HCB's Journal, 22 March 2018

Happy Almost Weekend, my Fantastic Followers:

Things are back on automatic pilot the last month or longer; logging daily, watching macros, exercising 4-5 days each week, drinking water, etc.

The Idiot Box is slowly moving down so the current plan is working for now.
Fat 70 grams or less, Protein 100 grams or more, and Carbs 50 grams or less. The calories tend to take care of themselves with these macros.

I also notice I have higher and lower days, and occasional carb-o-looza days...but overall it seems stable. I should be hitting the grid soon!

FOODS THAT FIGHT INFLAMMATION LISTED BELOW

Short Range Goals:

* Movement down on the Idiot Boxes while retaining muscle by year end 2018
* Bodyfat % reading with trainer in late MAY, 2018
* Drink at least 12-14 cups of fresh water daily - especially on gym days
* Continue HIIT mixed in with weight lifting four to five days a week
* Keep up the training notebook to achieve progressive overload

Long Range Goals: 2018/2019
*Bodyfat at 26% or less (Current 29.8%) by end 2018/early 2019
*Longer range body fat goal is 22% - which at my age is great!
*Maintain 160lbs staying under goal weight by end 2018/early 2019
*Increased strength, endurance and flexibility during workouts

Good for you--I'm also trying to get back to some sort of a routine.

Oh and thanks for the list!

Interesting, I had bell peppers on the list of nighshades that caused inflamation. Hmm. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@smprowett - that is interesting. I wonder if it has anything to do with color? Like red bell peppers vs. green bell peppers. I eat cooked peppers frequently for fiber and vitamins, and I also like them. They do not seem to bother me which is great!

I thought the same thing as SMprowett - basically all peppers, including chili peppers are on my list of nightshades. Really not sure if eliminating nightshades makes a difference with my inflammation that shows up in blood tests (not pain). But I haven't had any (other than mushrooms once in a stir fry) since January 1.

I wish I could see the entire list.

All peppers and standard potatoes are on the list of nightshade plants as well as tomatoes. Some people they bother, some they don’t. The Livestrong website has a good list and explanation.🙋🏻

Great list!

Wholefoodnut - to see the entire list, go to Google Images and type in "foods that fight inflammation".

thanks. There is a Mayo Clinic anti inflammation complete eating plan that is pretty interesting, it's actually also similar to the Mediterranean plan. My WOE is pretty close to both. Asthma, migraines, and arthritis are all inflammatory so for me I have paid attention to inflammatory, though I do eat tomatoes and other nightshades. Some not as much as I used to.

Thanks, Doobrie. I found this interesting as I’m allergic to a few on this list, but wanted to scan it like WFN! Thanks for posting HCB!🙋🏻

I am fortunate I do not react to nightshades - my biggest inflammatory is all the grains and flours made from them - wheat - even rice and corn if it is in foods. I can eat one ear of corn once in the while in summer...
