Amychelle87 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Made it 19 days and then fell off the wagon. I'm hoping that keeping up with what I'm eating via this forum that I'll be able to go all the way. Breakfast included two eggs and a cup of sliced mushrooms cooked omlete style in ghee. With a side of fresh blueberries and strawberries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted April 4, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hi, Amy. Good for you for getting right back to it and not letting this derail you completely. You might find that increasing your meal size can actually help you overcome cravings and help keep you from getting off track in the future. When eggs are your only protein, have as many whole eggs as you can hold in your hand, which is probably three or four. One cup of veggies is the bare minimum you should have at a meal, so maybe add some more to your omelette, or fix yourself a side of some kind. Potatoes or sweet potatoes or other root vegetables cooked like hash browns or home fries, or a big pile of sauteed greens, or a salad. Whatever sounds good. You could also add a little more fat -- a handful of olives, some avocado, some kind of sauce over your omelette. I'd also say really pay attention to how you feel when you have fruit with breakfast. Some people find they are hungrier throughout the day or have more cravings when they have fruit with their first meal, so that might be something to play with and see if you end up preferring to have it later in the day.

Amychelle87 Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Lunch today was chicken salad made with homemade mayo on top of a bed of baby spinach. Along with my water throughout the day I also had an iced black coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amychelle87 Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Last nights dinner was baked chicken in a lime and cilantro sauce, also some asparagus baked in the same dish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schimki Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Cool! I'm also starting back over. I made it one week, felt great, then had a couple of social eating commitments that derailed me. I'm excited to hop back on that train, too. Also, that hamburger for breakfast is SUCH a good idea. I'm inspired since I'm not a big sausage fan and could very possibly get sick of eggs.
