The scale is down half a pound this morning...... Yay me.
My Meal planning has changed slightly due to the things I have to avoid now that I have been diagnosed with Gall Stones.
Breakfast was Grapefruit (probably not the best choice but i have to try) and plain fat free yogurt. Seems to be sitting well and very tasty. Some of you may want to add some chopped Walnuts or Almonds. I didn't have any but would have been a good choice. About 150 calories.
Lunch was 1/2 cup Rice (I used white long grain I still just can't get into brown), 1 cup frozen mixed veggies, 1/2 cup chopped fresh zucchini and Mrs. Dash Lemon Seasoning Blend
. Lots of food and very filling. About 225 Calories.Snack was Shredded Mini Wheats with 1/2 cup of Milk. About 245 calories.
Dinner was 1/2 cup Rice, 4oz Skinless Boneless Chicken Breast, chopped, and 1 cup of frozen corn. About 310 calories.
The idea is not to be hungry. The whole concept of clean eating is no processed foods.!!! lots of Veggies. Now protein is very important and should be consumed at every meal. I will aim for this however, with my gall stones I have to be very careful right now. However at lunch you could add Some Chopped Chicken Breast or a Hard Boiled Egg.
I am gonna suggest you all read The Clean-Eating Diet by Tosca Reno (I inserted a link here to amazon.com below). She is fantastic and I will probably be referencing her often as she is true inspration. I personally think no one should go on a diet. We need to make lifestyle changes. These changes should be gradual, make them habits. Make small changes you know you can stick with!!!
My very first Change was WATER!!!! Drink lots...... I also purchased a product from Herbalife " Herbalife Herbal Concentrate Tea
" to give some flavor to my water. It is also said to give you a little energy boost which I think you need when cutting out all the carb loaded foods you're used to. Just remember we're in this together and if you have any questions please ask...........
