Online Reputation

Dear Amanda,

When I typed your name in Google there were 26,500,000 results that showed up. Obviously your last name had a big part to do with the many results that came up. I didn't find anything about you with that search so I decided to narrow the search by typing "Amanda Running Utah State University" and saw that there was 43,400 results which was much shorter than the previous search. Your word press was the very first on the list.

www.onlinejcom.org/amanda/

The second result on the search was your propagandist files.

propagandistfiles.blogspot.com/

I also found your profile on Pandora.

www.pandora.com/people/amandarunning

So with all of these websites that were linked to you i found that it was very professional and that your online reputation is pretty good and respectable. I didn't find any "spring break photos" Which is always good especially with the results that came up showing your professionalism.

Thanks Amanda,

Jeff Skidmore

Day 28

Well I made it! And the diet definitely worked! I ended up losing 11 pounds while increasing in muscle size. I feel great and am planning to jump back on it after my trip to Seattle for Thanksgiving! But this time around I am not going to be as strict as I was and make meal exceptions. I've received a lot of comments from friends and it feels good to reach goals. I'm still not where I want to be, but am definitely on my way.

Day 9

Things are lookin' REAL good! today was the first I ventured out of my comfort zone and upping my cooking skills from the George Foreman grilling chicken and having raw green beans to a pan fried top sirloin steak and zucchini! It was simply amazing and I was especially impressed that I cooked it just right. Tonight is my carb meal and I'm looking forward to that Sweet potato with peanut butter! It is simply delicious! It's like my dessert that I can have every 3 days.

This morning I decided to jump on the scale to see where my weight was and I weighed in at 198 lbs. So I have dropped 8 pounds since the start of my diet and I feel better than ever and have definitely noticed a difference with not only my physical appearance, but in just my overall feeling of being healthy.

Cut Diet

So on October 27th I decided to challenge myself mentally with this new cut diet given to me by a good man I crossed paths with while I was on my LDS mission to South Carolina.

Three days have gone by since I started this diet and I'm definitely feeling really good especially after I had my carb meal which I can only have every 18th meal ... Call me crazy, but it works!

Here's the diet just in case any of you are wondering what it is:

Meal 1             
6 egg whites
1 whole egg
2 oz grilled chicken or Lean fillet
½ cup steamed spinach
2 tbsp peanut butter or 12 almonds
6.5 oz PEELED ruby red grapefruit – splenda packets can be used to sweeten if desired
42g protein, 15g fat, 20g carbs 


Meal 2
2 scoops of Protein Powder
2 tbsp peanut butter or 12 almonds
1 cup steamed Broccoli or green beans
44g protein, 10g fat, 10g carbs 


Meal 3       
6 oz grilled chicken or Lean fillet
1 cup steamed Broccoli or green beans
2 tbsp peanut butter or 18 almonds
42g protein, 15g fat, 10g carbs   
 

Meal 4       
6 oz grilled chicken or grilled halibut/tilapia               
½ cup steamed Broccoli or green beans
2 tbsp peanut butter or 12 almonds or 2 oz avocado
42g protein, 10g fat, 5g carbs   


Meal 5   
2 scoops of Protein Powder
2 tbsp peanut butter or 18 almonds
½ cup steamed Broccoli or green beans
44g protein, 15g fat, 5g carbs 


Meal 6       
6 oz Chicken or halibut or Sirloin fillet or Tuna (albacore packed/canned in water) or LEAN turkey breast            
1 cup steamed Broccoli or green beans or 1 cup lettuce, ¼ cup tomato and ¼ cup cucumber
2 oz avocado, 2 tbsp REDUCED FAT DRESSING
42g protein, 10g fat, 10g carbs   



Protein – 298g = 1192 Cals, Carbs (not including Carb night) – 60g = 240 Cals, Fat – 75g = 675
Cals

Total Cals – 2107 Cals NON-carb night
Total Cals – 2694 – Carb nights

Every 18th meal is carb meal. LAST MEAL and it replaces Meal 6. MUST BE eaten in this order
1. 1.5 cup green beans = 15g carbs

2. ¾ cup oatmeal (measured dry then add water and microwave) 45g carbs
6.5 oz PEELED ruby red grapefruit – splenda packets can be used to sweeten if desired = 15g carbs
4-6 packets splenda for sweetening
18 almonds = 15g fat

3. 12 oz yam or sweet potato = 90g carbs
2 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter = 10g fat
4-6 packets splenda for sweetening
Carbs = 165g = 660 Cals
