The trap
So after almost three years of writing down every bite, losing weight, gaining some, losing again. Stalling. Gaining a little and losing a lot again, i have had it with the writing down... But i am here to warn you that its a trap!
I have written down my food again for some days now, and finally got the courage to step back on the scale, and i was glad with the results. Not the 82 - lowest ever, but i did not expect that to be realistic. I been losing track of my food for some months now, just keeping tight to the basics: don't eat the fries, 200 grams of veggies, i should not have eaten that chocolate... But that just isn't enough for my highly efficient body.
Protein So i noticed right away, i was seriously lacking protein again. only 40-50 grams a day where it should be 73 without sports, but since i still work out on a daily basis it should be 100-120. The reason i fell for this lack-of-protein trap is because i almost alltogether stopped eating meat. i dislike beans, although i try to put some of them in my food every day. And my only protein came from the almost 1 liter of yoghurt-products. It was no wonder i was feeling exhausted, and was even losing strength in the gym... I was back to eating my muscles...
snacking I also got back to the serious illness of snacking. Although i still try to analyze what it is my body needs, i was back to unhealthy choices like chips and chocolate and cheese. where the right choices should have been, salt, caffein and healthy fats (like fish). I kept telling myself that what i eat standard in a day leaves sufficient room for a little snack, which is true (or else i would not have believed myself) but i have been grossly overrating the wiggling space, and underrating the snacks. Back on a leash with that one!
I have been freewheeling for a little while now, but it is time for the next phase. i allow myself 1800 kcal a day, reducing that number with 10 kcal a week. To a max of 1500 on a day with sports, and 1300 without sports.
Some people (like me) just cannot let go of the tracking system to track what i am eating and plan my meals ahead. I was afraid i would be doomed to doing this for the rest of my life, but after 6 months of freewheeling i am now quite sure i am one of those unfortunate people.
So ass back in gear, you will be seeing more of me in the future.
Love to all, Maud.
