Hi all,
Been cutting back/ low carbing over the past few weeks and feeling much better for it. Not sticking to any specific plan as such just trying to eat as naturally as possible, have 3 mainly protein based meals a day, trying to avoid snacking between meals and if I do want a snack I'm trying to stick to fruit or nuts and sometimes the odd yogurt. I also like to keep an eye on calories although i do find putting everything into mfp quite tedious so i really do try to just eat when hungry and apply common sense. Really trying to cut down on sugar as this was/is a big vice of mine! Now I'm not perfect and realise there is more to life so I hope to enjoy social occasions without guilt but I won't allow myself to become a glutton
I'm almost at my target weight so low carbing is a way for me to drop the last few pounds and then maintain. It's an experiment and journey for me and my diary will be a way to record what works and what doesn't. when I'm at my target my goal is 1. To maintain. 2. Reduce my body fat percentage through exercise( I use kettlebells)
I want to be at my target but more importantly I want to feel great and look toned and healthy. I don't want to spend my days fretting about what I'm eating and counting things, I just don't have the self discipline for that! I want to enjoy social occasions without guilt and enjoy food yet I don't want to be a slave to it if that makes sense!!
Anyways I'm rambling now..... Food today has been.....
Brekkie- 2 eggs fried in olive oil.
Lunch- feta cheese , cherry tomato, avocado and olive salad with some balsamic dressing.
Dinner- not the best- ended up having a 1/4 of pepperoni pizza.
Snacks- 4 gherkins, 25g cashew nuts.
