INTRODUCTION
![Page 3: Make Your Diet Your Own](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58e65ca51a28ab8d758b4aab/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
WHY THIS AND WHY NOW?
• I’ve struggled with with food all my life, but over the past 10 years it’s become a crisis.
• Popular diets are way too complicated, restrictive and generally un-livable long-term.
• Combining low-carb approaches works for me: Atkins, paleo, and Tim Ferriss’ slow-carb.
• This approach reframes dieting as a form of self-care, not punishment.• I am doing okay on this plan, and want to share what I’ve learned through
personal experience.

DISCLAIMER
• This presentation is only intended as a thought starter – you’ll need to build it out and customize it for yourself.
• I’ve avoided getting fancy with sauces and substitute breads, because I think these tend to stall progress.
• This presentation is not a substitute for medical advice.• Consider your pre-existing health condition before undertaking any diet or
exercise plan. You may wish to check with your doctor as well.• Everyone’s body is different. What works for me may not be right for you.

LET’S GET STARTED
![Page 6: Make Your Diet Your Own](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58e65ca51a28ab8d758b4aab/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
KEY PRINCIPLES
• Keep it simple.• Do what works for you.• Enjoy your food.• Eat healthy.• Do not go hungry. • Eat allowed food and drink anytime you want.
![Page 7: Make Your Diet Your Own](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58e65ca51a28ab8d758b4aab/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
HARNESS YOUR PSYCHOLOGYDO• Think of your diet as self-love.• Imagine yourself thin and gorgeous.• Cheat on your diet once a week.• Focus on getting better, not being
perfect.• Keep a food diary and weigh
yourself daily.
DON’T
• Sabotage your diet with rationalizations.
• Expect anyone else to do this for you.
• Trust restaurant food, ever. • Focus on your mistakes.• Talk about the diet to others.
![Page 8: Make Your Diet Your Own](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58e65ca51a28ab8d758b4aab/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
THREE UNPLEASANT REALITIES• Dieting takes focus, commitment and hard work.• This isn’t something you can delegate.• When your body is carrying too much weight, it puts your entire health
system at risk.
![Page 9: Make Your Diet Your Own](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58e65ca51a28ab8d758b4aab/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
THE MAIN IDEA
![Page 10: Make Your Diet Your Own](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58e65ca51a28ab8d758b4aab/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
HOW MANY CARBS?
• This is a low-carb diet. • To check a food, take the carbs and subtract the fiber. That's the real
number of carbs.• You eat a lot more than you think. Don't measure, but be careful.• If something has1-2 grams of carbs per serving, it should be considered
“safe.”
![Page 11: Make Your Diet Your Own](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58e65ca51a28ab8d758b4aab/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
DON’T TOUCH THIS (ON A DIET DAY)• Sugar is the worst offender by far. No sugar from any source. No fruit.
including tomato and avocado. No carrots. NO SPLENDA. Did I say that already? None.
• No cheese.• No store-bought sauces or salad dressings. It's all sugar and other crap.• No grain. Not even good grains, except the bran.
![Page 12: Make Your Diet Your Own](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58e65ca51a28ab8d758b4aab/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
GETTING PREPPED
![Page 13: Make Your Diet Your Own](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58e65ca51a28ab8d758b4aab/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
DAILY SURVIVAL FOODS
• Breakfast protein: To jumpstart your metabolism and feel fuller all day, 2 hardboiled eggs on waking.
• Wake-up coffee: Starbucks will give you coffee with pure heavy cream. Don’t use half and half, it has milk, which has a form of sugar.
• Fiber fill-up and intestinal health: All that protein can leave your bowels sluggish (sorry!). Have a cup of unprocessed wheat bran diluted with unsweetened almond milk, 1-2 times a day.
• Water, water everywhere: Keep it nearby, and cold. Drink a little bit at regular intervals.
• Soda substitute: Seltzer with a hint of lemon or lime, over ice, tastes just fine.
![Page 14: Make Your Diet Your Own](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58e65ca51a28ab8d758b4aab/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
BEST, BETTER, OKAY
• Best: chicken, fish, eggs (any style)• Better: beef (they feed it grain unless you buy grass fed so limit this)• Okay: protein substitutes, processed meat (limit this - use mainly for flavor -
it's bad for you)
![Page 15: Make Your Diet Your Own](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58e65ca51a28ab8d758b4aab/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
FLAVORFUL FLAVOR ADDS
• Dressing: Mustard, alone or with oil (mayo, grilled artichokes). Also olive oil, alone or with red wine vinegar
• Spices: Go crazy• Egg: A great batter for chicken• Unprocessed wheat bran: Use it as a coating for fritters (like mushroom
fritters)• Tehina: Very good on chicken and meat
![Page 16: Make Your Diet Your Own](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58e65ca51a28ab8d758b4aab/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
RESTAURANTS
• Low carb vegetables fried in oil and doused with soy sauce or mustard• Hot and sour soup• Salad with oil and vinegar• Omelet with egg only (watch them make it - no additional milk which is bad)
- and vegetables• Tunafish is dicey because who knows if there is added sugar• Plain broiled chicken, meat, burger, fish• Side of sautéed spinach, broccoli, you get the idea
![Page 17: Make Your Diet Your Own](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58e65ca51a28ab8d758b4aab/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
SUBSTITUTES
• Mushrooms for meat (less greasy)• Tofu shiratake noodles for pasta• Cauliflower for potato
![Page 18: Make Your Diet Your Own](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58e65ca51a28ab8d758b4aab/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
REFRIGERATOR
• Keep a section of food just for you• Make your food in advance• Salad in a mason jar stays fresh and is appealing. Get it at an arts & crafts
store or online. Get a wide mouth jar. Oil and vinegar on the bottom, pickles and heavy vegetables next, cut up meat or other protein, then chopped lettuce.
![Page 19: Make Your Diet Your Own](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58e65ca51a28ab8d758b4aab/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
KEEP IT IN CHECK
![Page 20: Make Your Diet Your Own](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58e65ca51a28ab8d758b4aab/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
CHECK YOUR PROGRESS DAILY• Weigh yourself and write that down• Note what you eat and drink – how much and what time of day• Keep track of any exercise as well
![Page 21: Make Your Diet Your Own](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58e65ca51a28ab8d758b4aab/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
ABOUT EXERCISE
• Get the food right first, worry about exercise second• Lifelong, aim for 2 hours of low impact exercise a day (walking, swimming) • Focus on small 15 min.-1/2 hour chunks• Walk places instead of driving
![Page 22: Make Your Diet Your Own](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58e65ca51a28ab8d758b4aab/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
