I so much as look at junk food and I'll put on weight.
Nice work Sourdeez on getting yourself a scale, that's gonna help you keep track. Glad you've found something to motivate yourself (you wanting to move quicker in VR, that's awesome).
I struggle with sugar. I don't eat much junk food, I don't smoke cigarettes, I don't do "illicit" drugs (everyone takes an aspirin from time to time) and I rarely drink alcohol, but I am an absolute dickhead when it comes to flavored milk. It is my weakness, my one true bane.
I mentioned above in a previous post, but recently I spoke to my strength coach and she suggested that for the next four weeks, I'm to ignore my diet, instead attempting what's called an "instinctive diet". Basically, she wants me to eat when I feel hungry, as much as I want, regardless of the time of day, "eat to appetite".
However, I've been asked to eat only simple, whole foods. Nothing processed and as little sugar as possible, preferably none.
The choice of foods is good... lots of meats, vegetables, fruits, cheese, milk, bread, rice, pasta, nuts, berries, yogurt, oats etc. Some foods, such as full cream milk, obviously contain sugar, but it's not horrible amounts of sugar like typical flavored milk. Some foods I need to be careful with, e.g. pasta sauces and whatnot. Nothing "pre-cooked" (frozen meals you can buy from the super market).
So far I've almost done two weeks. I shamefully admit, I have had the dreaded flavored milk on the weekends, but I've minimized it to one, maybe two... not three to five. :/ Yeah, I was bad.
My body weight fluctuates randomly between 108kg to 114kg (238 - 251 Ibs). It's really weird.
At this stage, I don't care about my body weight as a number anymore. Honestly, I've almost lost interest in judo, at least the competition side of things, so nowadays my weight as a number isn't the concern, it's now my body fat as a number that I'm focusing on.
