Many of you ask me what I eat for breakfast and what my daily food intake is now that I'm on my way to health and fitness. O.K., here's a typical day:
Breakfast: 1 scoop low carb protein with 8oz skim milk and 2 tblspns of flaxseed oil.
Midmorning: an orange, or a half a grapefruit, or a banana
Lunch: 2 oz lean protein with a handmade salad. Dressing is a tblspn of olive oil with either balsamic vinegar or fresh squeezed lemon.
Midafternoon snack: a bit of peanutbutter and honey on a flatbread and a fruit.
Dinner: 3 oz protein, dark leafy greens (hot or cold) and a green vegetable. Maybe a flatbread or 1/2pita (since I'm a breadaholic).
Beverages: I usually have a cup of coffee in the morning...or not. I drink a pitcher of green tea during the day, plus lots of fresh water and at dinnertime, either seltzer with fresh lemon/lime or water.
That's basically the plan.
Today, it is 29 days since my knee surgery and my wonderful and talented surgeon tells me I'm doing just great! We are going to add a minitrampolene to the mix and I'm bound for the elliptical machine! Today, I wore real shoes (2.5" heel) and so far, so good! Stairs are still a bit challenging but we both feel that within another 4 weeks, I might just be seen running again in the downtown area with my trusty dog, Sooki!
What's the secret to the success so far??? Acupuncture and laser for the knee, lots of physical therapy exercises that I do everyday, and proper diet.
Someone asked me today if it is true that acupuncture really works for diet. YES!!!! Acupuncture and herbal pills can stimulate thyroid function and boost the metabolism. It can help drain excess fluid, reduce appetitie and clear toxins from the body that trap fats in the body.
Call or email me if you are interested in my 12 week total health program for Fitness! It's worked quite well for many of my patients and can work for you too!!
