Last week didn't go as well as I'd hoped! The lack of protein available where I was working and an inability to get to some and the long days really hampered me. I must admit that I did expect to loose more this week and I was quite down hearted and thought about doing another diet. Then I re read some of the book and blow me it said that when you add the vegetables back in to the diet quite often the weight will stay the same or even go up! I had anticipated doing the 1/1 rota but that just didn't work last week so I'm going to give the 5 days on the protein a go just to kick start it again. I do feel better now and resolve to continue.
Something will have to give and I need to be a bit more creative on the dishes. Something I'm going to try is lining a quiche tin with some lean corned beef, baking it blind and then filling it with chicken, lean ham and herbs and onions, then whipping up some eggs and plain yogurt and pouring it over. Hopefully it will come out looking like quiche.
The other thing that also might have made the difference is that I didn't eat alot last week and when I watched "the biggest loser" the other night one team hadn't been eating and didn't loose as much as the other teams. The specialists explained that it's the bodies defence mechanism and if we don't put enough fuel inside it will hold on to the fat reserves as it thinks it's going into a period of hardship!
