Pink dieters - let's share our meals and menus! WEEK ONE

[atomic sagebrush]

I decided I'm going onto a pink diet for a couple weeks (and I had BETTER NOT get pg!!:worry:) because I need to lose some weight and I just wanted to play around with it. So I will be suffering along with you!!!

If I was actually swaying pink, I would eat a low cal, low fat, low protein diet and go vegetarian so that is what I"m doing for these two weeks just to see how much weight I can lose at it. I'm not going to skip breakfast or give up tea though, so if you're swaying pink, don't do what I did!!

Day 1: Breakfast - about 1/4 c Almonds (not technically a girl food but allowed on the French diet and since I am eating low cal, low protein, and low fat for the rest of the day, I can get away with it) and tea.

Snack - Diet Coke

Lunch - Yoplait Light yogurt ("Red Velvet Cake") with Seltzer Water

Snack - Diet Coke

Dinnner - Spaghetti mixed half and half with cauliflower and topped with "Heart-Healthy" (has lower sodium and sugar) spaghetti sauce (again, this is not technically a girl food but since I ate virtually no sodium and only a little potassium for the rest of the day, I can get away with it.) And seltzer water.

Snack - one light beer

Day 2 - Breakfast - Tea, Yoplait Light ("Cinnamon Roll") and seltzer water.

Snack - Apple and Diet Cke

Lunch - 1/2 peanut butter sandwich and selzer. (Not a girl food but I went very easy on the PB)

Snack - Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich (fat free) and Diet coke

Dinner - Tiny scoop of low-sodium scalloped potatoes (again this is a no-no but I had had very little of it, about a cup), low-sodium craisin bread, and seltzer.

Snack - one light beer.

Day 3 - Breakfast - low-sodium craisin bread and tea (experimenting to see which breakfast keeps me from getting hungry the longest!!)

Snack - coffee (baby did not sleep well last night!!!!!)

Lunch - One slice pizza (had salt but my mom brought it over so I felt like I had to), Diet coke

Snack - craisin bread and a fat-free, sugar free ice cream bar, diet coke

Dinner - 1 light beer and 4 corn tortillas fried in 1 T unsalted butter.

April-16

(I will come back and edit later when im done for the day lol)

Breakfast: 1 package of poptarts... not on any girl diet but I wanted one and their low in salt and fat.

Snack: 1 cup strawberry Fiber One yogurt and a bottle of Aquafina with Crystal Light.

Lunch: pasta with a little yogurt, tsp of cottage cheese, and a tbsp of red sauce. no salt was add to anything since it was homemade. a little parm on top. ***I think im going to cut out the pasta because I didn't eat that much of it and I weighed 123 before the pasta and right after I was 125. WTH?

Snack: a few fiber veggie wheat thins and soft cheese.

Dinner: a salad and cup of yogurt with a glass of milk

MD - that's just the food and liquid in your stomach and not your actual weight. You don't need to weigh yourself after every meal, just once in the morning is PLENTY. You don't even need to weigh yourself every day because your weight can naturally fluctuate by a few pounds just from water weight (and water weight does NOT count for swaying).

Oh yeah and I actually think PopTarts are kinda good for pink.

GG - my mom drinks TONS of coffee and tea and has two girls (and actually conceived another girl but lost it) and a boy. She didn't use to eat breakfast at all, just coffee!!

Pop tarts good for pink, you say?! I can only eat the ones without the frosting on it because the frosting has gelatin... buuut, if pop-tarts are girl-diet friendly, that'd be a handy thing to know.
