What did you eat today?
I love reading what people have (and getting new ideas/recipes).
My new year new habit is to have a side of veg with each meal (and eat it first).

Breakfast - Sourdough toast with soft cheese & bagel seasoning, side of cucumber/tomatoes,

Snack - Crisps

Lunch - Stovies with beetroot (traditional in my part of Scotland)

Snack - Christmas choc (trying to get through this)

Teatime snack - Bowl of homemade lentil & veg soup, a couple of crackers

Dinner - I am going to a pub quiz so will have a wee something to eat from their bar bites menu!

I’ve got this fluey virus so all I’ve had is a couple of slices of cold turkey and 2 or 3 pigs in blankets. I cooked a turkey crown etc yesterday that we were supposed to have as a second Christmas dinner, but i wasn’t up to doing all the veggies.

And I’ve had copious cups of spiced ginger tea.

”proper” dinners over the next few nights & i’ll do a big shop on Tuesday or Wednesday and try to get back to normal.

Pretty average day for me

@Thesofathatwas , I’m sorry you didn’t find help on your thread. 😔
What is a normal day of eating for you?
I combined my Mounjaro journey with ditching sugar completely and cutting down massively on my fruit consumption. I also don’t eat until lunch time, all in an effort to try and be more insulin sensitive. I’m convinced that being insulin resistant made a considerable contribution to my weight gain and also to how difficult I had found it to lose the weight. Are you taking HRT?
Are you stressed, sleeping well? So many things can interfere with our ability to lose weight. The Glucose Goddess is worth taking a look at, Ultra processed people and The Obesity Code are very good reads. I’ve found great information in the Zoe podcasts.
To be honest there were days (3 per week )during my weight loss stage where I had very low calories but intermittent fasting was part of my strategy and I ate much more on the other 4 days. You could try calories cycling, I found it was helpful to be able to look forward to those days where I could have more.
There were times I felt despondent, didn’t lose, put on! My weight loss was slow compared to many but I’ve now lost 80Lbs and am trying to maintain. Wishing you success.

B - a pain aux raisin
L - cheese and crackers
D - sausage cassoulet which at least had a lot of vegetables in it!

I was very hungry today - no idea why. As soon as our food shop comes on Sunday I will be back to eating better and cutting right back on sugar!!!

B - 2 slices brown toast with butter and Marmite

L - chicken breast cooked in a little saffrony broth with broccoli and sprouts

S - a giant marshmallow, some blueberries and 2 cream crackers and a babybel

D - chicken tikka masala and rice (homemade, sadly not a takeaway!) plus a mini naan bread, broccoli.

S half a crunchie

I had numerous teas throughout the day, a homemade cappuccino from our coffee machine and water.

2 bowls of cereal
2 slices of bread and butter, cucumber and a yoghurt.
1 can of pepsi max
2 or 3 teas
1 bottle of water

A banana, porridge, granary bread, ham, chilli chicken, tomatoes, coleslaw, crumpets and butter, sausages, roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese.

I hope to keep it up. I only really had Christmas Day filling my face 🤣. We have a big holiday coming up in April to Thailand and I’ve got the final 9 pounds to lose so I feel good in a bikini.

Two pieces of toast with peanut butter
a piece of Christmas cake
a very weird sandwich made of stuffed peppadew peppers
soup of many wilted vegetables
five macarons
a pot of mango that went out of date before Christmas
all the Heroes out of the tin
a few cashew nuts
half a cucumber

Can you tell that we’re ’tidying up’?

B - black coffee

L - croissant & latte

D - entire Tesco pizza, half a garlic bread and Pepsi Zero 😩
