I'm starting this journal to give me some accountability for what I eat and how I act about food.
Some facts about me:
I'm a 27 year old college student earning my master's in Applied Family and Child Studies. As of yesterday, I weighed 240lbs. Today, I started the USANA Reset. USANA is based off the blood sugar highs and lows that occur after eating high-glycemic foods. When your blood sugar drops, you get really hungry, and crave the high sugar foods. The foods that are high glycemic are ones that are typical in the American diet (white breads, refined flour, potatoes, and many others). The reset is basically to get your blood sugars stable, and to get you off the roller coaster. Damn, I'm starting to sound like an advertisment! LOL!
The reset is only for 5 days, with 3 shakes, 2 snack bars and one fruit and one veggie per day. I know it sounds crazy, but there is a TON of protein and fiber in these shakes to fill you up. I was so skeptical, but my friend who started me on this is an MD, and he's sold on it and is getting his patients started on it. His wife lost 4 pounds initially on the reset, and 20 total by following the USANA way of eating. Hopefully it will work for me!
So, for this journal, I'm hoping to track the food I eat, hold myself accountable for the goals that I set, and just have a place to vent sometimes.
