4 Hour Body Diet

Rather than a Daily Challenge today, I'm going to post the rules to the diet I will be following for the next 30 days.

"Slow-Carb Diet" from "4 Hour Body"
1. Eat nothing white, or that could be white (bread, pasta, cereal)
2. No fruit
3. No drinking calories (exception 2 glasses red wine per night are allowed)
4. Eat the same meals over and over (same thing for breakfast and lunch, I like to mix up my dinner)
5. One day per week, eat ANYTHING you want ALL day long.


Proteins
*Egg whites with 1–2 whole eggs for flavor (or, if organic, 2–5 whole eggs, including yolks)
*Chicken breast or thigh
*Black beans
*Beef (preferably grass-fed)
Pork
*Fish
Legumes
*Lentils (also called "dal" or "daal")
Pinto beans
Red beans
Soybeans
Vegetables
*Spinach
*Mixed vegetables (including broccoli, cauliflower, or any other cruciferous vegetables)
*Sauerkraut, kimchee Asparagus
Peas
Broccoli
Green beans

The author suggests taking one choice from each category at every meal, and has starred the choices that are most effective.

I am cooking with olive and coconut oil only, and eliminating all dairy (except eggs) as well.
