My diet through May ...

by Azureblue on 24 May 2013, 08:02

Thought I'd just share what I have been eating this month as it has produced a steady 1lb a week weight loss.
Fast day:- from 7pm the previous night to 7pm on fast day- no food, drink only sips of tap water, or Dr Stuarts Slimming tea (nothing added), or fennel tea, or peppermint tea. At 7pm eat tin of tuna in spring water with salad of romaine lettuce, 6 cherry tomatoes, 6 radish, 3 good slices of cucumber, 1/2 red pepper, 2 spring onions, followed by 10 small cubes of melon. Before bed I drink a mug of 40 calorie hot chocolate mixed with a very little whole milk, mostly hot water.
Next day is Feed day:- eat breakfast about 8am of Yeo natural yogurt with 2 dessertspoonfuls of Linwoods flaxseed mixed in and drink Pukka green chai tea with a tiny end-of-teaspoon of honey mixed in, followed by a mug of hot water.
Lunch can be anything from a toasted teacake to cheese on toast to scrambled egg with a cup of Moroccan tea, being mindful of the calories consumed to keep within my current TDEE of 1577 calories a day.
Dinner can be smoked haddock with stirfry vegetables, followed by a gala apple, sipping water along the way.
No eating after 7pm any day so digestion is well underway by bedtime.
There is the odd bit of chocolate or thin slice of cake but my sweet tooth has diminished and a little goes a long way in the mouth!
:smile:

Eat real food. Not too much. Mostly plants.
Embracing 16:8 by eating between 11am - 7pm.
Keeping carbs down low, my daily protein aim is 80g and mindfully enjoying the good fats of organic extra virgin olive oil and organic butter.
Always look on the bright side of life :0)
