And so, with a new week ahead, a new commitment to a healthy diet.
Breakfast - Fruit, coffee, milk
Lunch - 350 cal frozen dinner
Dinner - 1 can Progresso soup, large salad, 2 handfuls plain almonds.
Not hungry after dinner :-)
A blog by a doctor who loves to cook but wants to lose weight and be healthier by practicing what he preaches. Hopefully by recording my progress publicly, I will be more aware of my diet and exercise and may help some others in the process.
Hey, you're doing great! Weight is a hard one, and you can't get it off until you make the commitment. My husband has recently lost a lot of weight through portion control and cutting back on sodas. It's all about keeping track, and committing to limit yourself.
ReplyDeleteI also suggest to people that if they want to lose weight, to become a vegetarian. I lost a ton of weight when I switched over, and I really had none to lose at the time. Although, you still have to fill the void with veggies and fruits, not junk food. These foods digest so much easier, and don't hang around like meat does in our systems.
Either way, sounds like you're on the right track.
You know, I am not one to starve myself, but I am feeling well on the diet, and energy level is good, when I get sleep, which is an unavoidable fact of life as an OB.
ReplyDeleteWhen I grab some nuts as a snack I am getting at least 2-300 calories. If I have had a decent meal and am still hungry, I fill up on raw veggies or fruit, eating until I feel satisfied.
The biggest thing I am not doing is eating high calorie snacks after dinner. That is cutting at least 1000 cal a day from my old diet, which I think accounts for most of the weight loss.
At present I am down almost 15 pounds and can see it and feel it.
Thanks for the concern though! ;-)
