Hi Fruitcake,
I tend to try an swap the daily menu round to make sure I eat the bulk of the food during the day rather than having to eat a lot later in the day. I have been doing it for about 7 weeks and have lost a pound a week. I tend to cook in bulk and freeze in portions.Hello Everyone,
I am also from the UK and now at the end of week 6. I have lost 4 lbs so far. I too have been struggling to fit in all the eating on my working days but have now got into the habit of preparing and measuring the night before to take it with me.
With regards to cup measures (which I also have) Wilkinsons sell sets of 4 white ceramic ramekins that hold one cup. I now use these and they can also be put in the dishwasher.
Hi I’ve joined and I’m struggling to get my head round this a bit!! I take it everything we eat has to be weighed and or measured? I’m confused about the breads and where it says pizza in my menu for tea!!
Think I need a couple hours to sit and digest all the info!
Good luck everyoneHello Hypidion,
Does your menu say pizza da Greco? If so it’s referring to a recipe. Otherwise I think it means a thin based plain margarita pizza…and it probably won’t mean more than a small slice. For the first week or so, I made notes alongside each item on the menu that put the amount into ‘real’ terms for me. Eg I weighed out the amount of potato I was meant to have and found it was more than I usually eat, so wrote,”normal portion fine”. That way, when I was putting food on plates for the family, I knew what to give myself without having to get the scales out. It has worked… I’ve continued to lose an average of 1lb per week.
You’ll get the hang of it soon, I promise!I click apps, then the first menu option and change foods to suit me and try to stay at 86% healthy. I only measure what it states. I e 2 oz protein or a cup of veg.
