abbadabba's Journal, 06 Jan 17

Thank you for your thoughts yesterday!

I am at a point right now where I have to do something to move my life to where I want to go. Watching what I eat is getting frustrating - my new plan is to clean out my fridge and buy a certain amount of food each week and just eat that.

I have a list that I got from a magazine which provides 1250 calories for 7 days. I am going to shop this weekend with the idea that I will only eat from the list.

Here is the list modified for me: the original also include 1/2 bottle of wine but I am not including that in my diet.

EDITED TO MATCH THE CALORIE COUNT ON JAN 8 - 2017

5 ounces fish: 1 CAN OF tuna, 6 OUNCES frozen shrimp, fish sticks
2 pounds chicken: ground chicken, chicken nuggets, canned chicken, deli sliced
8 ounces beef: hamburger, steak
8 slices/pieces Bacon
14 ounces tomato sauce
2 quarts fat-free milk
6 ounces ham
4 ounces cheddar
3 ounce box of rice (risotto or wild rice)
1 lb broccoli florets
1 lb green beans
1 sweet potato
Salad stuff: Unlimited - Fresh tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, carrots
Red peppers
4 tablespoons of Olive Oil
1 small melon
1 pint of berries
Peaches – fresh, frozen, or canned in juice
2 ounces almonds
1 pint fortified orange juice
1/2 loaf of whole wheat bread (or 900 calories of bread, crackers, etc.)
Granola (up to 900 calories)
6 eggs
1 pint of fat-free yogurt – flavored is ok, but not with fruit
4 ounces quinoa or whole grain like bulgur
4 ounces whole-wheat pasta
4 servings of BEANS:
Canned or dried beans or lentils, hummus, bean dip, lentil soup.

So we will see how it goes! I think this list matches the Food of January 8, 2017. Going to clean out my fridge now!

Thanks for sharing that list! Much appreciated. I began pulling one together last night but gave up. Have you seen/read that book "Carb Lovers Diet"? I have it and love love it. They have menus and recipes for a 7-day start and then for the rest of the month. Their thing is about eating healthy, of course, and ensuring fiber along with "resistant starch" intake.

Thanks for sharing your list! Do you eat like 1/2 cup portions. I have never been on a Carbohydrate diet so dont know whre to really start or how much I should eat. You have a plan and that is great. Good for you! I am happy for you.

Check out my Diet Calendar for January 8, 2017. I am not a carb lover, actually; this list is a good variety of food.
