Wow, nice plans, mine kinda looks horrible compaired to yours!
Now remember, I'm on a low carb plan
Breakfast:
4 scrambled eggs
1 protien shake
Lunch:
8 small sausage links (hot)
1 protien shake
Snack:
about 35 cashews
celery sticks with ranch dressing
Dinner:
crab legs
That's it. I'm very full, didn't even finish all my crab legs. I'll finish them tomorrow. And I will have to drink extra water with all the salt in the crab legs.
No, not at all. As you can see, during the afternoon and evening (my worst snacking times), I eat every couple of hours. I never really get hungry any more at all. If my husband wants to go out to eat, I've learned that I can eat half of a Blackened Chicken Salad at Applebee's with no dressing and no eggs, and it still keeps me in my calorie range for the day.
Dana,
Yes, that's an average day. I stay between 830-850 calories a day. I know it's low, but it's working for me and my doctor is keeping an eye on me. I really don't get hungry any more and it keeps me motivated that the weight is coming off quickly.
Well I think "whatever works" is the magic words. If it's something you can keep up month in month out then great, if not well then you find something you can do long term. Congrats on your awesome weight loss, Your edging ever nearer to the 100lb mark - Well done!
We are all individuals and as such are plans vary alot, as long as you can keep it up without binging and giving up well that's the main thing. Good luck,
