i need to eat more not less, any ideas on that?
since i try to bring my lunch from home to work everyday, i usually don’t use a dinner plate. i do try to have more fruit and veggies available than carbs. right now, i am on a very restricted diet because of some medical testing i have to get done next week, so “balanced eating” is being put on hold.
my intention is that on tuesdays and thursdays i will have a large salad for lunch, monday/wednesday/friday have soup and small sandwich. i know that if i can get this to be second nature, i will be eating balanced meals.
i also intend on following the “gi diet” by rick gallop.
I have been doing portion control and it has been working. I am eating less and have lost 24 pounds in the last 6 months.
where’s the fruit??
Fruit is also very important too!
