Blog Entry
I started spreading the word about this website, and I hope it is a source of motivation and at least a good reference point for starting a whole food plant based (wfpb) lifestyle.
This week has been interesting as I have reintroduced whole wheat in the form of whole wheat pitas. Previously my flat breads were made using almond and chickpea flour substitutes. I feel good about the effects after eating the bread, as my cravings to continue eating after a serving did not overwhelm me. I took this leap due to my success at eating right and losing weight with a very high carb meal plan (grains, fruits, starchy vegetables, and legumes almost every meal).
My workout regimen is still almost non-existent. I’m headed out to walk 18 holes this morning!
All and all it has been a good week with weight loss slowing a bit, but I need only to lose around two pounds a week. Great news my wife got her blood work back and all test markers are significantly lower!
The plan this week is to exercise at least five times and limit my animal product intake over the holiday. Talk to you all next week…
Video of the Week
There was a time when former President Bill Clinton was known for his less-than-healthy eating habits. But after undergoing heart surgery in 2004 and further complications in 2010, he was motivated to make a major change.
For the last few years, Clinton has adopted a vegan diet. Vegans keep to a strict diet that eschews all animal-derived products, including meat, eggs, and dairy. He credits this change with saving his life, helping him drop weight and be a better advocate for healthy-living campaigns — though he admits to indulging in a few fries now and then.
