Hi.. again!
So I'm back after a very long time, feel like I need support from the forum right now. I have been yo-yoing for forever now and really really want to get it sorted! It's my graduation in july, a once in a lifetime thing, and I want to look good for it! I've tried various diets over the last few years and they just (obviously!) haven't worked! So now hopefully going to take it back to basics, and just eat clean. No calorie counting, no panicking or missing out entire food groups, just eat clean, as nature intended us! I want to base my diet around lean proteins (white meat, fish, eggs), lots of veggies, some grains (lentils, quinoa, bugler wheat) some good fats (avocado :heartpump
and fruits. It seems pretty simple, and that's how I'm going to try it!
Off out shopping tomorrow to get stocked up, ready to start on Monday. Why do we always start on Mondays? Haha. Tonight I find myself out for dinner with OH so Monday sounds best for me!
Hopefully typical day will be like:
Breakfast: Porridge with almond milk or eggs and veggies
Lunch: Chicken/egg/tuna salad with lettuce, cottage cheese, peppers, etc. Or soup (without bread.. until I learn to make homemade sugar free one!) or leftovers
Dinner: I think the main thing for me to remember is not every meal has to be a 'recipe meal' if you know what I mean. Sometimes simple chicken with veg can do the trick! Favorites at the minute are chilli con carni with sweet potato, chicken curry with veggies and stir frys. Not sure which noodles I can have that are 100% clean though!
Soooo fingers crossed I'll do well. I hope so. I'm also planning on running a couple of times a week to get the exercise going.
Wish me luck! Will post tomorrow when I've done my shopping. I'm also going to start trying to add some 'super foods' to my diet, but they're just so expensive maybe one per week? Anyway. Talk tomorrow! Much love <3
