Meal type: I am a vegetarian. I didn't even eat an egg on my diet trip.
Breakfast: 1 cup of pure milk (cold)+1 banana +5 blackberries.
Then I will arrive at the office.
Coffee/espresso time: about 10:30am- a cup of black coffee (without sugar)+5-6 almonds and 5-6 walnuts.
Lunch: about 1.5 12:00 pm A bowl of Indian lentils (dal)+ 1 a bowl of yogurt mixed with cumin powder, black salt and red powder (which can add or delete things)+1 a bowl of simple salad (I always cut onions, cucumbers and cherry tomatoes). I haven't had a barbecue for three months.
Then walk for 2.5 hours+gym (after dieting)
Dinner: 1 bowl of lentils+1 apple or a bowl of salad (lettuce, onion, cucumber, cherry tomato, salad dressing, croutons).
Now that I am thin, I won't be too hard on myself, and I will relax when I go on a diet.
Breakfast: 1 cup of pure milk (cold)+1 banana +5 blackberries +5 raspberries (almost).
Then I went to the office and got my two bottles of wine. One is cold water, which I immediately drank and then filled. The other is filled with hot water, two slices of lemon and organic honey. I drink this all day at work.
Coffee/espresso time: about 10:30am- a cup of espresso (with cream)+potato chips (pretzels, because my blood pressure is very low, I need to raise my blood pressure).
Lunch: about 1.5 12:00 pm A bowl of Indian lentils (dal)+ 1 a bowl of yogurt mixed with cumin powder, black salt and red powder (which can add or delete things)+1 a bowl of simple salad (I always cut onions, cucumbers and cherry tomatoes).
Afternoon snacks: 1 apple
Then 1.5-2 hours of walking+fitness (I also reduced my fitness)
Dinner: Most of the time I prepare fresh guacamole at home, and then I eat a guacamole sandwich (with cheese).
I've been drinking a lot of water every day since I started to lose weight. Keeping hydrated works wonders for me. I don't feel so hungry. It can also keep my skin clean. I can feel my skin glowing these days.
Water is my best new friend.
In order to cheat at dinner (team lunch, midnight craving), I asked my colleagues in the office to bend the rules. I told them that whenever we need to order lunch or go out for lunch, the place should be like this, and I can eat high-quality salad. I used to eat this every time I went out. There is no compromise on this point, which makes my team very depressed.
A few days ago 15, I started walking in the apartment for an hour every night. The weather in Chicago was fine, so I took advantage of it.
Gradually, I started walking for 30 minutes, and then I went into the gym to do some stretching exercises. Then I will take a walk on the treadmill and try to run for a while. I started running at 1 minute, slowly increased to 2 minutes, then 3 minutes, then 5 minutes, and so on. As an asthmatic, it was not easy, but I didn't give up. Starting today, I can run for 20 minutes at a stretch. After that, I will sit on my bike and exercise for 20 minutes, and then lift some dumbbells and walk home.
