Weight Loss Diary Day 4 |

This the third day of dieting in my weight loss program and it
will be the last daily report in this series of articles to
avoid you becoming bored with repetition. By now you will have
the idea that I only give up one type of food each day and in
general eat what I please - within reason. The caveat is that
you must be aware of serving sizes because it is due to
over-generous serving sizes that the majority of us are dieting.
In future I will publish three articles each week rather than
seven. If you have a question you wish to ask please use the
comments link at the bottom to list your question and I will
reply to all questions.
Today I will not eat any potatoes or potato products. Because I
exercised yesterday I will not exercise today but will remain
aware of things like parking as far from the supermarket
entrance as possible and using stairs rather than escalators. -
This now a part of my daily routine.
· Today started as normal by walking to the village to pick up
my daily newspaper. This walk is now extended to approximately
1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers)
· Breakfast is cornflakes with mixed dried fruits and nuts and
milk and a banana and lime smoothie. (When I first wake up,
before going to buy my newspaper, I drink a large glass of
water. - This isn't compulsory but water has zero calories.)
· 10.30am I stop work to take a cup of lemon green tea.
· 11.30am feeling peckish and I eat a raw carrot.
· 1pm and its time for lunch. Lunch is a ham and salad sandwich
on whole-grain bread, an apple, a banana and a glass of fruit
juice.
· After lunch I walk for ten-minutes, just a casual walk to help
digest the food.
· 6pm is dinnertime, I like to eat early. Today was Filet Mignon
with French beans and asparagus. My wife had a couple of boiled
potatoes with her meal while I left a space on my plate where
they would have been. (This diet is really so easy to contend
with because I can have potatoes tomorrow if I please.)
Hopefully the people that have joined me on this weight loss
program are starting to settle to the new routine by now and
starting to become vigilant about serving sizes. I just want to
repeat that during this period there is definitely no beer or
drinks that fizz, even if they have sugar free or low calorie
etc. printed on the label. Just accept that these drinks are a
weight watchers biggest headache and do no good for your diet at
any time.
Next article will cover two days and be published two days from
now.
