Day 1 - Resist Temptation

A few ground rules for the following two weeks:

• 3 meals per day, 2 snacks. 
• No carbs whatsoever: no pasta, rice, grains, bread, fruit, sugar loaded veggies, no alcohol. 
• Eat everything low fat, skim/non-fat milk and milk products (1%), sugar free treats. Eggs, lean meats and seafood, veggies. The less processed the better. 
• Eat raw veggies, rather than cooked (when possible). The more effort your digestive system puts into digesting, the more energy it consumes. The more energy it consumes, the more your weight loss. 
• Enjoy seasonings of your choice, salad vinaigrettes no sugar and low fat varieties. 
• Don't eat raw meats, though :) You can eat lean sashimi, no rice though. 
• Eat plenty, but don't abuse your happy foods either. I will post a happy foods list next, no worries. 
• Stick to a eating schedule, don't forget your snack, want it or not, have it. This way you avoid drastic drops in blood sugar that trigger dangerous cravings

Breakfast: Baked Frittata - serves 2

Baked frittata-licious

4 eggs, 1 cup chopped mushrooms, 1 quarter inch ginger root, finely chopped, half red bell pepper chopped, 2 green onion stalks, 1 half zucchini, thin slices, 1 slice feta cheese, salt, pepper, paprika, 1 tbsp vegetable oil.

Sautee all veggies in a pan. beat eggs and mix up with feta and seasoning of your choice. Once the veggies are half way cooked, mix them with the eggs, pour everything in a glass oven resistant pan and bake at preheated oven at 350. It probably take about 20 minutes to cook, depending on your oven and pan you are using. Check your baked frittata after 10 minutes to keep up with the progress

Garnish with the rest of the red bell pepper and sprinkle some mizythra cheese to give it the look.

Pretty food makes for happy people!

Total prep time amounts somewhere around 30 min. Consuming time, 15 minutes. Take your time, chew it up:)

Yes, I didn't say you need to put time into your life style changing diet. If you don't have 30 minutes in the morning, prep it in the evening, and warm it up when you wake up.

Snack: 2 low fat mozzarella sticks

Broiled salmon filet with asparagus and almonds

Lunch: Salmon Filet with Asparagus and Almonds

Side note: I noticed that having a bigger lunch helps with the hunger during the day. Although the American society eats salad or sandwich at lunch, maybe for lack of time, I suggest straying away from this habit, if possible. If not, stick to salads, but do add protein to it. Low fat fish, chicken breast, lean beef are great additions.

Season your salmon steak, squeeze half a lemon and put in the broiler. Check in 10 minutes and turn on the other side.

In a cooking pan, on a baking sheet, arrange your asparagus on one row, season, add vegetable oil and almond slivers and mix well. Bake for 12-18 minutes on medium heat.

Plate and eat! 

You can have desert too. Maybe stevia sweetend tea, or coffee, it helps with the cravings, tricks your body into thinking he got something sweet.

Snack: nuts

Enjoy nuts portions: 15 almonds, 8 walnut halves, 30 pistachios.

Dinner: Tuna Chickpea Salad 

1 can chickpeas, 1 can tuna in oil, lettuce leaves, green pepper, 1 tomato, 1 small cucumber.

oil and lemon juice, salt, pepper, 1 tbsp toasted flax seeds.


Sorry I got no picture for the salad, but post yours, let me see what you got.

Desert: sugar free jello - limit sweets intake to 75 calories
