I enjoyed not having to drink the fiber drink this morning. In it's place now is the probiotic capsules instead. This seemed to get some things "moving" today but not in a bad way. So far so good with everything. I have been hungry a lot but not too bad. I am OK during the day with eating but I get extremely hungry at night boot camps. It is the longest stretch I go without food (about 4 hours). My body is like "FEED ME!"
Ok so my food for the day
8:30am - Advocare Probiotic
9:00am - Advocare Meal Replacement shake (vanilla.....tasted like cake batter!)
10:45am - Slice of turkey meat and a plum
12:00pm - ~3oz Salmon and 1/4 cup kidney beans
3:30pm - Turkey sandwich on whole wheat with onions and AVOCADO (more about avocado below but avocados are a GREAT substitute for cheese on a sandwich. It has a lot of good fats, not saturated like cheese)
5:30 - Advocare Mocha Coffecino (not bad, reminded me of Starbuck's frappicino in the glass bottles. good to get in your coffee kick)
8:30pm - Ground Turkey meat with black beans (about 2 cups mixed together) and 2 cups of broccoli
9:00pm - a little bit more of the turkey black bean mixture (I was still hungry!)
Ok, so as you have seen from tonight and some of my past blogs, I'll go back after dinner and have a little more to eat whish is ok as long as you do it more than 2 hours before bedtime and it is a snack that does NOT CONSIST OF CARBS. Eat protein if you are hungry before bed. When you sleep, you use energy. And your body looks for energy is carb form first. If you stay away from carbs before bed, then your body burns fat while you sleep.
