Right, sure I am going to stir up a hornets nest with this one but I, wisely or unwisely, decided to substitute one of my shakes per day with fish of roughly the same calorific value. As I am sure you are all aware, fish in brine or without any sauce contains no carbohydrates (where a shake has 10.7g) but double the protein.
I have now done this since Monday and as of this morning (Friday) I am 4 lbs down, what I would normally have expected.
I am finding it so easy doing this as I am having solid food, in the form of a bar for lunch (cant make shakes up at work) and then having prawns, crab or a tin of tuna when I get home from work and my last shake later in the evening.
I spoke to my councilor about this and she said thet it would lead to a slippery slope to wnting 'normal' food, but it hasn't. In fact I have become less obsessed with the whole 'weight loss syndrome and finding it almost feels normal to do it this way.
I am not looking for praise or condemnation, just be interested to hear others comments and experiences.
5 weeks nearly gone
36 lbs gone 19 still to go
BP at start 154/101
BP last Friday 130/84
So Chuffed
