I met w/a personal trainer on Thursday. For $50/month, I go in once a week to weigh in, get caliper-ed all over my body (!), and to get printed out meal plans with a weekly grocery list. Everything I eat is real, whole food. No packages, no frozen or freeze dried crap. things like chicken, broccoli, brown rice, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, bananas, etc.
Biggest thing is all I drink is water, tea, or coffee, although for the first couple weeks he said I can have 8-12 ounces of pop each day to wean me off...he told me the biggest challenge would actually be eating everything. And, he was right!
This is so counter-intuitive. I am eating every three hours five meals a day, and it feels like a ton of food! I just had a meal that included cottage cheese, broccoli, brown rice, sweet potatoes, and almonds. ugh I am so full.
How can I possibly lose weight eating so much??? I suppose bc it is whole food and not processed or fried junk?
