OK- I admit it. It's easier to get back on a proper diet when you've acquired a food-borne infection and you feel ill most of the time. But now that I'm home, I'm focusing in on getting back into that shopping-cooking-eating-well mode that worked for me in 2011-2012. Even just this first week, I'm remembering some of the strategies that worked the first time I did this. One is to try to have one meal a day that features a very low calorie protein -- sliced turkey, or fish burger, or Boca Burger, or egg white omelet. This kind of meal makes it easier to stay within daily goal for both calories and cholesterol. And also spreading calories out more. So often diet articles talk about low-cal snacks. But I've figured out that for me, I'm better off splitting breakfast and lunch calories, so that I have heavier snacks and lighter meals. I don't get so hungry -- especially at dinner time -- if I've split my lunch calories across lunch and a snack. So I'm back to work in earnest. Need fans and friends!
