Hi everyone!

It’s past 10:30 pm here now. I did a couple of hours of gardening, and now I’ve had dinner, with dessert.

For dinner I had low-fat cottage cheese, ham, and baby carrots. For dessert I had three different donuts and a caramel cinnamon bun. A fair bit of protein, some fibre, and plenty of carbon. I enjoyed it!

The waist-band is…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

At work today I had a small plate of shredded cabbage and pickled cucumber from the salad bar, alongside a cup of coffee with a small splash of milk.

Now I’ve had an after work protein drink with a side of low-fat cottage cheese. I’ll go to the allotment plot now to get things done for a while, before having dinner and dessert.

Hi everyone!

It’s ten past 3 pm, and I’ve had a second meal: low-fat cottage cheese, mussles in brine, and a protein drink. Now I’ll head to work. My waist-band is still not too tight, and I feel good.

Onwards!

Hi everyone!

I’ve had my first meal for today. Lean protein and veggies, about 3:1 protein to carbon. Sardines and an egg for protein and fat, egg whites, fat-free Greek yoghurt, and low-fat cottage cheese for protein and carbohydrates, green beans for fiber and carbohydrates, 7-up “zero” with whey protein isolate for protein. It was a lovely…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

It’s a new day here now.

The waistband of my leggins is not as tight as it was yesterday.

So far this morning I’m not hungry. I’ll wait for hunger and then I’ll have my first meal.

My meal-plan for today is to have a low carbon, protein rich first meal, for example tuna in tomato sauce, low fat cottage cheese, and fat free greek…[Read more]

Welcome back!

Hi Sharlet!

Keep on keeping on! 

Hi everyone!

I’m happy to be back with an update:

I’ve removed the scale from the equation!

I felt much better instantly. I was of course overdoing it with the scale.

For now I’ll go by how tight the waistband of my leggings is around my belly, keep an eye on my one inch pinch, and observe my body in the mirror every now and again, instead of…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

The five bite diet at the beginning of this morning was great, and then, like yesterday, I didn’t stick with it throughout the rest of the day. I’m beginning to think that this is a good time for me to take a break with the diet for now. I’ll revisit the five bite diet when I’m ready.

All the best to everyone, and a big thank you…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

It’s a new day here now.
I decided to eat anything I wanted yesterday, taking a break from dieting.

Today is a five bite diet day. For my first meal I had 1/4 of a jam filled doughnut, and a small glass of water with a spoonful of protein isolate and a few drops of olive oil.

I’m holding on to the “even split” for now. I’ll let it…[Read more]

Lovely bar day!

Hi Letileti and hi everyone!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and perspective with us all.

There is indeed more for me to learn and more for me to grow into. I’ll regard this time as the time I’m taking to find my way into maintenance. That also fits with my little swan picture – it’s running, and has not yet settled down for a harmonious…[Read more]

Go go go!

Hi everyone!

I had a sudden feeling of tiredness in te early afternoon, and I considered taking a nap. The feeling disappeared after a few seconds, just like it had done last time, which was then followed by eating more. This time I also didn’t take a nap. Instead, I had more to eat.

I decided to try to observe as much as possible what was going…[Read more]

Beautifully written Letileti!

Thank you Letileti!

I feel how brave you are. It’s inspiring!

Hi everyone!

It’s another day here.

My weight this morning was 53.1 kg / 117.0 lbs / 17.5 bmi.

I’ll aim to eat about the same amount of food today as I did yesterday, so that I don’t end up with regrets tomorrow.

Onwards!

Hi Dania!

How lovely for me to read what you wrote! A bit of a relief to me as I was beginning to think that I had overstepped in bringing up this topic.

I would be interested to know more about satiety, food choices, and activity levels from the perspective of Dr Lewis. I’ve read in Why Weight Around? to have at least one bite of meat, egg,…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

Go Alaska Gal!
