This is our last day on phase 1 of the Harcombe Diet and I confess I am looking forward to having a wider range of foods to choose from. Sue has given a wonderful explanation of the diet on her blog, so I won't repeat it here.
Weight loss today: 1lb
Weight loss to date: 9lbs
Menu Day 4 (phase 1)
Breakfast - poached eggs on spinach (eggs Florentine)
Snack - natural yoghurt with cherry tomatoes and cucumber sticks
Lunch - salad nicoise
Dinner - Mediterranean roasted vegetables and fish Provençal
The strange thing is I haven't really missed other foods. Mr Thrifty and I love a piece of cake with a cup of tea in the afternoon and I think we have missed the social aspects of food more than the actual food itself. The trouble is we got into the habit of having it every day, with maybe a biscuit or two. I also over-eat on chocolate. I think I self-medicate with it - it is my drug of choice. What I do notice, is that when I don't consume chocolate, I am calmer.
Let me know how you are doing if you have joined us...
Have a wonderful day
Love Mrs Thrifty

Brilliant weight loss, and I must say your food sounds very posh, could almost be on the page of a restaurant menu!
ReplyDeleteI've just found a brilliant side effect to my weight loss and change of diet I'll be Blogging about it later.

Ha ha I think I just give it the posh names Sue! Intrigued to know what the 'side effect' is. Going to buy some really good chocolate today, ready for tomorrow evening, but I am not missing chocolate which is quite bizarre. I feel light, in a really healthy way. xx
DeleteWell done you! Gosh I find it difficult cooking and dieting but with the summer coming and a bikini coming soon..
ReplyDeleteYou must be proud of yourself.
Well done Mrs T......amazing how often eating is just out of habit and not because we're actually hungry!
