**MY FINDINGS FROM EATING JUNK FOOD SO FAR**
I believe I've found my solid macro numbers (%). I'm liking this "HCLF" diet!
Some quick comments on going from ~50g of carbs to now in the 250+ range:
(1) This mix right here is giving me tons of energy without fat gain AT ALL!
(2) I don't feel bloated after eating at all like I'd expected.
(3) The carbs (and creatine) are causing me to increase my daily water intake another 50%... I'm up to almost 2 gallons a day now!
(4) Referencing point #3, every couple days my system does a water-weight "purge" and the weight drops again.
(5) I found the first couple days of eating my "junk food" (processed stuff) for breakfast backfired; I was full for a couple hours, then famished, so I'd starve at work until I got home.
(6) I switched my big "real food" meals to breakfast and now have a big bowl of cereal in milk for dinner with a medium sized carby dessert and it knocks me right out! The great part of a high carb meal right before bed is that it makes the morning weigh in more accurate. The "real food" meals of meat and veggies may not have processed all the way while I slept, but the carbs metabolize quickly, so they're gone by morning after going to sleep nice and full 👍
(7) Lastly, the sugary snacks are a bit too sweet for me, but I'm loving that they aren't filling (see my journal entry about the effects of processed foods). I used to struggle to get in 2200 calories. I'm now eating an extra 300-400 calories of "garbage" without having any issues at all with forcing it. I see how one could easily get out of hand with these if not controlled. I plan my meals a week in advance and just stick to the menu I create, so there's no deviation.
All in all, a very successful diet. I don't have the temptation like most to go overboard on the sweets, but this diet is DEFINITELY NOT for those with a lack of willpower! Fo' sho'!
Once I've burned through this massive pile of "junk food", I'm switching to fruits and veggies as my primary carb source. It's not the sugars that scare me about eating all these processed foods; it's all the other ingredients I can barely pronounce that I take issue with.
Nothing wrong with most other WOEs, but I've just learned to stop being such a Carb Nazi about eating, lightened up a bit, eating more stuff I enjoy, and moving towards my goal.
