I have been on a diet journey since my midd twenties, but as I entered my forties the scale climbed me steady up to 89 kilogram and I knew I had to loose weight! After I discovered recently that I was becoming insulin resistant I had a new urgency in my life to loose weight. Not just to loose it but find a lifestyle of loosing it. I decided to go by the way of LOW CARB EATING. This blog is about my journey..... the good and the bad.....

PUZZLING what to eat when on the go or eating out?
I just have to say I'm down another 200g!!!!!!!! Ok I have to admit my inlaws are coming to visit us and my goal is to weigh 75kg when they arrive! I have another 4 weeks before they arrive! Maybe it is a goal a bit out of reach but I'm going to give it all.
Yesterday was a bit challenging food wise. I knew we were going on a trip with friends to the beach. What works for me is planning ahead and keeping it very simple. I packed frozen bottles of water, often when lead into temptation drinking a nice glass of cold water gets me over the edge.
Before we left I had breakfast which was two eggs and left over salad from the night before. I knew that my breakfast would pull me over to lunch. I dragged along a bag with almonds and macadamia nuts. I knew I could only eat a few but it could count as a snack when all around me were gobbling down the chocolate brownies I was asked to bring along :D
Lunch happened to be out and it is hard to eat out without carbs. Especially at local restaurants at the sea. I had a chicken burger without the chips and bun with extra salad and they were willing to put it on a plate for me. How nice.
I had a few lettuce wraps. Let me explain. I normally buy big leave lettuce. I use the leaves as my wraps with a piece of turkey ham, Greek salad with feta cheese and olives and a dollop of mayonnaise.
I was definitely not drooling over my family's toasted ham and cheese sandwiches :)
I was hoping to loose more today but I think I got carried away with the nuts. A snack to many!
Here is a great FREE e book on one amazing website on eating on the go and planning ahead for those trips:
