Produce stickers & 4HB

One of the things that has always driven me NUTS about healthy eating is peeling those stupid stickers off of fruits and vegetables.  SO annoying!!!  A good reason to stick with my CSA and farmers markets.....  Am I alone here?  What I don't like about Farmer's Markets...... all cash and carrying everything with kids in tow.

I'm on the second day of The 4 hour Body Slow-Carb Diet (4HB)  and WOW, I'm loving it.  Seems too good to be true.  I follow 5 rules of what to avoid (no fruit is the toughest one) eat the same foods for 6 days a week and then binge on day 7.  Looks like I will be eating basically (all organic) eggs, beans, avocado, tomato, salad, asparagus, peas, carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, chicken, beef, fish and hummus for a while.  Totally fine with me.  On my 7th day I will eat a whole freakin wedge of triple cream brie by myself, burrata, 5 different kinds of chocolate cakes, and all the pasta my body can handle.

I hate being hungry.  I love to eat and feel full, so the fact that I can eat until I'm full and not a pre-portioned plate is extremely appealing to me.  This combo is really good for me and so far, I'm not feeling hungry between meals which are every 4 hours.  Also feeling a little more energy despite my lack of sleep last night thanks to the booby bandit.  I feel lighter and taller too, which is always a good thing.

Did I also mention that up to 2 glasses of red wine per night are not only allowed but encouraged!!??  We shall see if this is all too good to be true soon enough..... now I just have to pick the day of the week to go buck wild.... thinking maybe Friday since that night is our weekly family dinner and my mother in law can cook like nobody's business!  Pass the babaganoush right on over!
