Diet, take III.

[serinde]

I am now embarked on my third day of a radical diet plan called "eat fruit, veggies, whole grains, and lean meats". I know, I know--it's edgy. But it just might work. I'm using the extremely detailed FitDay to log all my intake, or at least as best I can; I defy anyone to come up with Official Nutrition Data for yoban, f'r instance.

These, my goals:

* keep between 1200 and 1500 kcal/day
* no more than 15% calorie intake from fat (this is proving a bit tricky)
* at least 65g of protein per day; simonb recommended to me twice the RDA, but I'm not sure I can do that and keep within my calorie limits
* aikido at least thrice a week
* exercise bike (we found one from like 1960 in Steve's mom's house, and it still works fine; I am hoping he remembered to load it) for a half-hour every morning

The initial observation is that I am fucking starving most of the time. That probably means it's going to work, as long as my will holds out. And it shall.

Kim had (has!) the same problem. She also noticed she felt a lot colder at night than normal.

Now that my cholesterol's back above 200 (and my LDL is 145, and since my last test, the evil doctor cabal has decided that 130 was too high a limit and 100 is more "realistic" or whatever), i'm gonna fix my bike this weekend and i'm gonna start riding it.
