Mood: hungry
For the last nine days, I've been on a tough weight reduction program that has resulted in a 10 lbs loss.
The weight shed has actually been too rapid so I've went to the next diet step where I can have more foods.
Here's the highlights of the diet, I've been on:
Breakfast: 1 cup of warm lemon water, 1 scoop of protein/mineral supplement in a rice base blended with frozen berries of any kind and mixed with water/vanilla almond milk as needed.
Snack: Apple, pear and a handful of almonds and pumkin seeds
Lunch: Heary salad(any vegetable)with a protein: beans, chicken breast, tuna or tofu; OR (Amy's Organic Soup)
Snack: Raw carrots and celery sticks in a dip made with Renee's Wellness Dressing, Orange
Dinner: Protein: Any fish, tuna burgers, turkey/chicken breasts Carbohydrates: Sweet potato, brown rice Vegetables: Steamed, raw, frozen, salad
After dinner: Fruit, grapes, strawberries, apples) AND Herbal Tea(chamomile, passionflower)
I was also exercising for 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
There isn't any cereal, bread or potato with this diet, but I kept on it and achieved a good result.
These days you can't take good health for granted. You have to work at it.
I still have, at least, 15 more pounds to lose. I'll post a blog entry later of my progress with the new diet which doesn't take pounds off as fast.
