NO BREAD DAY 43/54

11 more days till the NO BREAD challenge ends. Although we’ve really gone to the extreme during the challenge, avoiding bread, rice, pasta, potato and sugar all together, I encourage you to start living a NO BREAD lifestyle even after the challenge. You might dial it back a bit, but still focus on making the bulk of your meals meat and greens and keep the white starchy carbs to a minimum and the sugar only for special occasions. Here is a reminder of our prescription: Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and NO sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.
