| I eat a totally normal diet from all five food groups.
Today for example, I've eaten:
Breakfast:
1 sachet of oatmeal
1 apple
Lunch:
a wholegrain bread roll with tuna, slice of low fat cheese, avocado and tomato
an orange
dinner tonight will be:
chicken schnitzel (a very small piece of breast dipped in egg, breadcrumbs) and shallow fried
mashed potato
mixed steamed veges
Lunch is the hardest, it took me an hour and a bit to eat that. I cant eat a whole roll at once, and I certainly cant follow it with a piece of fruit. But although technically, its eating around the band, to poke it down slowly over an hour means I've got on board a good healthy lunch that gives me enough energy to get through the afternoon.
I dont find the bandster rule of eating for 20 minutes or so does me much good because 2 hours later I'm starving. Whereas if I eat the whole roll I get through till dinner no problem.
that's a typical day for me. Now I'm at goal, you'll find a glass of wine here, a cappucino there, a bit of chocolate or a cookie now and then etc.
I tend to cook from scratch for most things, I dont like buying processed foods, or dinners in boxes.
I also run for an hour most days.
