Hi I've been on my healthy eating plan for 4 weeks now and in total I have lost 12 lbs. I am 18 stone so I have a long way to go. In the past I tried slimming world but felt I had no portion control and then weight watchers but got fed up with the weighing of everything that passed my lips. I decided that I wasn't going to do any of that this time. Instead I eat healthy options, I eat in moderation, I weigh some things out but not every little thing. So far so good. My average menu looks like this:
Breakfast, weetabix and one slice of whole meal toast with a topping, this could be organic peanut butter, banana, jam, etc
Lunches include ham/chicken salads (lettuce, cherry tomatoes, beet root, a little coleslaw, sugar snap peas), some days I have chicken and rice with some salad, individual weight watchers quiche and salad, baked potatoe with topping
Dinners include tuna pasta, chilli, fish, spaghetti bolognaise, chicken, with these ill usually have a little portion of baby potatoes and loads of veg except the chilli and spag Bol
Snacks are fruit, rice cakes, fat free yogurt
If I crave crisps then snack a jacks help that and if I crave chocolate I have a 2 finger kit kat or a Jaffa cake.
I also drink 2 litres of water a day, one litre is just water the other litre is water with no added sugar diluting juice. If I have tea I've swapped my 2 sugars to one sweetener or I have green tea.
Do you think I'm on the right track?
