I have no special way of eating. I am avoiding binges first, since I figured that if I could control that, and special diet would be useless. In the times I tried low carb and somersize, that is what I found. I have been trying to control portions so that I avoid that overstuffed feeling in general, so that I won't think of that as almost normal if I start a binge.
My normal diet is low on bread, I have a sandwich, toast, or wrap only once every two days. I also only eat whole grains. Not much for cereal. For brekkie, either omelette or low fat high fibre cereal with skim milk. (thinking of trying kashi go lean to keep me full longer)
Lunch is often a frozen meal in microwave, I use blue menu foods a lot. These are low fat meals, and often whole grain foods. Seafood marina on whole wheat spaghetti, chicken korma or low fat butter chicken on rice, seafood papillote, etc. These meals typically have about 300 cals.
Supper is harder, since the time is variable, and family doesn't always help. My daughter often doesn't eat lunch at school, so scarfs down food when she gets home. My husband will cook sometimes, but not regularly. Trying to plan meals with everyone's schedule is difficult.
I love veggies so always include them in the meal.
Have been trying to control snacking, but avoiding getting too hungry in the evening to avoid binging. Getting too hungry is a recipe for disaster for me, it really does lead to overeating, eating to fast, and ultimately bingeing. I realize why people say you
have to eat to lose weight.
with my hypoglycemia, i get to feeling sick if I get too hungry, and later go wild for the worst foods.
A couple of times a week I have meals out because of work. I am trying to make sure portions are reasonable and that I have healthy foods. Avoiding deep fried, fatty stuff, desserts.
Thats why I am discouraged. This is my normal diet, but less, and not losing consistently is a bummer. I think I will start a food diary, its suggested all over the site, and I can see why it would be good.Make me accountable for every bite.
Made me notice the little bits that will make a difference
