So I mentioned before that I was trying to eat 6 smalls meals a day instead of 3 larger ones. I wanted to give it some time before I commented on this new idea. Well, new to me idea.
Awesome! I have been very pleased with the results. After starting round 3 of Supreme 90, I decided I would try the meal plan since I wasn't seeing the results I wanted. Sure, I could see some toning taking place in my arms and legs, but I still had that blasted pooch in my stomach. I chalked that up to having two kids within 28 months. I was prepared to live with it.
One caveat here, I don't eat rice cakes. I don't find much nutritional value in them. I also find a few other substitutions for things I don't like, but they must be of equal nutritional value.
The meal plan does involve drinking a lot of water. I drink a lot already, but was having trouble meeting the recommended amounts and finding time to take care of my children between trips to the bathroom. I did have to cut back to my usual, but don't really feel any different.
I have lost 6 pounds since I started and the pooch that I have had as long as I remember is shrinking. Of course the intense ab workout may have something to do with that too. :) I am not really on a weight loss mission at this point. I just want to tone up and work on the jiggles.
I believe the key to all of this is more protein, portion control, and no refined sugar. I do let myself splurge a bit on the weekends, but it's usually something healthy I have made at home.
This type of eating does not leave you hungry because you are eating every 3 hours. I am not craving the sweets that I craved before. I have a mouth full of sweet teeth. Usually, right after I eat, I brush my teeth. That helps reduce what I crave. Plus, I just don't keep junk in the house. We don't need it. One thing I could improve on is more fish. I like it, but not all the time. I need to find some new recipes to try. If I find some good ones, I will post them.
