ALL ABOUT TODAY: 27 February

After the short sprint with Intermittent Fasting and picking up a kilogram and a half almost dying without food ;). Going from there into a sugar crave and steep climb in weight I'm back at normal again. After two weeks of really struggling to see the number on the scale going down..... IT IS HAPPENING!

BREAKFAST this morning was 2 slices of the turkey ham and cheese quiche left overs with a cup of sliced  cucumber and mayonnaise. Two cups of coffee and cream.

Kept myself going until lunch without snacking! ;D

LUNCH was a big chopped lettuce salad with tomato, 2T of blue cheese pieces and a dressing of olive oil and lemon.

Midd afternoon I made a BPC with coconut oil.

SUPPER will be a chicken thigh baked in the oven covered in mayonnaise. My first try with this. Broccoli, zucchini, brussell sprouts and pumpkin tossed with olive oil roasted in the oven.

My best advice for anyone wanting to do a Lifestyle change with eating LOW CARB would be: "KEEP IT SIMPLE AND STICK TO THE BASICS!"

WHAT IS SHE ACTUALLY SAYING! ;)
-I cut out all artificial sweetener - it gives me sugar cravings and even have stalled my weight.
-I make a point of it to drink more water - I fill up a liter jar in the morning and try to finish it during the day.
-By eating eggs in the morning with some kind of vegetable/ Salad for lunch with a protein and supper with low carb vegetables and a protein. - This really helps to stick to the basics and helps me with my menu planning.
-On the topic of menu planning - I plan my family's menu for the week and try to work in how I can take the protein eaten and use it with low carb vegetables for them and me.
-I just stay away from SWEETS. Even dark chocolate if I can. Now and then I have a little bit! I just walk away when my family pull out the desserts.
-My treat is cream in my coffee and thats it!  No flavored creamer etc.
-What works for me is cutting back on protein. The advice "to eat until you are full" just do not work for me. I do not feel full ever from protein ;) I could always have more! I just eat less protein now from what I use to eat. I make sure my salads are big and my vegetables in the evening is not more than a cup of vegetables. AND I EAT OLIVE OIL, BUTTER, COCONUT OIL AND MAYONNAISE with everything.

This is not always easy but if I want to make this a lifestyle I need to put it together so it works for me.
