In my previous post, I outlined the 1 month plan for kicking the sugar addiction. Here is a recape of day one.
Breakfast was a delicious cheddar cheese omlette with two eggs. I didn't have time to sautee veggies for it, and I had to grab my coffee to go (with cream instead of milk).
I was on the road this morning, so no time for a snack. I had another coffee and some nuts shortly before making a lackluster salad I based off a recipe in a Paleo cook book (tuna, cabbage and instead of sesame oil, I made a dressing of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard and basil). It was very bland.
Afternoon snack was my standard bucket of fresh veggies (probably 3 cups total) with plain natural almond butter instead of kraft peanut butter and a string cheese. The almond butter doesn't have as much flavour as the peanut butter with its salt and sugar. I'm hoping I will get accustomed to it.
For dinner, though work was kind enough to buy us all pizza on account of today being one of our busiest days of the year, I opted out and instead ate my left over pork (which I don't really enjoy), and green beans (which I love).
I got home from work about 11pm, and snacked on a couple of slices of local summer sausage.
Right now I really want an apple, or a peach, but I'm comitted to cutting back for these five days. Sunday will be glorious, and I will enjoy a nice, fresh, juicy peach! I haven't been hungry, though. My tummy isn't upset, I just want that fruit!
For those who are interested, the breakdown of my diet today was 57% Fat, 25% Protein and 18% Carbohydrate. Only about 5.5% was from sugars.
I could probably be even lower carb, so I'll have to read the nutrition labels in more detail.
