I just started CR yesterday. I've read the Anti-Aging Plan and The Longevity Diet, and I've decided to do the rapid reorientation, as I'm way too impatient to log in three to seven days of calories to find an average.
My first "CR" dinner was not a big hit. My 6 yr old son is now fighting me on it. I made the moussaka recipe from the AntiAging Plan book. I can see that there's definitely going to be an adjustment period.
My BF is totally on board for whatever I need to do, so that's good to have the support. He wants to be healthy too. BUT...when it comes down to what we really need to do to live the lifestyle, I don't think he's got the guts! LOL. We'll see....
I didn't get hungry til about 11am, and I had 2 cups raw broccoli slaw mix, w/ 2 tb goddess dressing. My 2 yr old was loving it and kept coming back for more when I shared bites w/ him. Then I got hungry again at around 2 and made a smoothie from fresh strawberries, frozen unsweetened peaches, plain low fat yogurt, and light chocolate soymilk. Again, my 2 yr old son loved it and I had to share. Then the moussaka.....I haven't tried it yet, dinner's coming up. We'll see....
I'm using the CRON-o-meter for keeping track and so far I've stayed within 1700-1900 calories, with deficiencies in Vitamin D. I'm working on getting more.
Well, that's it for the first post. What do you guys like for breakfast? I hate breakfast and prefer savory over sweet.

Hey Dawn... Thanks for the comment! I added your blog to my Blogroll, and will definitely keep reading yours. It's cool we're both starting around the same time- your first day already sounds really healthy! I'm sure I'll learn a lot from you (and may need your advice in the future!)
ReplyDeleteHey Dawn,
ReplyDeleteI just came upon your blog, I've been CRing since 2006. I just read all of your posts backwards which is why I'm commenting on the first. Tons of cinnamon with brewers yeast in yogurt is the only way I can eat the stuff. Others like it in broth for a soup and on popcorn. As for hunger pains, I'd say they lessen a bit, but more so you stop sensing them as *hunger* and start feeling is as normal, natural emptiness between meals. Just my 2 cents!
