Here we go then!
Having tried a number of diets I now feel that I have pretty much proved to myself that they don't work. I think this is mainly because they all feel in different ways that you are simply denying yourself something.
Healthy eating is different as it is simply about choices. I can choose what I eat and it is my intention to wherever possible make them healthy choices. Also, this path doesn't have to come to an end like most diet plans do so I won't be constantly wishing the time away!
I started this on Monday and so far so good! Only issue has been I've had to take a three day course of steroids for asthma - and if there is anything that is going to keep you wide awake all night and hungry then that will do it!
So to prepare for that I made sure I had lots of chopped up fruit in the fridge for snack attacks and found a whole lot of jobs I could do around the house for those long nights spent wide awake. My kitchen and bathroom cupboards have had the best clean out of their lives!
Have enjoyed all my food today.....
Breakfast - very nutty muesli skimmed milk and a banana
Lunch - Chicken and egg (which came first?) salad
Dinner - Sweet chilli salmon brown rice and veg
Was all lovely and healthy yet at each meal I thought about how it would have fitted in with any previous diet plans and I came to the conclusion they are too restrictive and not necessarily very healthy at all!
Hope everyone is having a good day - it's really nice to see this board getting a little busier and with so many nice people!
