Latest weigh in update on the Low Carb diet.
I had my latest weigh in on the Tesco ediet on Thursday morning and I'm please to say that I lost 4lbs this week which makes 10lbs in all in just 11 days.
The menus this week have been pretty similar to last week with scrambled eggs, frittata or fried eggs for breakfast with sausages or bacon. I've had a problem with the afternoon meals though as many of them were not really the sort of foods to put in a food flask so I have been making up a salad with a bit of french dressing and some meats eg chicken, grilled bacon, bacon lardons and even a sliced up hot pepperami in with a bacon salad. I usually make sure that all of the ingredients are mixed together in my bowl and then I grate some parmesan on top. I am generally also having a mixed selection of Kiwi fruit, melon and grapes mid morning which happily is brought around on a trolley around the office for just £1.50. You can buy similar products from your local supermarket.
I dodged a bit of a bullet on Tuesday as that was my the day of my twice monthly lunch at the Thai Restaurant/own brew pub. Great food and great beer what more could you ask for? Well going through the menu it was clear that anything with rice, noodles or Thai fries was out and that some of the curries had potatoes in them anyway which is not good. In the end I went for Grilled Neck of Pork which was served on a bed of beansprouts. This came with some Tamarind sauce which I just lightly drizzled some onto the meat. All in all it was very nice but it has to be said it was a few pounds more expensive than the Yellow Curry meal deal that we normally have. I have say that I did sin a bit though as I had my only pint of beer since starting the diet.
Last evening I had some zesty sea bass with asparagus and tomatoes which to be honest I wasn't too hopeful about as I don't really do asparagus or cooked tomatoes but I have to say I was really surprised and the zesty lemony sauce on the fish sort of made everything go together really well. I shall definately have this again which is more than can be said for some Avacado, Broccoli and Turnip concoction on Thursday. The avacado has joined smoked salmon on the banned ingredients list!
I've generated the recipes for the coming week and going through the ingredients list I don't think that I need to place an online order this week. The eggs and meat I will source locally and the small amounts of salads and vegetable shall be covered from either our weekly delivery of a farmers box from Riverford or a trip to Aldi.
Like last week I am planning to go for a walk around Spalding which I have now planned on Map My Walk which is a great site for working out distances and planning your walks. If you put in your height, weight, distance walked and time the walk was completed in then the site will show you how many calories that you burned on the walk. It will also show this if you walk, run etc. After running last weeks route through this web site then distance last week was 4.16 miles rather than the 4.5 as advertised but still not bad. I have also gone for a walk around the block in our village which I have also plotted in the map as 1.25 miles so I have done a couple of short walks as well as the longer one. Using this website though I have managed to plot a nice 3.6 mile walk around the village so I might have a go at that one tomorrow.
