Mia's Food Diary (Red days)

[Red Riding Hood]

I think I'll find them difficult. I have one red day planned out for next week. I'm not sure I can do a whole week. I'll have to see how the weight loss goes. Carb cravings are the worst though. I think it's a lot of people's downfall, for me it's bread every time. I've been mostly trying to avoid it.

 

[mia_angel]

Me too, i love potatoes, bread and pasta and i just cant loose weight unless they are controlled portions....so its not very interesting on red days. You could do 4 days green and 3 red, but you are loosinf weight so just keep doing what you are now! x

I did a red day today Mia, for the first time and it wasn't so bad . I think I might do it again. I thought I'd be hungry but I'm not at all.

How was the SW KFC you did? Was it any good? and how are you getting on? x

 

[mia_angel]

Hello hun

Its going good! I do struggle with lunch sometimes as i dont always want eggs, chicken, ham etc....think i might make some soups.

I didn't like the KFC chicken it was really salty, but i might try it again with not so much chicken stock paste and using thighs as the breast was really dry.

I really enjoyed my desert last night, i was so nice

Some people have mentioned the quorn burgers are really nice and some are free, which i didnt know about so im going to get some for tonights dinner see what they are like x

I like the sound of that. I think I'll try it on my next red day.

Quorn burgers are nice and your dessert the other night sounded extremely nice. I must invest in some mini meringues.
