3 ounces curried chicken over a bed of 4 ounces curried cabbage, 1 medium apple, 1 sour dough melba toast, cup of herbal tea (black chai - my favorite!!) and cold water - of course!
Does this look boring? Yes but it is so worth it as I only eat like this during this phase, which lasts 40 days at a time. Here is a fish dish I was very inventive with!
I had a wonderful cut (3.5 ounces, pre-cooked) of mahi-mahi. I washed it and didn't dry it (as I can't have/use any oil) and put my melba toast in a food processor to grind it down to "bread crumb" size. Then mixed in my spices into the bread crumbs and "breaded" my fish. I baked it for 30 minutes on 425 degrees - along with my asparagus. It was DELISH!!! Loved this meal and will definitely have it more often!I have truly realized with this diet/way of living that we are the only ones in control of ourselves. Yes, T-Man loves his carbs, the girls love their ice cream and french fries, my hubby eats low-carb so he indulges in cheese (one of my weaknesses) and the bestie munches on hummus and crackers (our favorite midnight/Bachelorette snack) but I choose not to eat these foods. I choose to be healthy, thinner, more confident, enjoy shopping for clothes and most of all - I enjoy seeing that number go down each and every morning! Am I tempted? Of course I am but the alternative is such a greater pull for me: being thin and healthy.
I truly love this diet, love how I feel on it and I am making this my way of living. I am learning not to munch out of boredom, from being upset or in celebration. I eat to live; I no longer live to eat.
I hope everyone is having a great summer and taking time out for YOU!
Be true to you!
Hugs,
Heather
