I like hard boiled eggs which makes things easy. Filling, not many calories, and can be kept in the fridge. I have been surprised to the extent that I have lost interest in red meat. Instead its chicken or fish. After reading Mosley's healthy gut book, I am trying to up the amount of oily fish I eat.
(One thing I noted from the gut book is how strong tasting many of the recommended foods are. You really can eat a small amount of very dark chocolate, rocquefort, or mackerel. Throw in a bit of cider vinegar beforehand and sugar cravings are largely gone. )
DH is part of my problem. Before anyone says LTB, he is very nice. However he is a feeder. I was effortlessly slim till I got married. On Saturday he was doing the shopping. He ask what I wanted and I suggested I would like something for Monday lunchtime, either a small piece of chicken, some prawns, some salmon or some mackerel. He goes and buys everything, and large quantities at that. Within about a 10 minutes walk we have 2 M&S, 2 Waitrose, 2 Sainsbury's, one Morrisons, 2 Tescos and more. Plus 2 Itsu's, 4 Nandos and countless Pret's. He works next to a vast Waitrose so will pick up anything we need on his way home. I am not going to starve.
He is thin, I am not.
I guess I will have to be disciplined and ignore the fridge. He can take stuff in for lunch. I remind me of how much I used to loath an otherwise nice colleague, possibly anorexic, who used to bring all sorts of treats in from home. Cake, uneaten Easter chocolate, etc, leave it at the end of my desk and then go on about how fat she was (not at all) whilst I scoffed. But I can't do much about other people. I just need to develop some willpower.
