Nosey! I am starting mine today..and the thought of sald makes me want to cry.

This month I cut back on wine so only drinking 2 days a week. Not changing diet really, but I have a fast metabolism so already noticed a slimmer tummy. I’m already slim so this is really about being healthier. I’m eating more veggies and fruit added into my normal diet. I went through a phase where I had one veggie serving a day (and a bunch of junk!)

Bagel for breakfast.. then it went downhill after I met a friend for lunch

Lunch was
Quiche half
2 chicken breast things
Chips

Dinner
Creamy mushroom pasta
Tub of Hagen daas

Breakfast: banana, then mid-morning a small bowl of mixed fruit (grapes, blueberries, raspberries strawberries) with fat free Greek yoghurt.

Lunch: homemade carrot & lentil soup with 3 crisp bread & low fat soft cheese.

Snack: chocolate snack a jack & apple

Dinner: was meant to be prawn Singapore noodles but it was after 8pm by the time I got my DD bathed & bed that I had wholemeal toast with peanut butter & banana!

I'm trying 16:8 along with Fast800.
So breakfast was a large cup of green tea followed by two gym classes.
Lunch : two chicken thighs with rocket
Dinner: lentil dhal (mm recipe) on a bed of shredded greens. Really really nice.
So coming in around 800 calories.

But I'm most proud of being 16 days without alcohol. I feel so much better for it, it's really surprised me

B: 2 pears
L: salad and chips from a restaurant literally to die for I’d love it again 2mo but I think il have my beef casserole instead cod cheaper and don’t want to waste food
D : I’m actually constipated since last weekend I haven’t been hungry so I just had a green tea and loads of water
No snacks I have gone off chocolate and sweets since Xmas

Breakfast was a coffee with milk (I never eat breakfast)

Lunch was a wholemeal pitta, hummus and some carrot sticks

Dinner was veggie sausages, bubble and squeak mash and beans.

Still got 340 calories left so I may have some chocolate

Brunch: Paprika prawn leftovers from last night with asparagus and a fried egg.

Dinner: Aubergine and lamb stew with pomegranate and pine kernels on cauli mash.

A couple of teas and coffees with milk during day, but largely herbal teas and water to drink.

Am doing Fast 800 and have lost just over a stone eating delicious food

Back to WW since 2nd Jan. Decided to do dry January too. Doing well so far.
Breakfast 2 poached eggs, 1 slice whole grain toast
Lunch. Half carton Covent Garden mushroom soup 1slice whole

grain toast. Satsuma and a banana
Dinner. 100g pasta. Home made Bolognese made with low fat
turkey mince.
Skimmed milk for tea
Will probably have raspberries, blueberries and low fat Greek yogurt later.
This is a very typical day for me when on WW

Breakfast - coffee
Lunch - 2 slices of wholemeal toast with marmite, a satsuma and an apple
Snack - a rice cake and some carrot sticks with houmous
Dinner - a wholemeal wrap with falafel, houmous, sweet chilli sauce, tomatoes, salad leaves, spinach and peppers
Then i messed up and ate a toffee crisp and a couple of custard creams!

Low carb High fat
B-two boiled eggs
L-sausage casserole with cheese
D-spicy chicken breast with avocado and courgetti

Breakfast: 2 sausages with mustard and a coffee with cream
Lunch: home made vegetable soup
Snack: coffee with cream and a two finger kitkat
Dinner: cauliflower rice with tomatoes (cooked in garlic oil) and half a mozzarella ball.

1100 cals all in

Should add I generally follow a low carb high fat way of eating, which means I eat a lot of veg instead of rice, pasta and potatoes. I had a mountain of cauliflower which was 70 cals, so could “spend” my cals on delicious mozzarella.

Breakfast: Porridge made with half water half oat milk + banana + squirt of sweet freedom chocolate (approx 350 calories)

Lunch: homemade leek & potato soup - huge portion. Chopped chicken breast with chimmi churri dressing (about 500 calories)

Dinner: A two egg omelet with onion and red peppers (about 250 calories) Sugar free jelly for dessert.

I’ve never eaten so healthier ever. Not sure if I can keep it up but I’d like to.

I also only started this week! Today I had:

B: bowl of cornflakes (would normally be porridge but i overslept and was late for work)
L: homemade chicken Caesar wrap, Skyr yoghurt & snacks of carrot, cucumber, celery & cherry tomatoes
Snack: Apple
Dinner: Hairy Dieters Paprika Chicken and micro rice.

Oh and according to My fitness pal that's around 1,000 cals- I know that sounds low and my daily goal is 1200, but I'm not hungry so reckon it's OK.

Breakfast: cornflakes with semi skimmed milk
Snack: Nakd Peanut bar
Lunch: Apple
Dinner: Spaghetti bolognese
Later: cuppa & two chocolate digestives

This thread is making me hungry!

I started Keto and celery juicing on Monday. Have lost 6lb in two days. This is not normal I know but the celery juice has really curbed my carb/sugar/hunger pangs and cleared my brain fog as well as bloat. Lots of water loss.

L chicken salad

D Indian buffet meal- seekh kebabs lamb chops and chicken masala on a bed of salad
