My first meal was the slim down scramble again. After eating it though, I realized I was supposed to have a protein pancake. It pays to read over the plan each day, which I will now be doing.
This is an egg white scramble with mushrooms, spinach, and Ms. Dash for seasoning. I drank a large cup of water with this meal.
Remember that you need to consume about half your body weight in water. They recommend getting at least 90 ounces of water in a day while on the slim down. This has not been trouble for me. The more water I drink, the more I want to consume.
Meal 2 consisted of grapes this morning. I am trying to use up the fruits I had in the fridge.
After this meal, I was extremely hungry. Tried to drink water to take the edge off. Helped a little. I will also tell you that my energy level was almost non-exist at this point. I feel this happens when I cut out all carbs from my diet. The first couple of days are bad and then I get my energy back. I think everyone is different though.
Meal 3 was switched for meal 4. I ate my snack before my salad because I was still so hungry. I ended up having carrots and some hummus.
Next I ate my salad. This ended up being very good. I had the Morningstar crumbles which I added Ms Dash Southwest Chipolte seasoning. Heated the crumbles in the microwave and then topped on the salad with lettuce, zucchini, squash, mushrooms, and sugar snaps. It was really delicious.
I also did these exercises to the best of MY ability. I was like Karena. Kept falling off.
These were actually fun. Wish I was on the beach like K&K though.
My dinner ended up being the fish packets that I had last night. They were very easy and really tasty so I though why not do the same thing.
Wow. It looks like you have to eat a lot of times on this diet. I would probably like that. But I understand when you get tired of eating. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThe reason you felt so hungry after Meal 2 may have been because it was fruit - it spikes your blood sugar. My nutritionist actually had me take all fruit out of my diet so I could see how I felt when I started eating it again. I'm a bit insulin-resistant (lots of Type II diabetes in my family, although I do not have it) and fruit spikes my blood sugar, making me hungry all the time. If I pair it with a protein (and count it as my carb), it helps. Now I just mindfully eat fruit - realizing any hunger after it may not be real. Thank you for these posts!
