Ah! Ok, today is the last day of my trial. I'll tell you what, I could not do that long term!
That's probably one of my cons. There wasn't enough food during lunch, i had to supplement and found that I was starting to get huge cravings for carbs or sweet stuff during the late morning and early afternoon.
The best thing was the dinners (and desserts)!! They were huge portions, definitely wasn't expecting that!! They were fabulous, didn't taste like diet food at all!
I had sweet & sour chicken with cashews and white rice for dinner on Tuesday, and I got a cranberry chip cookie and 1 cup of milk for dessert! It was extremely tasty and the chicken was so juicy!
Wednesday was Red Chicken with Rosemary and Cherry Tomatos with new potatoes and broccoli. I had sticky toffee pudding for dessert, and it wasn't a tinsy portion! Perfectly sized!! ^____^
Best of all was dinner last night, I had Spaghetti Bolognase with whole wheat pasta and a very generous platter of fruit!
In comparison, the lunches were sorry, I found myself supplementing by adding in scrambled eggs or extra slices of lunch meat. It did give me a better idea of portion sizes though. I usually do way too much side dish whenever I cook, I realize this now!
My blood sugar has been constantly low, with morning sugar levels in the 8-11 range, but I guess I did not adjust my insulin doses enough for the diet change. I am treating myself to a portion of curly fries for lunch! lol!! :
It was still fun to try!
