I have been doing really well with The Gilmore Girls Diet so far. I have definately modified some things, but that's okay since I wrote the plan! :-)
For example, when I started this diet I was planning on having a weekly "movie night" where I would eat anything without counting for it. Just one weekly splurge meal while watching a movie, like the Gilmore Girls do.
I have yet to actually do this! I don't need to. I am allowing myself to eat all of my favorite foods on a daily basis, so I am not feeling deprived or anything by the end of the week. Which to me just reassures me that this diet is working.
I may, however, still enforce my "movie night" rule at any time. It may turn into a monthly thing, or a "when I feel like it" thing. Definately not weekly!
I have been counting calories and fat grams during this diet, and I think that this has helped me to focus on portion control more than anything. Which is another good thing. I hope to eventually be done with counting in general, and to just know what a portion looks like and just know when I've eaten enough for the day.
It will take awhile to get there, though, and for now I still need to plan. Speaking of which, here's today's basic plan:
breakfast: 1 small banana, 1 pop tart
lunch: 1 lean cuisine pizza, 15 baked lays, 1 cup grapes
dinner: 1 cup tomato soup, grilled cheese sandwich (light wheat bread with 2% rf cheese slice), side salad
snacks: 2 girl scout Samoa cookies, 1 bag 94% ff popcorn, baby carrots with salsa
exercise: 30 minutes Curves circuit, 35 minutes gazelle (cardio)
