I've been doing pro points for about 6 weeks now and I've been struggling to get my points up to my daily allowance as I don't eat a lot of carb foods. The trouble I've had is that I don't lose weight if I'm under my daily points but in order to get them up to my full 33 each day I'm having to add in more pasta and rice etc which I then only lose 1/2lb a week despite being 100% every day each week.
So after much discussion with my leader I've decided to give Simply Satisfying a try this week as it fits a little bit better into the foods that I prefer to eat. Looking at what I eat normally I seem to have been falling somewhere between the two different diets - I've been having too many weekly points for Simply Satisfying but not enough points for Pro Points so switching to the SS method may well work better for me.
Anyway - looking at what I'm going to eat this next week I'm absolutely fine for breakfast and dinner without needing to change much as I have a lot of smoothies, fruit salads, boiled egg and porridge for breakfast and for dinner tend to eat fish, white meat and vegetables without the pastas or rices and often without potatoes but I can add those in without a problem. Last night for example I had pork escalope cut into strips and stir fried with a whole load of veg such as baby sweetcorn and pak choi and I'm more than happy with that.
The one I'm struggling with is lunch. I can't eat bread other than very limited amounts of the WW breads so sandwiches aren't really on the menu and I'm kind of getting sick of tuna or ham salad.
Is anyone else doing the Simply Satisfying route and what kind of things do you eat?
