I never got to the concept of match box sized 7alloumi cheese for dinner, or the 1 tablespoon of diet labaneh for breakfast... I need a change.
Having heard of it quite recently from my aunt, i started googling "South Beach Diet", a diet program developed by a doctor that constitutes three phases developed for weight loss, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Within the first phase, you go without any carbs; no bread, pasta, or potatoes for an entire two weeks, while concentrating on having 3 full meals, and 2 snacks that fulfills your hunger, without stuffing yourself, roast duck style.
The importance of the first phase is in its cleansing (my comprehension) of your body, it breaks your older habits of sugar, fat, and carb frenzy, and prepares you to a healthier lifestyle, portions are not apparent, you eat to fulfill a hunger, moderately.
So this is me, documenting my first date with the the SBD...
I can officially say that i passed through my first day successfully, its 1.20 a.m., and the day has passed, no bread, no carbs wutsover, although i might add; dipping labaneh with fresh lettuce is not quite the same! something that i definitely must spend time getting used to.
The strange thing is, that am not craving bread, i have thought about it for a couple of times, but never craved it! i think its gonna show some more during the next couple of days.
Breakfast:
2 poached eggs, 1 tomato, Green Peppers.
Snack:
Almonds - blanched - 1 serving.
Lunch:
Roasted skinless boneless chicken breast with veggies.
Snack:
lettuce labaneh sandwiches :)
Dinner:
Fat Free Swiss Cheese Labaneh Rolls.
I cannot believe i made up all of those, what the hell! FAT FREE SWISS CHEESE LABANEH ROLLS... to be honest, i have had a taste for them both since my early years at school... so don't blame the diet...
Am logging off, i will be documenting my day tomorrow as well...
Ah one side note, today's starting weight was 124 KGs... lets see were i end up in two weeks... wish me luck! :)
