I had oatmeal with blueberries for breakfast.
Lunch was 1/2 a Subway Italian BMT on whole wheat and baked BBQ chips. No condiments on this. I had a little vanilla icecream for desert with chocolate syrup.
Afternoon snack was a McDonalds ice cream cone.
Dinner---Taco salad with extra lean beef, lettuce, tomatoes, a tiny bit of chips, sour cream and pinapple salsa. a couple of chips with this. Yum.
And a pint of ale. Not good for weight loss or meds, but I'm stressing out and I really don't indulge often.
I have lost a lot of weight--best advice is to eat about 1200 calories a day and to exercise. Gotta do both!
I've been eating breakfast, lunch and dinner and watching what I go back for seconds on. Also been walking everyday in the evening.
Gonna start today out with some oatmeal and end it with spaghetti tonight for dinner. I just had a md appt and asked her why these AP's seem to make it so hard to lose the extra weight and she said they screw around with our blood sugar. Didn't go into details as that was enough info for me!! I think watching what you eat is a great idea and since the summer heat is dwindling a great time for all of us to get moving!!! ox
low carbs
moderate exersise
water 8 glasses/day
Eat in small portions, but don't get carried away.
I've heard that Atkins might be okay, but if you have the money, check with a nutritionist or MD first.
- WELCH's, NOT wine!! LMAO!!!!
I always abstain alcohol when depressed! :)
