4 Hour Body: What I Miss

I’m closing in on 3 weeks of my 4 Hour Body plan and have been thinking about things I miss eating and drinking.

1. Milk
2. Pasta
3. Bread
4. Potatoes
5. Rice
6. Iced Coffee w/ milk or cream
7. Chocolate
8. Cheese

Amazingly I haven’t been hungry on the new diet, but I’ve had my share of cravings. Lucky for me, I cleaned (ate) all of this stuff out of the apartment before I started on 4HB because I knew I’d end up cheating. I’ve been keeping a list of cravings in an app on my iPhone and plan to take full advantage of Saturday’s cheat day since I’m not traveling this weekend.

I saw nice progress during week 1, but it dropped off last week and I’m not seeing much improvement this week either. This is surprising because I was out-of-town most of the first week and ate more off the diet for dinners than I have in the last two weeks. I think I’m going to cut back on my bean portions to see if I stay full throughout the day and hopefully it will help to shed a few more pounds. I’ve been doing my fair share of cardio because I want to get in better shape too, so I wonder if that’s having an impact on weight and fat loss.
