NOTES: Low Calorie Diet Day 3. Still feeling good on the calorie restriction. I might try doing alternate day fasting next month and see if I can push myself towards maybe doing a 3 or 5 day fast each month instead of doing these calorie restrictions. I find that on these 5 days, I think about food all day because I’m trying to monitor what I’m eating and making sure I’m checking calories and fat in everything. It can be a little overwhelming. Maybe having days when I don’t need to be thinking about food at all would be better.
I’ve been working more on reducing salt. I think it is going pretty well, but some things that have salt included are just going to be hard to switch from. Mustard is one of the hardest. There was a mustard that has no salt, but it has increased in price dramatically, probably because they saw what a market there was for it. It’s something I’ll keep chipping away at, but it just means staying focused on reduced sodium or no sodium in as many foods as possible. That way, at least all I’m getting is the sodium from the mustard or the canned mushrooms, or whatever.
