Another tough day
.
B. Allbran with ss milk and one boiled egg.
L. Veg soup and one boiled egg.
2pm starving, stomach growling away.
3.30pm home early -boiled egg, 4 slices of luncheon meat.
D. 5pm couldn't wait any longer, chilli con carne without kidney beans, cauli rice, gave in and had a pitta bread with it. Followed by jelly and cream AND a small bar of dark choc. Bg post 2h 6.5
can't decide whether to really drop the carbs and see how I get on or whether im just not eating enough during the day?
Hi,
You are following the classic pattern that I pioneered when I tried to cut down:
I used to start each day with the most fantastic, virtuous intentions, but by late afternoon I would have eaten a small elephant. Dipped in breadcrumbs. And deep fried.
I'm actually astonished by your self control (no irony intended).
I would have fallen head first into a takeaway after that breakfast and lunch...
I've no idea if that it too many carbs for you, but it would be too many for me. But then I have a v low carb tolerance.
But I'm certain that is too little food (esp fat) at brekkie and lunch. So you are left wanting to chew furniture.
Sorry if I sound critical. I don't mean to. And believe me, I've been there!
How about trying, for one day:
Bacon and 2 scram eggs for breakfast (use cream instead of milk in the eggs). No carbs.
Time how long it takes you to get hungry.
Then at lunch, have the soup, and the egg, but add a good wodge of grated cheese.
Time how long it takes before you get hungry.
I'm hoping that will give you a more controlled approach vector to your evening meal.
The evening meal looks great, by the way. And that pitta (or half?) may be within you personal carb tolerance.
Ooh. Another tip you may find helps - a cup of broth, or coffee, with a dash of cream in it has an almost magical soothing effect on hunger/cravings. You can adjust the cream quantities for your personal fat targets, but try it - it may help a lot.
Hope that helps!
- pity cos its one of the cheaper flour alternatives..
