So my diet and exercise plan is working. The wii fit says I've lost 4
pounds since I started. I must admit it is much better than going to a
gym. Just to wake up, do around 20 minutes of cardio games and then
get dressed and go to work. As I am now conquering snacks I can safely
say that I feel full most of the time and am still losing weight. The
key is what I am eating for my snacks - sunflower seeds and low fat
beef jerky. Sunflower seeds are a great snack because they are high in
fiber- also I sometimes eat the shells - which makes your gut work
harder to digest, which keeps you regular, and they are
Low calorie - which means your body has to burn as much calories as
you eat. The same is true for the beef jerky except instead of fiber
it has protein - which fills you up and stregthens your muscles. Now I
am munching all day, which means my stomach is constantly processing,
but in a most efficient manner to where it needs energy from fat just
to burn the food. There is one other aspect - salt. It does raise
blood pressure, which is a concern, but it also makes you thirsty all
day, which means I am drinking lots of water, which means I am losing
some water weight as well. All in all these combinations seem to work.
If I loose 50 pounds I'll have to write a book. For now it looks like
I have almost conquered snacks.
