Day 3:
Breakfast:
Omelet with spinach and tomatoes
Salad with olive oil & vinegar
Lunch:
Salad with almonds, carrots, cucumbers, tahini
Dinner:
Salad (whoa I'm eating a lot of salad - but it's good) with chicken
Tahini dressing
Beverages:
Water
Day 3 Cravings: None
Day 3 Report: I ate more often today. I didn't feel any blood sugar dip. I need more of a variety in my diet. I'm eating a lot of salad with the same veggies, but not much variety throughout the day.
Day 4:
Breakfast:
Roasted almonds and apple slices
Lunch:
Sunflower patties with salad
veggie soup
Dinner:
Pizza... (cheat meal.... )
Chicken soup
Beverages: Green smoothie, water
Day 4 Cravings: After dinner I was craving...... SUGAR! The pizza (carbs) made me crave sugar around an hour after eating. No surprise there. I also have some womanly monthly cravings at the moment... CHOCOLATE, please?!
Day 4 Report: It's really hard to "diet" when having stressful moments. It's also really hard to eat totally healthy when you don't feel well. And, I can see how easy it is to 'fall of the bandwagon' for some people. Honestly, dieting is tough business. And that's why lifestyle change is more effective.
Day 5:
Breakfast:
Pizza (OOH I'M A BAD GIRL!!!!)
Kale, swiss chard, broccoli soup (does that make up for the pizza? lol)
Lunch:
Salad with meat sauce (tomatoes, organic grass-fed beef) and tahini
Dinner:
Salad with meat sauce
Chicken soup
Beverages:
Water
Day 5 Cravings: Still craving chocolate.... :)
Day 5 Reports: I got a horrible headache after breakfast. Again, not surprised. The headache subsided after I had lunch and stabilized my blood sugar with protein and veggies. No more pizza for me...
Day 6:
Breakfast:
Boiled egg
Lunch: Skipped
Dinner:
Salad with almonds
Beverages:
Water
Day 6 Cravings: None, really (see note below).
Day 6 Report: I spent the night in the emergency room last night helping a loved one. I was awake all night and was exhausted. I slept for most of the day (skipped lunch). I think I was too tired to have any cravings.
