I am essentially cutting my Caloric intake to no more than 1500 Calories per day. I am Eating Small Meals thru-out the day. I am eating lots of vegetables. Sweet Potatos, Tomatoes, Onions, Broccoli, Green Beans, Carrots, Asparagus, and Squash. Others are allowed of course. I am using Liquid Meal Replacements as Breakfast and Snacks. A minimum of one and maximum of three. Each of these are 170-180 Calories. So they can take up some of your daily calories but they can be a god send as well as they can are perfect sweet treats.
I have two full meals. The meals consist of either a bison patty or a chicken breast along with two or three veggies. Essentially I can eat whatever I like but its easiest to if I use my calories to fill myself up. One of the keys to the plan has been Sweet Potatoes. They have about 170 Calories for the large ones. And they fill you up.
So here is an example of a day on OctoberFast.
Breakfast
Liquid Meal Replacement- 170 Calories
Lunch
Chicken Breast- 270 Calories
Veggies 2 Cups - 100
Afternoon
Liquid Meal Replacement- 170 Calories
Dinner
8 oz Bison Patty- 340 Calories
Sweet potato 170 Calories
You'll Notice that this is only 1220 calories and I believe that you must at least consume 1300 to 1500. So this gives you a little play. Maybe you want a small salad with dressing. Maybe you want another shake. maybe you want some guacamole or even a small amount of cheese. Or some cottage cheese or sour cream. The main idea is to use VEGGIES as much as you can. Especially Sweet Potatoes and Carrots. They are filling.
Drink a lot of water.
In my next post I'll discuss the activity portion of OctoberFast.
