I am well aware that we don't follow everything to a tee, but the way we are eating is very manageable and realistic for us to maintain. We would have continued that if we could afford alternatives, but it was ridiculous making 18 ingredient barbecue sauce and paying more than double for nitrate free ham. In our first month, we refused to consume anything with modified food starch. Slaw, stewed cinnamon apples, grilled pork chopsĪ die-hard Wheat Belly follower would critique those meals (corn chips, soy sauce, mayonnaise, etc). Salmon, roasted broccoli, honey glazed carrots Salmon croquettes (WB Cookbook) with roasted broccoli Zucchini noodles (stir fry or pasta replacement)
Stuffed peppers (with cream cheese and chicken or ground beef and tomatoes) We both agreed that we are not as successful this way and I have resumed cooking dinner six nights a week. For a few weeks, I was only cooking dinner a few nights a week and we would have leftovers or smoothies for dinner. Instead of planning meals for the week and going grocery shopping, I go to the grocery store and buy what's on sale, then go from there. Now that it has been a few months, we have some staple meals and go-to ingredients that we always keep handy. I found this to be incredibly expensive and exhausting. We have both lost over 30 lbs each in the past three months, without counting a single calorie.ĭuring the first month of Wheat Belly, I challenged myself to make a different dinner every night. Both Jesse and I began different exercise routines in May (P90X and 30 Day Shred) before beginning T25 together in late June. Our diet did not radically change until mid-May, when we strictly implemented the Wheat Belly way of eating. (I was also exclusively pumping for triplets at the time, so my boobs were huge!) I began my weight loss journey in January with the Super Foods challenge. I chose before pictures from January, which is when I was at my heaviest, even heavier than the day I delivered the trio. I finally made progress pictures of our weight loss. We completed the 5-week Alpha level and are in the middle of the 5-week Beta level. Though the videos are only 25 minutes, they are very fast-paced, high-intensity workouts. For the past eight weeks, Jesse and I have completed T25 workout videos every morning before the kids wake up. It seems misleading to contribute our progress through Wheat Belly alone, considering our exercise routine plays a large role in our weight loss. There are also days where we are less strict and end up eating a graham cracker or cup of popcorn. There are many days we refrain from processed foods, refined sugars, and grains 100% of the time. We probably follow Wheat Belly guidelines about 85% of the time. The good news is that lack of blogging doesn't mean we've completely fallen off the wagon. It's been a while since I've updated on our healthy eating and exercise.
