So I've been searching and searching for what will work for me. Just a low calorie diet doesn't work. Adding more exercise doesn't work. Diet pills don't work, Green smoothies for breakfast don't work.
I went to my doctor on Monday and she said that you REALLY need to get your 5 servings of fruits and veggies daily. Our bodies really need that much.
So this week, I had a plan. First, try to cut carbs down. Second, try to get the recommended fruits and veggies per day into my diet. Here's what I've eaten all week.
Breakfast: 1 scrambled egg with a small amount of cheese and a small handful of turkey sausage on a whole wheat tortilla.
Mid morning snack: 1 pk of Belveta whole grain breakfast biscuits.
Lunch: Soup
Mid afternoon snack: Side salad
Dinner: Green smoothie
This seems to be working and I think it's easy enough to stick to for a while. I know I'm not going to be able to keep this up for the weekend, but I have a plan for the weekend. We are having company over for Dinner on Saturday so I am making a lasagna with zucchini instead of pasta noodles. And Sunday I am making dinner for my in laws, a low carb enchilada bake. So we'll see how that goes with the success I'm having with the other stuff. Wish me luck!!
