Day 4 on Tim Ferriss diet

Hi Guys!

Today I weight myself and I already lost 1 kg (2.2 lbs) since Friday (so 5 days) . I started on Sunday. But I will put in the blog (on the right column) the weight of Fridays to me more regular.

This diet reminds me of the Margaret Thatcher diet I did many years ago, see it here .The main difference I think its the beans :P , she could even drink alcohol like Tim. Funny.

I was wondering, doesn't the wine has fructose because of the grapes? I wish I could drink a bit of Pepsi, I am not a big fan of wine, but I love a small glass of Pepsi before dinner.

Different tastes! :)

Day 3 on Tim Ferriss Diet

Hi Guys!

I hope you are going fine with your diet. Its been really great since I don't fell any hungry.

I have a bit of a doubt about tomatoes and lemons. 

Tim wrote in the book about tomatoes, but I am afraid lemons are included in fruit. I suspect they have a bit of fructose. 

According to this it has about 2 gr of sugar(of total 9) for 100gr. I used just some drops on the Picco de Gallo, but I have to investigate more if its ok or no. 

About the tomato it has less than lemon (3 gr) I think is ok to eat more that 1 per day. 

The thing about lemon is that I read some articles about monossodium glutamate (that increases the appetite in 40%) and one of the hidden names that is mentioned for msg is citric acid. Its not really the same thing but it make me think.


Breakfast:

  • 2 eggs + 1 white egg (all scrambled with olive oil and salt)
  • beans
Lunch:
  • Salmon (110 gr)
  • Chick Peas (80 gr)
  • Smashed Brocolis (150 gr)
Snacks:

Dinner:

  • Beef with tomato, onions and olive oil
  • Smashed Brocolis
  • kidney beans
After Dinner:

  • 5 walnuts
Lunch:
  • Chicken (100 gr) in a pan with olive oil,butter and some herbs, salt 
  • Green onions
  • Rocket
  • Chickpeas (100 gr)

I drink a lot of Jasmine tea during the day
