To ask the January dieters what you have/are eaten today

[JustAboutGettingBy]

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

So far....shredded wheat and milk. Decaf tea

I'm currently pregnant, no problems with my weight but I have lost a stone due to severe morning sickness. I've started tablets (my 3rd different lot) and finally got a real appetite!

So I wanted to share my awful days food to make any dieters feel better!

Cornflakes with way too much sugar
2 bags of hoola hoops
A squares marshmallow bar
An apple
Some root vegetable crisps
Grapes
2 cheese triangles
A creme egg!

Breakfast: meal replacement shake: 180 cal
Lunch: 150g Greek yoghurt with a small apple and tablespoon of crushed hazelnuts: 200 ISH cal
Dinner: chicken pho with broccoli: 300 cal
Plus two cups of tea with two sugars each: 82 cal
Rich tea: 38 cal

Slowly stepping into the blood sugar diet and honestly really loving it 😊 next step is Stevia instead of sugar in tea.

I also want to know the size of the famous mumsnet "massive/huge" salads because I have images of people devouring lettuce leaves the size of a lorry

An apple, a plum, 3 rich tea biscuits
1/2 tub Covent Garden skinny chicken veg soup with a crushed 50cal crispbread on top
Some grapes
20g popcorn
Baked potato with bolognese and salad

With have 4 after eight sticks with cup of tea later

Today I have had:

B: Scrambled Egg with Onion and Tomato (again)
L: Pollack with a Citrus Glaze, Green Beans and New Potatoes (leftovers)
T: Coconut Pork Stir Fry with Cauliflower Rice, followed by 2 Clementines

That is kind of how my eating is, same breakfast, leftovers for lunch and fresh cooked dinner (with a portion boxed up for tomorrow’s lunch). I’ve lost almost 4 stone so far.

I’ve eaten the same lunch and dinner for three days running. I find planning ahead and bulk cooking helps to not stray off course. With the dinner I’ve just changed the veggies around a bit
Breakfast:not hungry
Lunch: sausage casserole with cheese
Dinner: chicken with stir fry veg
Pudding: blackberries with cream

B - nothing
L - leftover chicken and veg stew with dumplings (onion, carrot, broccoli, sweet potato, celery and lots of red lentils)
D - chicken green thai curry with veg and brown rice

I also had a Bourbon biscuit with my little packet caramel latte... I was so restrained!

Shreddies with semi skimmed milk, a custard doughnut, salad and chicken and rice tray bake with asparagus on the side. There’s always tomorrow 😂

Oh today I had the lebkuchen breakfast again (still only 336 calories!)

Lunch was chicken bites from Wetherspoons (411)

Dinner was potato wedges (made with fry light spray), fish and cabbage (354)

That adds up to 1,101.

All good but I suppose I should try eating actual healthy food instead of small crap food

I'm on WW
B. A toasted thin with 2 fried egg ( no oil) and mushrooms ( no oil)
L. Glorious chicken laska soup (220 Cal)
D. Home made chilli ( no fat and lean mince ) & tiny portion of rice .
No snacks but 2 large glasses of red wine

B: none
L: egg salad and chips
D: few bites of bolognaisse loads of mushrooms homemade sauce no pasta
After gym: I got a portion of fried rice and curry sauce from the Chinese il keep the remaining sauce to make my own chicken and rice il have that on Saturday evening
S: none
3 teas

A bagel with some Philadelphia

A juice made of fruit and veg

Homemade stew

A small amount of dark chocolate and a Weight Watchers ice cream pot

LCHF
No breakfast( 16:8 fast- do this every day)
Lunch was scrambled eggs and bacon
Low sugar jelly and thick cream

Tea- chicken fajita with peppers, sour cream and cheese ( but no wrap) and a handful of Brazil nuts

Also did my first week 3 C25K run + an extra 5 mins run( was on a roll) but I do this on my cross trainer as I have dodgy knees!

So far have lost 8lbs ( in two weeks)

I also want to know the size of the famous mumsnet "massive/huge" salads

Wasn't aware they were famous. I just get out a big bowl, take my veg drawer out of the fridge and chop a bit of everything I can find and put it in the bowl. Add some pulses, avocado, a bit of cold meat/tuna/cheese and some dressing of some kind.

It's big enough to be really filling, but it's mostly vegetables so it's very healthy and full of fibre etc. Hard to have a sandwich that's that filling without it being hugely calorific.

Yesterday for me was:
Breakfast: nothing
Mid-morning: 10 almonds
Lunch: 1/2 packet micro brown rice, cajun chicken thighs (1 and a half, skinless boneless), broccoli, green beans and some carrot sticks to snack on
Dinner: Fishcake, tons of veg, slice of bread and butter

2 small slices of toast with low fat butter

Fat free yogurt, honey and raspberries

Pesto, pasta, chicken and 15g cheese

Chewing gum

A single chocolate

Lamb tagine ready meal (ww meal)

I ate all of the food yesterday and really enjoyed it - bottle of wine and burgers for dinner! Really feeling it today though. I do find that if I weigh myself and have lost weight, I feel like I can reward myself with food and I need to stop that.

Today has been:
Bagel thin with blueberries (250 cal)
Small slice of goats cheese tart for lunch (350-400 cal)
Miso cod and green veg (400 cal)

Room for a couple of snacks etc too.

Yesterday wasn’t too bad.

Slice of toast when I got up with a cup of tea. This is a habit I’m trying to break but as I’m getting up with baby I don’t have a chance to make proper breakfast for a while and I’m starving.

Proper breakfast was banana, Greek yogurt, honey and nuts.

Lunch was frittata and salad

Dinner was veggie bean chilli, rice, guacamole and cheese.

Snack - 4 choc biscuits

I seem to mentally switch off from diets once Friday hits.

Today has been toast and peanut butter, half an oven pizza shared with dp, dinner will be pie and chips and red wine.

I’m surprised by the ww diets. I thought the ‘low fat’ food idea was pretty much nonsense? I hate ‘low fat’ alternatives, such processed nutritionally lacking crap. Give me full fat Greek yogurt over a muller bloody light any day. And don’t get me started on low fat cheese (wtf even is it?!)

To be fair no I also hate Muller lights. Watery, runny, sugary crap that fill you for 2 seconds. I have fat free Greek yogurt and it does fill you more than Muller lights. Also, the full fat stuff is relatively low in points - 3points for a 50g serving. I don't know why I don't use that instead - well I do. I sweeten it with honey and fruit anyway so using extra points for something that I don't really savour, isn't for me. Low fat cheese is rank and I use the proper version. Much nicer.

Anyway, today has been

Alpen bar and coffee (not the most empowering breakfast but it was early and I was grumpy)

Fat free Greek yogurt, raspberries, honey

Wrap with 2tbsp chicken tikka filler, with cucumber and lettuce. Bag of French fries, apple.

1 Percy big (single sweet, not bag!)
