Handful of crisps
Handful of chocolate covered bugles

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!)

olivesnutsandcheese · 16/01/2019 20:44

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

Bubba1234 · 16/01/2019 20:45

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

MoonieMoon · 16/01/2019 20:48

Dinner. 100g pasta. Home made Bolognese made with low fat

This is a very typical day for me when on WW

Croprotationinthe14thcentury · 16/01/2019 20:52

Lunch - 2 slices of wholemeal toast with marmite, a satsuma and an apple

YeOldeNameChange · 16/01/2019 20:54

B-two boiled eggs
L-sausage casserole with cheese

TheWayOfTheWorld · 16/01/2019 21:02

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 Smile

TheWayOfTheWorld · 16/01/2019 21:04

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.

NoraButty · 16/01/2019 21:09

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.

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.

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.

B celery juice

L chicken salad

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