BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Low Carb Food Log

I guess this log will only work if we are honest and don't load ourselves on the guilt, so good on you Jase for your honesty. I will try to do the same!

yesterday I had two low carb puddings and some high fiber biscuits for breakkie.

Then garlic cauliflower and tofu with cheese and low carb alfredo sauce for dinner. Red wine for dessert.

Today - breakfast was a small salisbury steak with mushroooms, asparagus and red peppers (weight watches frozen meal) with a hunk of yummy parmesan cheese and some low carb sweet potato chips. I feel very sated.

I have noticed I eat better dinner meals when I actually take the time to plan them ahead, so am thinking what to eat for dinner.

Maybe a scrambled eggs thing with cheese and salsa and red cabbage. I have bagged red cabbage that needs to be eaten and I have been wanting eggs anyway. So i think today will be dinner for breakfast and breakfast for dinner.

Yesterday -

brekkie: nothing (i slept in) but when I got up i had some fruit juice.

Lunch: Roasted sliced lean pork loin sandwhich on whole grain oat bread, baked garlic bagel chips (reduced fat 94% fat free), soft natural aged cheddar cheese spread.

i ended up having a california roll, a boston roll, and 3 fried wontons, and some vegie fried rice.

OK I think we can help out! One of the easiest changes to make in a diet is usually the liquids you drink. Juices are notoriously full of sugars, and depending what semi-sweet things you are drinking, those can be sugary too. Diet sodas are actually shown in many studies to be worse for you than the sugar variety, because of how your body handles them.

Can you try going only for waters, flavored waters and non-caffeine teas for two weeks, as a test?

at work i drink a ton of water, flavored water, and tea. Well at home too.

I drink at least 48 ounces of water or tea a day... minimum. That is besides what I have listed above.

The juices I drink are non-sweetened natural juices. And sometimes when I say juice it's a flavored water with a juice... like a crystal light lemonade mixed with unsweetened fruit juice.

oops... not 48 ounces.. i drink 4 1000 ml bottles (i have a sports bottle designed for hiking that has measurements) of tea or water of some sort a day in addition to what I listed above. I am only listing what I consumed at a meal.. not necessarily the whole day.
