Eating Frugally

At one time I lost a lot of weight. Around sixty pounds. Though I was doing a lot of bicycling at the time, I think a lot of my success was due to counting the calories I consumed, stopping consumption of sodas, and eating with a different pattern.

I began the habit of eating breakfast (two packets of instant oatmeal, 320 calories), eating mostly what I want for lunch and guessing its about 1000 calories, and eating nothing until the next breakfast. I try to have eighteen hours between "lunch" and "breakfast".

To keep up with hydration and hunger, I would drink water with just a little grape juice for flavor.

I've had a change of situation since then, including a surgery. I've gained forty pounds back. I plan for my situation to change in the summer of 2013. I'll get back to eating a way that I think is more healthy for me.

I'm also thinking about introducing "juicing" into my diet. This place seems to have good prices. I've watched some videos on YouTube! of juicing. The Omega 8006 seems the juicer for me. I also watched the film Fat, Sick, and Nearly Died. The idea seems very interesting.

Last night playing cards I had carrots. A good start. Today I had some Pringles. I suppose I'm back to the beginning again. :)

I plan on moving into my van. The juicer I'm looking at, the Omega 8006,  requires 150 watts. This is low enough that a combination of solar panel and battery should be able to run the juicer several times each day. This idea, if I follow it, will provide me with many servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Maybe I can move to a vegetarian, or mostly, diet.
