Big Weigh-in this morning. We stood on the scales and Vin says he has lost 8lbs, and I have lost 9lbs. That is 17lbs between us..or 8 bags of sugar, or 34 packets of butter/lard. Put that way it is good going.
Tips:
Low-fat works, use Fry Light instead of dollops of oil. I've barely used tyhe oil bottle in the month.
Portion control, weigh out the carbs, 4oz of potatoes each, or 4oz of pasta between us.
Fill up plates with veggies,
Alcohol watch, have Spritzers with diet lemonade instead of glasses of wine.
Cheese care, go very easy on the cheese especially at the weekend lunches. We have been having Hummus instead or spready cheese.
Crisps, we still have crisps but the low-cal types,
Cakes..not home-made, nice as they are, we have been having calorie counted cake bars instead.
So there it is, those are a few that have come to mind no doubt there are many more, but these are the ones we have found work for us.
It is also important not to call it a diet..my husband insists that diets don't work, so we are on a "Healthy Eating Plan".
Now, tonight we are having:
Quorn Escallopes, not sure what variety.
4oz potatoes possibly dry fried,
Vegetables..frozen or whatever Vin comes in with from Tesco.
