So after drinking a shit load of beers on Monday and waking up in the middle of the night and eating two slices of bread because it was the only thing in my fridge….. Tuesday was feeling a bit bloated. I started the day off with a salad instead of my usual oatmeal and by the time I was on the way to the studio I decided it was to be a carb free day.
I stopped at the grocery store and picked up a half a pound of turkey, a bag of baby carrots, and seltzer water. (Ok so carrots have a few carbs in them, but I only snacked on them a bit throughout the day eating maybe 15 total).
For dinner I had 8 ounces of sirloin steak mixed with steamed vegetables. To drink I had a few Jameson and Sodas.
The combination of no carbs and the fact that I didn’t sleep much the night before made for a very cranky day. But I’m happy to say that as of this morning, it was all worthwhile. I stepped on the scale first thing and was very happy with what I saw. And my stomach looks about as good as it’s ever looked.
The proverbial “beer belly” is often cause by an overdose on carbs, of which beer contains many. But so do many other things you can put into your mouth. Be careful with your carb intake, eat most of them early in the day, and every now and then take them away completely.
Keep your body guessing as if it were a beautiful woman you want to spend the rest of your life with. The second it loses interest it becomes fat.
