Hey @PlantDoctor
I’m on Ozempic which I’ve been very lucky with. I worked out my BMR and stick to a daily calorie limit to stay within a calorie deficit.
I’ve been eating very healthily with lots of fruit and veg, and drink two liters of water a day. I can’t really stomach white bread anymore which is great as I used to eat far too much of it, and I no longer eat chocolate, crisps, or desserts. I also don’t drink calories (except for red wine at the weekends).
I’m quite restrictive in terms of calories, but the Ozempic means I don’t want to eat much anyway.
I do need to exercise more. I really struggle with it.
A typical day of food for me looks like-
Breakfast
Two protein Weetabix with skimmed milk, a banana
or
Big bowl of mixed fruit with low fat Greek yogurt
or
Bowl of porridge made with skimmed milk, protein powder, cinnamon and raisins.
Lunch
Vegetable soup with brown bread
or
Chicken salad with quinoa and vegetables
or
Poached eggs with labneh, spinach, and some mini pitas
For dinner, I’m not as strict but try to not overeat portion-wise. On Tuesday night I had three slices of pizza as we were out, last night I had a vegetable stirfry with brown rice, tonight it’s a turkey burger and some homemade chips done in the airfryer.
I try not to snack but will have fruit and yogurt if I need something.
I tend to feel slightly hungry before meals but generally don’t feel deprived of food at all.
