Did you also get rid of potatoes in your diet? I thinking of a nice 12 oz rib eye with a salad and skipping the potato. Does that sound right?
No, I didn’t! They are probably in the same class as bread, carb-wise.
Because I am engaged in a lengthy home remodel (”the vampire work-pig”, I call it) and have no kitchen, I eat out almost all the time. I eat lots of burgers, but when I do at a non-McDonald’s, I delete the bun. I am fanatical about eating breakfast, as well. And with that, I have hashbrowns, and they are probably not cooked all that healthily. With a steak, I proceed to a baked potato, loaded.
My 2 sentence diet is:
1: Delete bread and pasta.
2: The only fatal mistake is to skip breakfast.
Not eating breakfast means your metabolism doesn’t get started and in my completely non-scientific opinion, puts “your” (I am of course only talking about me) in a “hoard” mode where it doesn’t want to burn what it has stored and thinks you are going to starve it. Believe me, I am the last person on earth to be or get religious about a diet or tell anyone what or how to eat. I used to be 5 cups of coffee on an empty stomach before going into some kind of hypoglycemic shock state around 2 pm. I just can’t do that any more.
But I am convinced that bread is evil, and just trying not to eat any will lose you enough weight quickly enough to convince you that’s very probably “something there”. I’m fairly convinced that if you make a good faith effort to not eat bread and make no other changes, you might lose say 10 lbs in a month. Whether you’l look better or feel better or think better, I won’t posit.
