I've been eating vegan 5-6 days a week and have never felt better in my life. I'm interested to see if I ever make the leap to being fully vegan, or if I love food too much to give meat up entirely.
Don't really miss dairy at all, which is surprising. Every time I eat it I feel like shit and remind myself to be more careful. |
My only thought is might be better to just start at 1500 calories and stay there. If this is a lifestyle/habit change the few additional pounds lost first two weeks probably aren’t worth the stress/shock to system. Good luck whatever you do! Look forward to hearing how it goes.

I have found, however, that keeping a paper and pencil journal is more effective. It makes you really think about everything you consume and educates you on how to read labels. |

Here's my typical diet when I'm not drinking beer or out at a restaurant.
80 cal light and fit greek yogurt Turkey meat/turkey burgers, typically no bun. Make it a lettuce wrap. Brown rice Chicken breast (I'll use lemon pepper) Tilapia (Lemon pepper) Zero fat cheese Egg whites Green peppers broccoli frozen fruit that I add with my whey protein mix And that's pretty close to it. I'm a simple eater. I try to keep my daily macros around 50 fat, 200 carb, 150 protein And I keep my cals under 2,000 during the week because I know on the weekends I'm gonna eat and drink whatever I want. I personally think 1,100 cals is way too low for you SR. It's not going to be very sustainable. But just focus on eating foods that are high volume and low calories. |
We’re getting back in shape for Jamaica in June. Lost 25 lbs last year between Valentine’s Day and June 20. Cut my cals back to 2000 of good food and started running everyday. Then after Jamaica I gained 8 back. Now I’m back on the diet and running. My wife has meals delivered to the house. She can choose to have the lower cal meals which she does and it helps out with dinners.

maybe like 3 cans of soda a week / can with dinner; and usually it's a sugar free variety. though, sometimes I channel my inner RainMan and have a Dr. Pepper. beer..maybe like 12 beers a month. maybe more here and there, but I can count on 1 hand the times I've bought beer each month. if that makes sense. |
