Hoping this will kick start my metabolism. I'm exercising, I eat pretty well...lots of fruits and vegetables which I grow in my garden. I've been stuck at this weight +/- 3 lbs. for years, since menopause. All my blood tests are great, blood pressure is great, etc. I'm healthy, but my self esteem is suffering. So I'm going to try this.
I decided to do a fast day for Day 1 to see how it goes, if I think I can do it. It's been easy! I am a morning eater, morning exerciser, morning person. So I had a dense breakfast (Greek yogurt, bran buds, blueberries) and it lasted me well, even after a mile of interval training (walk two minutes, jog 1 minute.) My usual 2 cups of coffee with FF half and half. Vitaminwater Zero and regular water. I had four baby carrots for a snack...did the trick to carry me to lunch.
Lunch was a wedge salad with a small tomato, 1 T bacon bits (could have done without...I'm not that fond of bacon) and ranch dressing made with Greek yogurt. Bowl of "Cat Food" which is something I ate when I was working for quick energy...it's essentially tuna and cottage cheese with some type of seasoning. Will have a swim this afternoon.
Tonight I'm still deciding what I'll do...smoothie, mushroom soup or cauliflower and a boiled egg, turkey and roasted broccoli? I am not hungry at night, so I'm leaning toward a smoothie.
I'd love to hear favorite menu items from others. I like variety.
