Day 1 Summary

What have I learned today?

It was extremely informative for me to write down what I eat in detail. I realized that I don't consume enough calories on this diet and you can see that I've decided to add some extra cal at my last meal. Not a wise decision. But in my defense I had no idea that 1.5 avocados would add up to almost 500 Cal.

Another observation is that low GI diet is quite the opposite to LFRV(low fat raw vegan) diet, which consists almost entirely of raw fruit. As you can see 1 banana has a high GI index = 54 and GL = 14. So 30 bananas a day diet would give us GL of 410 vs max suggested amount of 120 on low GI diet. So which way should I go? Fruits or low GI? Well, it seems that 2 diets are kind of two extremes. I'll try to combine both. It's winter here, so it's hard to find nice ripe fruit. Moreover they are very expensive.

I'll try eating lots of fruit but also will add some cooked low GI food. I want to keep my daily calories about 2,000 which means small 6 meals of 330 calories. I still want to keep daily GL around 100 or 17 per meal. I'll try to eat smaller and easier to digest foods for dinner and not eat too late, not past 8:00pm, but preferably before 7:00pm.

My energy level today was extremely high. I didn't feel this good for ages. So far I like what I'm doing. My body loves it :) Tomorrow we'll go skiing! Can't wait :)
