The past weekend affected my diet in a nasty way, but I am slowly getting back on track again. I saw some friends I had not seen in a long time and went on a mini holiday with them. I had a blast, but my weight went up as a result… Hardly surprising after all the cocktails and delicious dining, but still very frustrating.
I am heading towards the right direction though – on Monday morning, my weight was 57,2 kg and this morning, it was down to 56,9 kg. It isn’t a significant loss, but I am happy for it. Truth be told, my weight might have been lower had I not noticed the small cube of Parmigiana Reggiano cheese in my fridge last night… I need to get a grip again!
Today, I have been on a PP diet. I think I may have another PP day tomorrow just to ensure I am back on track. And, regarding cheese: my plan is to just buy the low-fat (9%) cheese that I don't quite love. Clearly I cannot be trusted with full fat cheese yet… Or maybe ever. We’ll see.
Menu of the Day (PP, planning ahead):
- Fat-free natural yoghurt with rhubarb vanilla yoghurt and oat bran
- 2 cups of black coffee
- Chicken pieces with fat free cottage cheese and some sesame seeds
- Grilled chicken breast and fat free cottage cheese
- 1 small cheesecake cupcake
- 1 cup of rooibos tea

P.S. I just read in the news that the sweetener stevia will be legal in the EU from December onwards! I am not really familiar with it except for seeing it mentioned on some American Dukan recipes. I really want to try it, because according to my understanding, stevia's sweetness is not temperature-bound so it retains its sweetness after baking as well. It does sound a bit too good to be true though...
Ive heard good things about Stevia too - i know you can buy the plant but I haven't seen the sweetener anywhere yet but am looking out for it! maybe just buy the grated parmesan? then a little goes along way, if I grate or curl it myself I end up eating alot more than if I used the powdery stuff...just a thought!
ReplyDeleteI just saw your before-and-after pictures -- wow wow wow! You look amazing -- very happy & beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteI am very, very excited about being able to uise Stevia again ... I miss it since I don't have access to it anymore. It's great, and tastes WAY better than other sweeteners
ReplyDeleteI find Stevia quite a strange sweetener... it's very very sweet in a kind of artificial way, but is from a plant?!?! We can get it in NZ but it's very expensive for such a small jar, but in saying that, you don't need much of it, so that's good.
ReplyDeleteI can't be trusted with chocolate in the house I've decided, even raisins are a bit of a risk. If I know it's there, it's very hard to get that thought out of my brain until I'm eating it... Sigh. Even cooking chocolate isn't safe...
