UNLEASHING THE BEAST!
Well here goes.
I'm Lexie. I'm 31 and a mother to 1 very active toddler. I have PCOS. This combined with a lot of weight gain is making trying to get to 2 very active toddlers/children near impossible. My cycles are erratic and the GP won't help me until I lose weight.
Which, is easier said than done. I've tried Slimming World, I've tried VLCD and whilst they've been fine in their own way not given my the fix or right fit I've been looking for. After much examination of my eating habits I've looked at Paleo and giving it a go as I want to FEEL better and not be so focused on my cycle of gain weight, lose weight, gain weight, lose weight, gain weight - OH F**K IT. It's also complicated by the fact I'm a Nightshift worker, and can often be awake for almost 24 - 30 hours at a stretch which is stressing my body out and I'm finding it very hard to lose weight.
I'm just starting and find all the fats/protein/carb ratio advice a bit conflicting. So to start with I'm trying to eat more HEALTHILY and LOSE weight, so my fat intake might not be as high as expected on some plans. Starts weight this morning is 15stone and 12.8 lbs.
So thanks for reading and here goes.
Day 1:
B- Salad of raw spinach, melon, chicken thigh, mushrooms
L: Chicken breast (leftovers), 2 slices bacon, mushrooms, chinese leaf, coffee with Almond milk
D: Chilli made with 20% fat beef mince, chillies (Ancho, Pasilla and chipotle), bone broth instead of stock/water, served with mushrooms, spinach, peppers, onions
S: 10 almonds,
According to MFP my intake for today is:
1192 cals, 40g carbs, 71g fat and 106g protein.
