Day 15: A tough day.

Evening all. I hope you are all having a good day and sticking to plans and eating healthily. Bit of a slip today for me, but I didn't listen to myself or learn the lesson that not eating for hours can lead to eating things you shouldn't. If you want to read about it, please feel free:

Please feel free to subscribe if you like reading about my journey or if it is helping you on yours. Will be doing a blog on breakfasts on Saturday or Sunday to hopefully give some breakfasts I have had and some that the kind people on here have shared with me and some I have found on the internet.

Stay Strong!

Are you really just having buttered toast for brekky? I do better fasting than a carby breakfast like that. That's normal me, not LCHF me. Doubly while LCHF.

Though right now I would kill for bread and butter.

It works for me, it's part of having something different as, obviously, I don't want the same thing every day. I normally have toast once a week and it keeps me going until lunch. It's when I don't eat again until 3pm that then heightens cravings and lowers resistance. When I eat healthily during the day regularly, I almost always stay on track.

😎 (cool)

You do you, and all.

But I noticed years ago that if I skipped breakfast I actually did not get hungry until later in the day and - because I was buying my lunch - I knew I didn't eat more on the days I skipped breakfast, in fact typically I ate less at lunch if I hadn't eaten anything since I got up. Then I started eating breakfast every day, because it's the "most important meal of the day"

YMMV, but if you haven't experimented with extending your overnight fast, maybe you should.

So what will you be eating tomorrow, and when?

Wordsworth2 in reply to BridgeGirl

I'll be having porridge at 6 30am, a banana and orange at about 10am; chilli with cauliflower rice for lunch with an apple and some almonds, a biscuit at tutoring (as they always give me one) and dinner at 7.30pm, once I get home.

Are you planning around carbohydrates/sugar or just calories?

Just calories.

Agree with bridgegirl. You are fighting a hard, hard battle! Way more miserable than it needs to be. IMHO. Try watching dietdoctor, at least.

Hi there

Don't get disheartened! You already appear to have converted it into a learning experience so now don't dwell on it and carry on being focused and aiming for those small, achievable goals 💪Try having a little stash of almonds or similar to hand in your desk drawer if poss and always have a bottle of water, you'll keep temptation at bay.👍

Thanks 19sunflower,

I keep forgetting my water bottle...I shouldn't put it in the fridge and just leave it next to my bag! And almonds sounds like a good idea too!

Just watch out for any possible nut allergy students. I don't want to land you in lumber🙄
