Today marks day 6 in my medically assisted weightloss journey. Sunday evening I had my first craving and I made it through...
We were having dinner at my wife's parents house... It was a bit of an event... Needless to say I was expecting temptation...
Here is how I prepared... (Water, Water, Water)
Pre-exercise snack... 5 almonds and 1 serving skim milk mozzarella.
Morning Exercise: I went to the gym and did 30 minutes of cardio (20 fast uphill walking and 10 stationary bike.) I then lifted weights...
Breakfast: 2 serving of egg substitute (1/2 cup), 2 servings fat free american cheese (2 slices), 1 serving of non fat cottage cheese (1/4 cup). About 20 minutes after breakfast I had 3 large asparagus which is 2 carbs.
Lunch: 2 servings slices turkey pastrami (3 slices). 1 serving skim milk mozzarella.
Then right before leaving to go to my in-laws I had 5 almonds.
So far my daily count is 9 protein and 2 carbs... (I get to exchange nonfat cottage cheese and cheese for protein plus 10 almonds.) My doctor mentioned I could have a 5 almond snack, but it is not in my book so I will have to ask how it counts...
I brought a nonfat no sugar dressing to dinner...
Dinner:
The hors dourves... There was an unleavened pizza that looks really good, but I opted for broccoli dipped in the salad dressing I brought. I estimate I had 1 serving of broccoli.
The actual dinner was the hard part, but it was easy enough... I had just the broth of the mathza ball soup and chicken with the skin pulled off. I had a leg and thigh and ate a little more than 1/2. I also had asparagus and zucchini (both were done to perfection on the grill.)
I estimate my total count for the day being 13 protein and 5 carbs.
So what was the temptation... The unleavened pizza, the excellent wine that was served, and the matzah ball soup... Desert was not a temptation as I was full after the meal.
If you are facing a known event were temptation will be present... I encourage you to follow my example...
- WATER
- Exercise early in the day
- Eat well but within you diet before the meal leading up to the event
- Eat 5 almonds 1/2 hour prior to the temptation
- Bring you own salad dressing because you can have all the salad you can eat
