Started this morning at 180.8 lbs — not a huge loss over yesterday (.2 lbs), but then again, I was a bit over-indulgent with the dark chocolate-covered almonds from Whole Foods last night (I ate about 35, and each one was amazingly tasty!). … Continue reading →

2011 New Year’s Resolution

Shawn Dunn — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 19:09:17 +0000

It been 7 weeks since I last weighed myself on November 14th, 2010. I was 162.0 lbs back then. This morning I weighed in at a hefty 183.8 lbs. So, my New Year’s resolution? Lose it…lose it all…by the end of March (our first vacation of the year). Is it going to be easy? YES. Were you expecting a different answer? I found out last year just how easy it is to lose weight — and without having to flex a single muscle. That’s not to say that it didn’t take a modicum of self control though. I simply cut out ALL sugar. That’s not just sweets and the stuff you pour into your coffee — it includes anything that converts to sugar as well — breads, pastas, grains, etc.

OK, I lied (but just a little) — I don’t consume more than 15g of sugar in a day. That’s roughly the amount in three itty-bitty sugar cubes. I’m no scientist, but it turns out that consuming sugar of any kind (yes, even the sugar found in fruit) ends up telling your body to store fat.

Cut out the sugar, and the fat will practically melt away before your eyes.

With regards to carbs, I don’t exceed 8 servings per day — a serving being 20 grams (22 grams is counted as 2 servings).
