So today I started an 11 day diet. Basically it's a program that generates a meal menu for the next 11 days. 4 meals a day 3-4 hours apart.
Day #1
6:30 am: Banana & glass of milk (to prevent my stomach from causing problems during morning workout)
3 miles on elliptical
Meal #1 - 7:30 am: Scrambled eggs, small handful peanuts
Meal #2 - 11:00 am: Tuna salad, head of broccoli, green pepper
Meal #3 - 3:00 pm: Shrimp, small handful cashews, mixed veggies
Meal #4 - 7:00 pm: Broiled sea bass, 2 hard boiled eggs
I'm still satisfied. My sweet tooth kicked in a bit today and despite the cakes/cookies/etc. lying around I was able to stick to the meal plan and not eat the sweets. However, I did end up taking a small pinch of shredded cheddar from the bag that was left out on the counter - cheese seems to be as equal a temptation as sweets for me. Thankfully there is cheese in this plan so next time I think of eating it when I am not supposed to I can just tell myself to wait until the day I'm allowed to have it and not fret it.
The plan is really interesting. My dad has done it before and lost quite a bit of weight with it. He asked me to try it with him (as he does it again) - so I am giving it a go. Tomorrow 3 of the 4 meals consist of fruit - so I'll see how that goes.
