Interesting Favadi. I live in Abu Dhabi, so lamb here is dirt cheap, and luckily I love lamb! I generally think most of our meat and veg is fairly naturally organic as it's sourced from local farms in the UAE, Saudi and Oman which don't produce the type of mass amounts that farms in the West do.
Now is our BBQ seasons, with the weather finally getting cool enough to sit outside, and I'm afraid I succumb and had 2 beer last night while sitting outside (I had no wine in the house). I think the only thing I'm really having a hard time adjusting too is no beer.
The rest of the weekend was pretty successful IMHO though, as was all of last week. I'm not sure if I feel like I'm losing weight though. :/ However, this could still be the effects of AF (I tend to bloat the week before and the week of. Blah).
Butter and whipping cream are my fats of choice, as I've no idea what to do with coconut oil! LOL. I really need to look for some more low carb recipes.
Generally my days are like this:
2 scrambled eggs with a bit of goat cheese for breakfast (today I added spinach and sundried tomatoes) and a coffee with a bit of sugar and cream (can't cut out my sugar in coffee, been trying for years).
2 baby bel cheeses as a snack before the gym
(1 hour & 45 minutes at the gym 5 days a week).
A bit of Chicken, Lamb or beef sausage for lunch with a salad and a diet coke. Although thinking of dumping the meat for just a big Greek Salad.
Dinner is chicken, lamb, steak, fish or bacon with lots of veg (green leafy stuff, or broccoli or zucchini, or seaweed with the fish). If I can I had a nice buttery sauce, with a glass of full fat milk.
Loads of water throughout the day.
The weekends I switch scrambled eggs for a medium sized bowl of berries & cashews with whipped cream, and since I don't exercise on the weekends I don't really snack or even eat much of a lunch usually but rather a bigger dinner.
If the above is any good, I feel like this is almost too easy.
