Since January, I’ve been pretty disciplined about eating a hearty breakfast every morning. Since reading this blog post (based on Tim Ferriss’s 4 Hour Body) on eating 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up, I thought I’d try it out. The overarching principles of this “slow carb” diet include the following:
- Avoid “white carbohydrates”: bread, rice, potatoes, cereal, and any other carbs in these categories
- Eat the same few meals over and over again
- Don’t drink calories: stick mostly to water and unsweetened tea/coffee
- Don’t eat fruit (I like this because I’m allergic to most)
- Take one day off per week (eat whatever)
