Toni Bourlon's Journal, 07 February 2018

So, my new "diet miracle" book, Run for Abs, came in last night. It doesn't have a mealplan so much as guidelines for what should be in every meal: lean protein, resistant starches, "slimming" fats, fermented foods, and spices/green tea. And it also has a number of recipes, some of which look mighty tasty. But inevitably, any kind of diet plan is going to include foods that I really don't like - in this case, avacados. I mean, LOTS of avacados. Now, I don't know if I hate avacados with the same level as I hate onions (which truly make me gag; I can't even swallow them!), but I really don't like them. And naturally, I'm already thinking of things I could potentially substitute for the avacados. They are listed as a "slimming" monosaturated fat, but there are other such fats, so.... But I really need to try this diet; I spent the money on the book, so how dumb would it be to NOT follow the directions? I'll only know if this plan will work IF I actually TRY the plan, correct? So, starting Sunday I'll stick as closely to the plan as possible, green tea & all (yeah, that's another thing I'm not crazy about). The first week I will start with the recipes that I'm sure I'll like, and add a few avacados to get me adjusted to them. There's also an exercise component (naturally); more on that later.
