works is because a) Americans eat too much refined sugar and b) we eat too much bread. Nix breads and refined sugars and add lots of protein to your diet and you basically have the "good" side of Atkins. It's my belief that fruits, vegetables, and whole grain rice can't make you fat.
