Hi guys!
Am just beginning my first day on the diet today. We are planning our first attempt in September (if PPAF ever comes back!) but I would like to lose a fair bit of weight to get down to my lowest conception weight (about 10kg away) so am doing it for 3 months before my first attempt. My plan for today:
An apple for morning tea, peppermint tea
Lunch: One piece of mountain bread with ricotta, leeks and nutmeg in it, one piece of mountain bread with low sugar strawberry jam, a low fat yoghurt
Dinner: Baked rice in lemon juice, yoghurt and cumin (stolen that idea out of some of the food threads here), some salad, peppermint tea - then to assess how I am doing and if I still have room for empty calories (ie a biscuit or 2).
2 questions: 1) What are the serving sizes of rice and pasta that you guys are eating / recommend? If in cups, could you say whether you mean a cooked or uncooked cup. I know I have seen this info somewhere but cant remember where. 2) Is peppermint tea ok for DH to drink. I know IG said no, but I think I have seen somewhere here that it is? I am banning my hubby from his green tea, that he normally drinks about 5 cups a day of - he would like to have 1 or 2 cups a day of peppermint tea instead, is this ok?
So excited to hopefully be one step closer to my precious baby girl (please God!) I have been waiting to get to this point (beginning the sway) for a long time.
