Hi All,
I have lost about 2.5 stone since Jan through low-carbing. Have lost and put weight on before but this way makes sense to me - the science is fascinating, and my body feels and looks so much healthier. BUT I find evenings tricky and end up eating way too much so my weight loss is slowing and I am getting into bad habits...
So I eat breakfast with DH and our three DSs at 7am. Coffee mid-morning, black or with bit of cream. A low-carb lunch with the baby (his is not low-carb) at 12.30ish. Then after the school run it all goes wrong - I am tired, kids are tired, we don't get home until 4.45ish, and then I need to make their tea, and I pick at this and that, and have bits of leftovers, and just spoil things. Then DH gets home and likes to see kids before they go to sleep, so they're usually not settled until 8. And DH falls asleep cuddling DS2! And I will finally sit down with a book, pick at nuts/cheese/olives etc, eventually DH wakes up and we never eat until 9 or even later when I am not even hungry! Agh!
I think really I am asking permission to eat my tea with the kids, and let DH eat by himself later. Is that mean? Weirdly, if I eat my tea early (nursery hours!), I never want to eat later, and can actually resist stuff, or might just have a cup of tea. I could maybe turn it into a bit of intermittent fasting a couple of days a week too.
Any thoughts? Sorry for the long post. Does anyone else eat at different hours to stick to their healthy eating plans?
Thanks for any advice.
