I am continuing on my effort to comprehend the THM (Trim Healthy Mama) way of eating. I'm limited on my time to devote to it, so I am probably making it harder than it really is. A few minutes here and there makes it an extremely slow process to read through the book. The more I read and understand the better I like it. It appeals to me because every meal is an opportunity to eat different style (low/higher carb, low/higher fat, low carb/low fat, high carb high fat).
While reading and thinking about THM, I have discovered something about my eating. I eat all the time!!!!! When I'm tracking food on MFP, I just add what I'm grazing on to the last or next meal. One of foundations of THM is to have a 3 hour window between eating to allow your body to finish processing the food so the different food types aren't mixed.. I didn't realize honoring this 3 hour window would be such a big change for me until I gave it a try.
THM baby step progress -
** Breakfast is on track. I have selected an eating style (Satisfying) and have breakfast meals organized, planned and easily followed.
** 3 hour window - In progress.....actively working on this. I'm using an Android app (Time Meter) to help me know how long it has been since I last ate and to track the different eating styles.
**
THM drinks.....in learning stage. They have several with catchy names that I want to try........ The Shrinker, Good Girl Moonshine, BulletProof Coffee, etc.
** Snacks.....next up for my learning/planning focus. I want to have snacks with me at all times. I want them to satisfy both my requirements and to share with the little ones and also meet DH diabetic needs. I need to think through this.......light weight, easily packaged, high protein, tasty......
1. Know what you want.
2. Go after it relentlessly.
