Today is a rest or stretch day but I may squeeze in a KenpoX workout to make up for yesterday’s missed Kenpo Cardio workout.

OK, I have had a breakthrough of sorts. I am FINALLY serious about concentrating on my diet. Yesterday I literally stumbled on a post from Tony Horton’s blog and it inspired me to get on track with my food intake. I will NEVER see the results I want until I change my diet. So here we go, for the next 30 days (except for Thanksgiving) I will be radically changing my diet.

This should be fairly easy for me. I’m an all or nothing kinda guy. You can read Tony’s post to see his outline of what he called the simple, unmodified, hard core version of the food plan.

Here is my version of his plan. I modified slightly to fit my needs. For example, his plan called for 1 cup of coffee max a day for coffee drinkers. I am going to quit coffee completely. He also suggests limiting dairy. I am going to completely eliminate dairy.

• For the next 30 days I will not eat white bread or anything made with enriched flour or processed flour.


• No sugary food like candy, cake, etc.


• No Dairy foods.


• No carbonated beverages. Beer included. Drink water and tea only.


• At least 2 meals a day must include vegetables.


• One meal a day, must include fruit.


• Protein will come from - Nuts, beans, fish, turkey, and chicken.


• For a minimum of the first 2 weeks write down everything I eat.


• No calorie counting.


• Eat smaller meals.


• Eat every two hours.


• Do not eat a couple hours before going to bed.

That’s it! Pretty easy huh?

It’s almost 2:30 pm on my first day and I am having no problem giving up coffee. I have done a great job with the diet too. I’m thinking about taking some before and after shots for this 30 days as well.

Till next time… Bring It!
