The idea of limiting the timeframe of eating reminds me of "intermittent fasting" (I think that's the english term for that sort of diet..). As a diet, they take it a bit further than 12 hours "fasting"/12 hours "eating". There are concepts up to 36 hours "fasting"/12 hours "eating", so alternating 1 day of eating and 1 without food. But there's also 16 hours "fasting"/8 hours "eating" and all kinds of concepts in between.I guess the longer fasting periods are supposed to make calorie counting unnecessary.. But I still wouldn't trust myself not to stuff my face within the "eating" phase :DJust a thought, if you want to look into that kind of stuff.Apart from that: Good planning going on! I love that you include snacks into your meal planning! And yumm, pistachios.. Haven't had those in a while, so thanks for mentioning them, I'll write it on my shopping list for tomorrow :)

I have gotten back in the habit of logging food and caloric drinks in my Weight Watchers app. I still stalk around my cubicle looking for sweet snacks, but I silently chastise myself when I do. You always think it's going to be easy the first day because you have told yourself to have a different mind-set. I just have to realize whether I'm on the first day or the last day, I must maintain my strength of will and believe in the mantra that nothing tastes as good as being thin feels. Not always easy to tell yourself that when you want a small, teeny, tiny piece of dark chocolate.
