It’s been just over 4 weeks for my 30 day slow-carb experiment, with one more day to go. Overall, I have not been able to stick to the diet religiously but have used its basic principles (such as not drinking my calories and avoiding simple carbs) for nearly every single meal.
The original claim was “lose 20 pounds in 30 days”. I know this has not happened, but again, I did not follow it to a tee. However, I know that I ate healthier in the last month that I ever have in my life and have been cycling for at least 5 hours a week. I took pictures of myself before I started this 30 day experiment and I’m curious to see if there is a difference. Whether or not I share those photos is something I’ll have to think about.
I also got to try Wii Fit yesterday. It was awesome. Nintendo is brilliant. I think it has some real potential, if not for losing weight, then for increasing your balance, helping posture, and having a good time while you’re at it. Apparently the Wii balance board measured my BMI to be 23%, which is normal for my height/age, however based on my balance, it determined my Wii Fit age to be 36!! I was still getting used to how the board detects shifting weight and balance so I think I’ll have to redo that part.
I will be doing a full experiment recap after tomorrow but until then here are shots of some things I have been eating.
