Take a look at my food diary for today and tell me how you think it went…
1 Vanilla Slim Fast Drink and an apple.
This didn’t quite go according to plan! Mussels cooked in white wine, chilli, garlic and parsley served with a small portion of chips – maybe this wasn’t such a low fat recipe. This wasn’t too bad (I guess), however, I then also ate 3 slices of pizza, a slice of cheesy garlic bread and a pint of beer. O dear.
Nothing – I think lunch was quite enough!
3 olives.
2 litres of water, 2 cups of green tea, 1 pint of larger and a cup of coffee with a splash of milk.
As I said yesterday, I feared today would be a dieting disaster due to my lunch time social event. So, let’s start from the beginning…
Day 3 on the Slim Fast diet started amazingly well! I decided to jump on the scales and in 3 days I’ve lost 7lbs!! 7lbs! I was seriously impressed and thought today would be another great day on the Slim Fast diet plan.
My Slim Fast breakfast went well; I had 1 vanilla Slim Fast shake, a glass of water, an apple and a green tea. I finished my breakfast feeling satisfied. I didn’t have a mid-morning snack as I wasn’t hungry (a mistake in hindsight), which I think is a sign of the Slim Fast diet working, usually I’d be starving by 10.30am.
So all was well and having learnt a lesson from my last lunch time dieting disaster I decided that today I would plan ahead. I checked out the menu for the place I would be going for lunch and picked out a low fat meal. All was well.
When we got to the pub I ordered the mussels and chips for lunch and then decided to order a pint of larger. I felt guilty about ordering and subsequently drinking the larger but it was my treat for losing 7lbs already! After I finished my meal that’s when it all went wrong. For some unknown reason I then thought it wise to polish off a slice of cheesy garlic bread and 3 slices of pizza all topped with a ton of mayonnaise. I think this was due to my distinct lack of carbohydrates over the past few days, I cannot tell you how bloated and sick I felt.
When I got home I felt far too guilty about the amount I’d eaten for lunch and the pint of larger and so hit the gym for an hour of cardio. This is the first exercise session I’ve done since being on the Slim Fast Diet and to be honest, had I not have had such a carb heavy lunch, I don’t think I could have got through a gym workout. I haven’t had dinner today as I’m still full from lunch.
In conclusion, I don’t think day 3 on the Slim Fast diet has gone particularly well!! I over indulged at lunch, drank alcohol and haven’t eaten any snacks or dinner. This does not bode well. So, tomorrow is day 4 of my Slim Fast diet and so far I think I’ve only managed 1 day following the plan correctly! Yet despite my loose following of the Slim Fast plan, I’ve somehow managed to lose half a stone? The scales read 11st 9lbs this morning, with this I am impressed. To be honest I think I’m struggling on the Slim Fast plan, but I am seeing results – I’m conflicted! I’m going to continues with the Slim Fast diet and maybe day 4 will be more in keeping with the actual plan – I’ll keep you posted.
