Jorg's Brain Log

Last friday I subscribed myself to a new gym, which is suited for my life style at the moment. Because I’m living a pretty mobile lifestyle at the moment, traveling a lot, and sleeping at different places through the week, it would be best to have a gym with several locations through the Netherlands. Fit For Free has many gym’s in the Netherlands and now that I’m a member I can go to 24 different locations for some intense fitness and cardio workouts!

Now that the physical is covered and I can go work with the weights again, it’s time to look at another bad habit; my eating habits! As I’ve got a very slow metabolism and that I’m pretty sensitive to sugar, it’s time to really start with changing the way I eat. In the past I always changed my eating pattern by turning 180 degrees. Too many times this has been a failure. So now it’s time to approach it another way. 

In the coming weeks I introduce small rules to myself, that I’ve got to hold on too for 30 days. When I’ve kept myself to them, I’ve turned them into a good habit. I believe if I can do it for at least 30 days, after that it’s just part of my lifestyle.

So, the first eating rules are:

No more sugar soft drinks, that spike my insuline. This change alone will probably give me a lot of more comfort in my own body. Why don’t I just completly abandon soft drinks? I don’t drink coffee and I sometimes just need some caffeine. So my favorite beverage to boost myself is Coca Cola Zero.

This is part of the bigger plan of transforming my eating habits to a paleolithic eating habit. (notice I don’t use the word diet, it’s such a negative word) I really believe that if I don’t eat bread, I will automatically replace this with fruit and vegetables. The past learns me that bread for me is probably one of the biggest reasons I’ve got big energy differences, and a bloated feeling.

Now I need to make some kind of widget for on this site, so that I can easily keep track on each rule and if it’s succesfully done everyday. That’s a nice task…
