My Food Journal - The Week of July 25TH
Nutrition | August 01, 2016
I did my best to keep a good record of what I ate for the past week. I did not try to make the photos pretty (sorry for that), I just snapped a quick shot to document my own diet.
You can still use my own Food Journal as a template for your own weekly meal plan, but I really suggest you eat according to your own body-type.
I’m a mesomorph – athletic and muscular so I don’t have to always earn my carbs with a workout although I like doing that anyways because I tent to gain weight easily.
If you’re an endomorph – your body stores more fat and your goal is to get leaner or lose weight. You should definitely earn your carbs with a workout.
If you’re ectomorph – skinny, with very little muscle mass, then you don’t need to earn your carbs with a workout as long as those carbs come from natural sources like rice, potatoes, quinoa, whole grains, etc.
We should all exercise daily and avoid added sugar and junk food if we want to stay healthy and strong. If you do want to eat sugar and junk here and there, then at least earn it with your workout even if you’re naturally skinny. It will help you avoid lifestyle diseases such as diabetes.
Nutrition Guide with more info here.
FM – Free meal that you can eat at any time of the day regardless of your body type
WEM – Workout earned meal, or a meal you should earn with your training if you’re either an endomorph or an endo–mesomorph (athletic person who gains weight easily).
DRINK A LOT OF WATER! I have a 800ml glass bottle that I refill 3x a day to make sure I drink about 2,5l of water every day. If you’re having a trouble to drink plain water, you can always flavor it with fresh lemon juice.
These are my supplements: Supreme greens, glucosamine, essential fatty acids, and my pre-workout protein blend with a natural fat burner.

My Training – High Intensity Short Workout
*I know it may be weird to you that I had oatmeal for dinner, but it was a really hot evening and I had cravings for my cold bowl of oatmeal with chocolate whey protein and nuts. It’s a perfect post workout meal and oats belong to one of the healthiest foods. Besides, I just love them.
SATURDAY
My Training – High Intensity Workout
*We went to movies and I had my favorite nachos with chicken, gravy, beans veggies and dollop of guacamole and sour cream. I ate only half the plate and cried when I saw the leftover. Normally I share this meal with Jesse, but he’s now doing Keto so he couldn’t help me.
SUNDAY
My Training – Really easy workout (mostly stretching)
*I didn’t have time to eat during the day and I wasn’t even hungry. We were out and about taking pictures of my hoodies and tank tops for the most part and it was HOT. Actually I had a Starbucks drink but it was only Green Tea with Passion Fruit which doesn’t really count as calories, because there are hardly any in a tea.
If you’ve seen my new VLOG you know already I had 2 or 3 glasses of white wine from Winc. It’s got lower alcohol levels so it’s better for a light weight as myself. I throughly enjoyed it. Cheers to you guys and to the week ahead of us!!

Hi Zuzana! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK & DEDICATION! 🙂
I’m really enjoying your 12 week program! You are so kind & patient in your teachings!
IT IS A JOY TO ‘workout with you!’
By chance do you plan on vlogging jesse’s progress with Keto? My husband & I started Keto 1 month ago & we both feel amazing! (No muscle pain due to less inflammation in the body & emotional stability from balanced gut flora ) Once I detoxed from sugar/carbs (which was no fun for 7 days!ha!) the craving went away & now staying on keto is easy! My hubby still experiences some nausea from eating all that fat but I feel fine. Just thought it would be cool to hear someone else’s experience w/Keto! Thank you! 🙂

I will ask him if he wants to share 🙂 He lost some weight being in keto and he says he feels a lot better. His body is now well adapted so going in and out of Keto is not a problem for him.

I suck at Keto. I’ve tried a few times now and after several weeks my body is so weak and my breath is horrid. My husband who usually can’t keep his hands off of me wanted nothing to do with me for weeks it was that bad. I just came out of ketosis after trying for 3 weeks. Slowly regaining my strength and unfortunately put on a few pounds. 🙁

Haha, you have to increase your protein intake to get rid off the bad breath. There’s a lot that goes into it. It’s a very specific diet that requires a lot of research. I think that with the increasing amount of people doing this diet and loving the results, we’re going to have more accurate information and resources to learn from. It will just take all those pioneers to pave the road for us normal people who just want all the answers so that we don’t have to suffer 🙂 haha.
