Day 83:Oh so sweet potatoes
I’m going to sticking to 3 meals and 2 snacks a day from now on which will help me lose the required weight to get that elusive 6 pack. It does show through at times… however I want it to be a bonified 6 pack that shows through at all times and to achieve that I need to lower my body fat percentage.
3 meals a day and 2 snacks a day should be enough: Breakfast, lunch and dinner as my 3 meals. For snacks I can eat mid-afternoon or early-afternoon depending on what time I eat lunch and just before I go to bed. I really believe eating before going to bed isn’t as bad as some people would have you believe. Your body needs some sort of nutrition as you sleep – after all you don’t want your body eating away at your muscles in the night for energy.
I had a dinner that resembled Shepherds Pie today – mince with tomato sauce from a jar topped with sweet mash potato. I did resist the urge to top it with cheese as the cheese we had is 25% saturated fat. I don’t normally stay away from natual products like cheese but in light of the required weight loss over the next 10 days or so… I think it’s important.
