Eating healthy is tough! I don’t care who says what, but it is a pain in the toushy! I beg you to tell me otherwise!
You all know I started my low carb / healthy eating as of January 6th this year. Well I have kept with my good eating habits for two weeks. I was a good girl…so good that I did not even eat any of my brother’s birthday cake on Saturday that I paid a small fortune for and let me tell you, that cake looked delicious! It smellth divine! That cake called my name so many times it was crazy. But like I said I was a good girl. Now here comes the stickler…I weighted myself yesterday and I have only lost 1 pound! Two weeks of no carbs and I lost only 1 pound! OMG…
Okay that was my rant…I am going to stick with the healthy eating for a few more weeks as I keep saying nothing happens overnight or in my case over two weeks. Patience…patience…
So what have I learned about eating healthy in the last two weeks…instead of potatoes I used celery root, which I will admit is a great substitution. Always plan your meals ahead. With low carbing you have to prepare, prepare, prepare. I eat a lot of seafood. For breakfasts, which you should never skip, I made fritata with no crust. And I ate that all week with avacados. I still went out for breakfasts on the weekends, I still had my eggs benedict, I simply left out the hashbrowns and muffins and replaced it with avacados. I did not miss the bread or the hashbrowns. But that is me everyone is different. If you just cannot do without it…simply cut it in half.
After working out each day I had a protein shake which curbed my appitite until my next meal. I am a salad freak…I love a fresh salad with anything that I am eating. If you are not a salad person, grab some carrots, some cauliflower, some brocolli, and dip into ranch dressing…great way to get those veggies in you. And last but not least…water, water, water and vitamins.
Okay so for the healthy eaters…I have a Creamy Homemade Ranch dressing and for the wild child in you I have Mozzarella stuffed Yuca Balls! Enjoy. Next up will be Cornish hens!
