Day 43

Note: I'm having a hard time approving comments. I'm not ignoring you but I get an error!



Yea... I'm having a hard time jumping back on this bandwagon. I've looked over 4 different plants to consider. I think I'm leaning towards Insulin Resistance Diet. My doctor recommended that when I became pregnant because I needed a lower carb version. But I thought of doing a more modified version of IRD.

Perhaps less carbs, but still the lower fat options instead of full fat options. Instead of regular eggs, try and eating Egg Beaters. Not all the time because they're just too bleh for me!

So instead of 2 regular eggs every day, maybe an egg and an egg beater. Or Two egg Beaters one day and 2 eggs the next. I'd like to start eating 1 egg and an overload of veggies/mushrooms with some light cheese. I'll give that a shot tomorrow and see what happens.

I like the idea of the IR diet. In the back of the book, it gives you fast food options that are GOOD on this plan. All under a certain amount of fat/calories and especially carbs and proteins combined. Pretty neat.

But I can't do another big grocery shopping until this weekend so I'll continue doing Atkins for the remainder of the week and start over again. Wish me luck!

Breakfast-

  • 2 eggs
  • cheddar
  • mushrooms
  • ketchup - I need to find a low carb option. They have the no sugar/low sugar carb option so I think I'll add that to my list of things to buy.
Lunch-

  • 1 seasoned chicken breast
  • Broccoli
  • Pad of butter-
  • TINY bit of ranch.
  • See I'm cutting out the cheese because the chicken was phenominal. Love my George Foreman Grill and the way I spiced it, I don't need the addition of cheese.
Snack-

  • BabyBel- Light
Dinner-

  • Steak
  • Veggies

Update: We ended up going to the mall for dinner. It was too late to cook steak and I had the chicken teriyaki stir fry with all veggies no rice. Yum!
