My "diet" for those who have asked. I don't follow a diet, because in my opinion many deprive your body of the nutrients it needs. My goals are as follows:
CARBOHYDRATE 25% macro, 99g daily (or as little as possible)
FAT 35% macro, 66g daily
PROTEIN 40% macro, 165g daily
Calories (kcal)-1650 (I strive for 1300-1400, but allow up to 1650)
Protein (g)-165
Carbohydrate (g)-99
Fiber (g)-25
Sugar (g)-25
Fat (g)-66
Saturated Fat (g)-15
Polyunsaturated Fat (g)-5
Monounsaturated Fat (g)-55
Cholesterol (mg)-250
Sodium (mg)-2000
Potassium (mg)-4700
All of these are relatively close to the "ideal" intake for an adult woman. My "diet" is centered around making sure I get the minimum daily intake of all the nutrients (and stay under the bad ones like unsat fat and sodium, etc.) I listed while within my calorie limit. I've made changes such as using almond, chickpea, and coconut flour as wheat flour substitutes. Learned to like fish, which I didn't before. Trade in boxed meals for home cooked ones 90% of the time. I've traded in lovely bread for 5g carb wraps, and 85% of my sugar intake is no longer from coca cola, but fruit in moderation instead. I eat larger portions of meat for the protein requirement, and have even researched and bought protein powder which I never thought I'd do.
So for those that were interested in my diet approach here you go. So far I've seen a drop from 65% carb macro to 35% (still trying), and an increase in protein from 12% to 20-25%. I get my polyunsat fat, fiber, and 1/2 of monounsat fat daily now and am working on lowering sodium count and upping potassium. These are my goals, a bit convoluted compared to some, sorry! I like working with numbers since it gives me something to do, and gives me a sense of accompliaent when they increase or decrease according to slight changes I make. Hope this made SOME sense.
