The New 21 Day Challenge: Carbs are Bad!

So I like to read about all things fitness.  There are of course my favorite authors, contributors and experts like Dave Tate of EliteFTS or Chris Shugart from T-Muscle / Velocity Life. 

Last week I read an article from Chris that really got me thinking.  The article title The New 21 Day Challenge 

After reading about how habits can be formed, changed or broken in average within 21 days I took a look at myself and some things I would like to change in my life.  

While keeping this to a fitness based blog I will only go into a few of these, but needless to say there is a lot to be done to get me where I need to be on a lot of fronts.

I looked at ridding caffeine, alcohol or 21 days of cardio or something along those lines.  

Well, I gave up caffeine for a week on a whim and didn’t find it to be that intrusive. I haven’t had a drink in more than a month so that really didn’t work for me either. 

Then it hit me.

I want to give up starchy carbs.

That’s right, no:

  1. 1.       Bread
  2. 2.       Pasta
  3. 3.       Potato
  4. 4.       Rice
  5. 5.       And pretty much any other filler type substance

I am not going completely no carb, I will supplement with additional servings of vegetables and beans (sorry baby!)

Wish me luck, I will report back weekly!
