That meal is nearly perfect, all that's neeed as an add on would be some fresh berries
Low fats is very new for me. I’ve always done lower carb, higher fat, moderate protein…and I gotta say I feel a lot better on just the protein and carbs.
Weight has been steadily dropping, I’m able to fast longer like I used to, and my cravings have been gone for candy and pizza. I’m trying to really approach hunger and cravings differently. The stress of resisting a candy bar or cookie seems to be worse for me and does more damage mentally to me vs just eating a cookie or 2 mini Hershey bars. Maybe 2x a week, if I want some candy, I’ll just eat 2 mini Hershey bars and 1 Reese’s cup. Or if someone offers me a fresh baked cookie, and if I really want one, I’ll eat it, or just half of it. But I don’t plan on these.
I notice such a better difference in how I feel just sticking to my basic boring diet. I love the foods I eat. Grilled chicken with jasmine rice, salt, and chicken broth are delicious.
For me, the few minutes of pleasure when eating a bunch of candy is nothing compared to feeling better all week.
I’ve also looked at foods as “yes I can eat them any time, but do I really want to?”
And having a clean refeed day for me feels so much better vs pizza, donuts, candy, and cookies all day.
