Sez
has started again!!
Excuse the title; its more of a mind boost thing for me really!! This is going to be my (hopefully) daily diary of my first ever attempt at Atkins!
Here goes with day one:
B/fast: Hard boiled egg, 2 slices ham (checked that not cured with any kind of sugar).
Lunch: Tuna, 2 cherry toms. half an inch cucumber, 2 leaves Romaine lettuce, 1/2 red pepper, 2 tbsps Mayo.
Snacks: Cheese string, hard boiled egg
Dinner: 1 large courgette, grilled chicken breast
Snack: 3 oz cheddar, 2 small slice ham.
4 litres water (3 so far, but will be 4!), coffee.
How does this sound please? I would value honest feedback. I think I may have over done it all round, but particularly on the veg & salad stuff. I dont have my carb counter book yet, and am not overly familiar with the cup measurements. (How do you measure a cup of salad?)
Did I eat too many calories of the protein variety too? I actually feel really hungry, but am hoping this will go once I am into ketosis.
I realised half way through today that I picked a daft week to start this, as I am booked in for a Chinese meal on Saturday. It has been arranged for ages & is a special event so I guess I am going to have to be very very careful & do the best I can. ALso, on Sunday I have my Dads 78th birthday lunch. Thankfully we a re going to a local sea food restaurant, an excellent one, where I will be able to ask for grilled whatever with a small green salad. (Just hope I can be strong when the cake arrives!!)
Thanks for you help, in advance everyone!
