Another Week Flies By. New 1600 Cal Diet.

Ooops!  Time for an update on the new diet… featuring lots of fruits and veggies!

I am trying to combat terrible time management skills right now just to stay afloat in my classes. I have a hard core case of seniorities. Frankly, I just don’t care about this school stuff. I probably should care about the fact that I don’t have a job lined up after college. But it turns out that I don’t. I am just very apathetic.

However, I am not apathetic about the weight loss thing. Im totally ready to start a new eating plan. Basically its a 1600 cal a day diet, but I will plan out my meals beforehand.

I realized that most of my over eating problems comes from the fact that I never know what I am going to eat next and make really poor last minute decisions. I hate planning, but I think if my meals are planned out it will prevent me from overeating as much. Sounds good, right?

I found a great website with information specifically for college students at UNC Chapel Hill’s Health Services site. I will be using their 1600 calorie a day meal plan with my own variations.

Having a structured eating plan is one of my keys to success.

That looks like a really, good plan.

I don’t plan too much, but only because I tend to eat the same things all the time. :) Turkey, tuna, chicken, salad, etc. When I think I’m ready for something else, I have to plan around it, but until then, I just know that most of my meals are 300-350 calories and snacks are 50-150.

If I liked variety, though, my current plan wouldn’t work. I bookmarked the site you provided, just in case. :)

Happy weekend!

good luck with your new plan! I am avid fan of any plan containing lots of fruits and veggies, and 1600 sounds like a good target area for calories.

Finding a plan is a good place to start. I happened to find the BestLife program while I was home sick with the flu in January. It’s been great: 31 pounds and 26.25 inches lost since Jan 15.

Great blog design.

P. S. We’re nearly neighbors. I live in Hot Springs, Ark.
