So, you know when surprise visitors throw a wrench in your system?? Well, a long time friend I don't see very often wanted to hang out yesterday, so I didn't get to work out. However, I did eat well, and I'm definitely committed to trying the zig zag thing today. Here's how it REALLY works (they don't really go into it until like page 250 of the book *facepalm*):
Days 1-3: eat the following for your meals:
Breakfasts (2 of them):
lean protein (like eggs or lean meat)
simple carb (like fruit)
complex carb (like oatmeal)
Lunch:
lean protein (like grilled chicken)
complex carb (like whole wheat bread)
fibrous carb (like salad or broccoli)
Dinners (2 of them):
Lean protein (like fish)
fibrous carb (like salad)
[the idea here is that your last two meals are low carb for your low days, then on the 4th day, you have a 'high' day, where you get to add complex carbs to the last two meals to refuel your glycogen stores and trick your body into not going into starvation mode]
Since I didn't get to that chapter until last night, I thought zig zagging only had to do with total calorie reduction, but now that I know the secret, I can't wait to try it out! Also, I've been itching to work out since yesterday, so I'm super pumped for today!
