Any Diet Details?
Stayed fairly well to LE limitations besides the odd cheat. Dropped red meat for 12 weeks. Was vegetarian for the first 8 weeks then added chicken. I skipped breakfast (other than a coffee), drank lots of water, ate lunch and dinner, sometimes had a snack between lunch and dinner if I didn’t eat enough calories during lunch and was hungry.
Foods I commonly ate. usually a mountain wrap, home made herb chicken tender with norco cheese and iceberg lettuce, or ricotta with strawberries, cottage cheese, Chobani yogurt with blueberries, cruskets, pasta in butter and green beans with roast pumpkin and some Parmesan, pumpkin soup, very plain eating.
