Filling the Craving

I am going to miss a lot of foods during the next 10 weeks. I brought some candy that Jen got for Christmas to work and left it on the table so people can eat it. My diet in the coming weeks will consist of fruit for breakfast, baked chicken breast with veggies for lunch and dinner. I am going to try and do as many raw foods as possible because they make you feel much fuller since they have more water in them, plus you get tired of unseasoned food and you tend to eat less.

My plan is to try and eat around 1200 calories per day and burn 1000 to 1500 calories per day in cardio alone. Hopefully I will burn closer to 2000 calories and this will make my body burn any stored fat. I'll post my weight every day if possible as well as my total calories burned and calories consumed. Why do I want to limit my calorie intake? To shrink my stomach (or trick my body into thinking I am fuller on smaller meals). It usually takes me around two weeks to accomplish this.

My goal is to not eat any sugar (except in fruits) and limit the amount of carbohydrates. Sugars and Carbohydrates raise the glucose level in the body. The body must in turn make more insulin to balance out the rising glucose levels. Insulin inhibits the production of fat-burning enzymes, preventing your body's fat cells from releasing their fat. It forces your body to use the glucose first before burning fat. This stops your body from burning your stored fat and makes it impossible for you to lose the weight you have put on.

I have been doing a good cardio routine the past few weeks so it won't be hard to achieve my cardio goals, so all I will really be changing is my diet, which should make it easy to lose the weight.
