Day 1: One week of breakfast
Today is my first day officially into the Slow Carb Diet prescribed by The 4-Hour Body. I’ve already lost about 15 lbs. since October by simply cutting all grain from my diet, but the Slow Carb Diet has a lot of appeal to me (and isn’t that different from what I’m already doing) so it’s definitely worth some of my time and attention.
One of the main recommendations requires me to have a high-protein breakfast within 30 minutes of waking, which is something I haven’t done in a long time, so I’m using this week to get started on a regular breakfast routine. While I’m sure that most of my other meals will be slow-carb as well (lots of protein, greens, and legumes) I’m only going to hold myself strictly to the breakfast requirement for the first week, because changing one habit at a time is usually easier.
Once I’ve become accustomed to eating breakfast again, I’ll start to pay more attention to the rest of the day, and add some exercise back into my routine.
