The biggest change in it for me is making sure that I have some sort of meat with my lunch and supper. At breakfast I have been relying on milk for protein. But at lunch and in the evening, I make sure that I have a piece of meat.
The only problem with this is that I don't like meat. I don't like to look at it, think about it, touch it. In all honesty, it really bugs me to think about eating flesh. I know that this food is provided by God for my health and well-being. I do not have a moral issue with it. I just think it's a little icky to eat flesh.
So, instead of dealing with raw meat, I bought frozen, already cooked chicken breasts and chicken strips. I also bought some frozen fish (it is raw). But because this stuff can be cooked from frozen, it is not as difficult for me to deal with and I just think about something else while I cook and eat it.
We all have our issues. And based on the results, I have to admit that it is worth it for me to find ways to deal with my issue. The loss for the week is 2 lbs. But in addition to that, I have realized that I had been basing most of my caloric intake around starchy carbohydrates and these drag me down and make me feel bad. They weigh me down in spirit. I don't think all carbs are bad, I think there must be some sort of appropriate balance for maintaining this spirit. I now have to figure out what that balance is.
