True to Type

This 20:20:20 business....it is ON.

I have dug out the details on the different metabolic eating types and I re-did the questionaire. (This is the work of Paul Chek and William Wollcott, for anyone who wants to Google.)

I am a "mixed" type. Definately.

However, I have always been advised to eat to a protein type, as this is a faster way to lose weight.

Problem is, I find it virtually impossible to stick to a protein type diet, even in the short term.

So it is only actually faster if you can actually stick to it. Which I can't.

(The thought of all those effing egg whites again and all that tuna.....no no no no no. It makes me want to run and hide in a can of Pringles.)

SO, I am going to eat as a mixed type. I am going to stay true to type.

The deal with food, for me, then, is this:

1200 Calories per day

This is made up of:

10% Fat
40% Protein
50% Carbs

Which equates to:

13.3g of fat only
120g protein
150g carbs

I have reset my Calorie King to reflect this.

(Interestingly it is the first time I have been into Calorie King for what feels like forever. I last recorded my weight on there last November: 6 months ago. I have maintained my weight since then. Phew)

I have pre-planned todays food and tracked it already.

I need to up my daily water guzzling habits.
