Jumping on Alton Brown's epiphany trail...

Alton Brown's Guidelines

---

So what is he eating? According to his fan blog (Thanks for the heads up, Jimmy Moore!) he ate these foods.

Daily
- Fruits
- Whole Grains
- Leafy Greens
- Nuts
- Carrots
- Green Tea
3 times a week
- Oily Fish (He loves sardines!)
- Yogurt
- Broccoli
- Sweet Potato
- Avocado
Once a week
- Red meat
- Pasta
- Dessert
- Alcohol
NEVER!
- Fast Food
- Soda
- Processed meals/frozen dinners
- Canned soup
- “Diet” anything
PLUS: Eat breakfast every day, no exceptions.

These are his guidelines and an idea of what he does and does not do.

Ironically, this is exactly what my ex-trainer, Ralphie told me what I had to eat to succeed over 2 years ago!

It keeps coming back to him.

This week I will have my thyroid rechecked and see if there are problems or something else. I am gaining weight. There is no point in denying the obvious.

I must do something now. I know I can do it. I've done it before.

The good news I am meeting up with a new trainer. She is for training only and does not give out nutrition information. I want to fire up my techniques and get my body going in the right direction once again.

As for nutrition, I'm doing this on my own.
