First day of my diet

Well having found out a new diet plan I will be starting it today, I got up just 2 hours ago and aince then I have been making a nice blog to log all my progress. I have eaten an apple for breakfast and I am going to play some games soon after waking up my better half. I feel good this morning, although I know this diet will be hard to stick to as I am used to eating barely anything, I hope I will manage, now at least I can binge my heart out on fruit and veggies to my hearts content.

Soon I will be twig thin like this.



I can't wait, I currently gained like 4 Ibs because of my damn poor diet. I have decided to take on this new diet and I just hope if I stick to it, it will work.

Fruit


You may have heard that fruits aren’t the best to eat when following a weight loss plan because of their sugar content. While it’s true fruit contains fructose, a simple sugar that is easily converted to body fat, the benefits of eating fruit far outweigh their sugar content. Some fruits, however, are better than others in terms of their fructose content and overall nutritional value. The best fruits to include in your fruit and vegetable diet are:


  • strawberries
  • apples (green contain the least sugar)
  • blueberries
  • grapefruit
  • pears
  • oranges
  • boysenberries
  • papaya
  • cranberries (including cranberry juice)
  • blackberries
  • guavacantaloupe


The following fruits contain the most sugar and should be eaten less frequently:


  • grapes
  • bananas
  • dried fruit
  • coconut (also contains a fair amount of fat)
  • date
  • scanned and processed fruit


Vegtables


Vegetables, like fruits, are rich in nutrients. They have one main advantage over fruits: they are a complex carbohydrate. Your body doesn't convert complex carbohydrates into fat as easily as fructose (or simple sugars). Vegetables also tend to be lower in total calories than fruits so you can eat to your heart's content without any affect on your weight loss goals. Vegetables also lower your risk of various cancers and heart disease. Finally, like fruit, vegetables are best eaten raw or steamed (without oil or butter). Some vegetables are better than others. The best vegetables to incorporate in your fruit and vegetable diet are:


  • green beans
  • broccoli
  • carrots
  • mushrooms
  • celeryc
  • abbage
  • lettuce
  • onions
  • tomato
  • zucchini
  • turnip greens
  • turnips
  • artichokes
  • alfalfa sprouts
  • brussels sprouts
  • collard greens
  • leeks
  • eggplant
  • kale
  • okra
  • scallions
  • summer squash
  • spinach
This is my new diet.

I feel better already.
