Today was my first full day of eating the Abascal Way. The reasons I chose this method are several. I agree with the idea of eating at regular times. I already eat many of the allowed foods - mostly I have to delete some foods like beef, dairy (ice cream, yeoch!) and sugar. I like the lack of measurements other than 1/3 protein to 2/3 other. I will miss my morning Nutribullet smoothie, but do understand the reasons why and am willing to forego for at least 5 weeks.
So, today I programmed my phone to alarm every three hours from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm and started the program. My goal for the day was to make it through one whole day without eating something off plan. Just for reference I have started every previous day with good intentions which usually last until around 4:00 pm.
Results and observations from day 1.
I made it! I followed the plan all day. Some observations. Was surprised to note I wanted to head to the kitchen about 1.5 hours after the breakfast meal. Noted that this was not from hunger but more from habit! The alarm thing is proving useful already! Noted that I was not always hungry most of the time when it was time to eat. Even took my evening meal and divided the portion in half because there just seemed to be too much to eat.
One disappointment was this evening just before my last snack, I measured my blood sugar and found it rather higher than I expected. I will have to wait for tomorrow morning to see any real result as that is when I usually measure blood sugar.
Overall, thus far I am pleased with the new eating plan.
