Okay. This is what I'm going to do. I'm going to use the old system and give myself full fiber credit. And when I cook something super healthy (like the fresh fava, sprouted garbanzo, edamame saute I'm making tonight), I'm going to lean toward the low side of point attribution.
But I'm going to hold to a daily target of 20 points. I will use the weekly bonus 35 points for things like lunch with friends (Tomikawas on Saturday) and parties (Memorial day barbecue). And of course, cocktails (2 points for 1.5 oz shot of booze).
My goal is to lose some weight but also to jump start my way into healthier eating (quality and quantity). Here's the thing: I love healthy food. I can happily nosh on huge salads, whole grains, fruits and tons of veggies. Okay, I also love baked goods and fast food. But isn't the biggest challenge (for us all) figuring out how to eat well, sleep well and exercise, even when life gets busy and stressful?
