WATER* - need lots of that
GREEN TEA** - good antioxidants and is a good appetite suppressant. Other tea is good too, but green is the best for diet.
NO SODA* - I can do this.
NO BREAD** - this one is killer. I was told one thing at a time, but I don't want to constantly be changing and adding to my diet. So as little as possible bread, pasta, and rice and probably potatoes.
NO RED MEAT*** - no burgers, steaks, or other beefy things. I have a fatty liver. So fish, chicken, and turkey is ideal. And I allow pork.
NATURAL FOODS as much as possible* - don't need expensive organic. But choose to cook at home. Instead of buying a jar of sauce, make my own sauce. A lot of this isn't just a health thing, but also a monetary thing. Restaurant food can cost 10 times more than home food.
* - requirement from myself
** - requirement from personal trainer
*** - requirement from Dr (GP)
I list these things because here on the first day, I'm having troubles finding a recipe that fulfils all my requirements. The hard thing is that I live with my parents. It's not that they don't support me, but they don't want to be on a diet. We are a family unit that eats together and tries to do as much as possible together. The dinners that come from this house are meals for the whole family. I can't make 2 separate meals- one for my parents that they want, and one for me that I need. Sure, I would love for us to go on a family diet, but it's not realistic for me to force my family to do something they don't want, especially when I'm the child, not the matron/matriarch. Maybe when I have a family on my own, but not now. So I'm at a loss for what to do in this diet situation.
I would love to go biking on this trail.
