Girl Appropiate Foods

I lost 3 stone in 3 months on the LE diet and not eating breakfast - it's just not true that you can't lose weight if you don't eat breakfast :D

ETA - 3 stone is 42lb!

can i ask what you were eating for lunch and dinner most days?

It was a long time ago so I struggle to remember but in general I made sure my 2 main meals didn't exceed 500 cals/20g protein/500mg sodium. Lunch was often a sandwich with ww bread/wrap/pitta and a slice of processed cheese and slices of skinless cucumber as well as a treat like a ww cake or a jam tart. Dinner was sometimes a bagel and jam, a vegetable burger in a wrap with mayo or pasta with a kids tomato pasta sauce - followed by desert again, same as lunchtime or a ww ice-cream sundae. After the kids went to bed I'd grab a handful of sweets/candy to make up my calories without adding any protein/sodium. I chewed sugar free gum and drank diet coke and sugar free (aspartame sweetened) fruit squash/cordial. I also drank two coffees with skimmed milk and a couple of teaspoons of sweetener during the morning.

But Zanacal did have some spare weight to lose (sorry Zana!!) and so could safely drop to 1200 cals or so a day. For those who are super thin to start with, you do not need and should not cut back that far.

Being sick is ruining everything! I think even my cycle being that I am now 2 days late and hubby has been feeding me soup,rice or tuna..BAD ! Not a part of the pink plan!! I'm not even getting any exercise except trips to the bath and back to the bed and the fact that I was not able to keep food down is the only weight I probably lost..I'm so stressed!!

Aw, your DH sounds like a sweetheart.

When you are ill, you need to relax on diet anyway to allow your body to heal! I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I stopped testing because of the constant disappointment and I wasn't thinking along that road..weird I know! But only because we didn't really try and have been stressed/busy/ everything else in life getting in the way
