I am trying to decide what to do to keep me from eating things I shouldn't. The biggest factor in me eating what I want is that, at present, I am winning the weight loss contest at work. If I had someone on my heels or beating me I'm sure I would take better care to juice more. Second in my cheating is just wanting variety. Juice is juice, and while there are many ways to vary up the juice, it's still juice. So I am trying to come up with a game plan that allows me to eat solid food occasionally and not go overboard. I believe what is going to work best for me is juicing breakfast and lunch every day and eating solid food for the occasional dinner. I will still keep the dinner relatively healthy and try not to binge.
So for dinner today...
Plain Grilled chicken with steamed corn on the cob and "chips and salsa". I used uncooked mini sweet peppers as the chips. They worked pretty well. The salsa is basically pico de gallo: tomatoes, jalapeno, red onion, and cilantro with the juice of one lime.
If you look at the portions it may seem like a lot of food. I try to bulk up on the vegetables however because when you juice these things you notice how much you use. It's a lot more than you would tend to eat so I don't feel terrible eating less than I would normally juice.
So there you have it. Juice! Even if you fall off the wagon occasionally like I have, you will probably still lose weight and get healthier and when you do cheat it's likely to be not that bad really.
Side note: One thing I have noticed that will probably keep me from eating too much is that, when you start juicing typically your body flushes out all of the contaminants and food stuffs. Once you're on a steady juice diet, no contaminants or food stuffs. Eat solid food then start juicing again... you get the idea. ; )
