My Introduction

Hey my name is Jason and I have just started the TNT Diet Plan from Mens Health. I am currently on Day 5 of Plan A. I thought I would journal my way to fitness and weight loss.

A little about me. I am 33 I am 6'1". I weighed in at 225 LBS on Saturday April 10th, 2010. I have done the Low Carb Diet/Lifestyle once before in 2007. I had hit a low spot in my life and I decided it was time for me to lose weight and get back into shape. So I found TNT and it worked for me. I went from at the time weighing 230 LBS in late October 2007 to weighing 182 LBS by the following Summer. It was a long journey and I felt great about losing all of that weight.

A couple of things happened after that. I got a new job, moved to new area and I met a girl I ended up dating for a little over a year. A couple of other things happened. I started to neglect my eating habits. I frequently would end a shift which was then night shift and ended at 7 AM. I would stop off at a Krispy Kreme and scarf down 4 or 5 doughnuts, also sometimes I would go to Hardees or McDonalds and eat breakfast. I don't know why I did this. but I started to sabotage all of my hard work. So flash forward, my new job didn't go as well as I had hoped. I am currently working out my last days at my current job.

So Saturday I decided it was time to do it again and lose some weight. My goal is to get down to 180 LBS again.

Here is my sample menu for a day:

Breakfast:

3 Strips of Bacon

Cheddar Cheese

Spring Water

Lunch:

Hamburger Patty

Cheddar Cheese

2 Strips of Bacon

Spinach

Ranch Dressing

Cheddar Cheese

Spring Water

Dinner:

Ribeye Steak

Spinach

Ranch Dressing

Cheddar Cheese

Steamed Green Beans

Spring Water

So yes it looks like I am eating a bunch of Fat and you would be correct. Fat helps you feel full, it makes it easy to stick to the plan, I couldn't believe this myself after finding out last time that I could actually lose weight doing this.

So here is my goal. I will blog at least 3 times a week. I will put in sample recipes and let you know my progress. I will also weigh in once per week on Saturday. This my Low Carb lifestyle and I plan on sticking to it.
