This has been a crazy busy weekend. I’ve woken at 2am to watch the quarter finals of the Rugby World Cup Tournament. With that my eating and drinking have been a little off. I’ve had to add protein shakes to makes sure I get my protein. I am getting enough water though, so that is a plus.
Saturday night I made some chicken curry with potatoes. I had shredded chicken from the chicken broth I made about 6 weeks ago. I use a Jamaican curry which is mild but flavorful. I add some cardamom which gives curry just a little extra flavor. I bought corn tortillas the size of a saucer. I placed my 3 ounces of curry on the tortilla and spread it out. Then take little bites and chew, chew chew. I must admit I thought it was going to be ick, but I was happy with it.
Breakfast this weekend has been cream of wheat made with oat milk, I’ve also become a fan of monk fruit as sweetener. I popped into Kroger today, Bought some peaches, bananas and Avo’s. I also picked up some canned soup for an extra choice. In total, my groceries were $21. I don’t think I’ve ever spent that little on a weeks groceries.
I tried Amy’s Low-sodium chili in a can and it was awful. I’m going to try a bit more tonight but will add some pink Himalayan salt to see if the taste improves. If not, i’m done with that. The reason I tried Amy’s is that they typically have the cleanest ingredients for pre-packaged food.
Just one more week of soft, low-fiber food and then I switch to my “forever” diet plan. Forever starts with the same quantities I’m currently consuming and slowly increasing to see how my body reacts to various food. Of course, ultimately the portions will be between 1/2 – 1 cup of food per meal. That is TOTAL food. Not just meat or veggies. For example. They recommend the following for lunch:
- 2 oz grilled chicken tenders
- 1/4 cup cooked spinach or chopped salad (lettuce/spinach, tomatoes, peeled cucumbers, beans, avocado) with 1 tablespoon low-fat dressing
- 1/4 cup melon
All of that is about 8 oz (1 cup) in total.
