Could only manage 2/3 of my tea so will take rest to work tomorrow for lunch…only thing is I have unused calories now and I’m not hungry

Lunch – morello cherries and raspberries, cooked in microwave and fage yoghurt. Amazing – did make my eyes water a little but in a good way. My dog loves fage yoghurt too!

Lunch – Red Pepper “rolls” (1 red pepper halved and filled with hummus, fresh coriander, cucumber, feta, a sprinkle of mixed seeds, black pepper & a squeeze of lemon juice)
Dinner will be baked sea bream with lemon and chervil butter and a green salad

I follow guidelines in the book and check weights for acurate(ish) portion sizes.

Never thought of warming berries – good idea @janet1973! My cat also loves Fage yoghurt – she begs for it!!

@alibaba – those rolls sound lovely, will be trying those.

L Restaurant, Instead of my usual veggie burger and chips I had Shepherdess Pie which was green lentils, carrot swede, black beans in tomatoe garlic and tamari gravy topped with creamy caulifower and potato mash, and cheese, with brocolli and cabbage and roast potatoes! It was absolutely gorgeous and I left 2 roasties.

I’m sure I am over my daily limit (cannot guess the amounts) so just strawberries tonight, I should have stopped earlier when full but confess I ate it all. I am going to get some tamari now, it’s a lovely taste for veggie gravy..

Hi barby
Sounds lovely. What’s tamari?

B boiled egg, one ryvita with butter
L Minute steak and mushrooms, one plum
D Ostrich Steak, cauliflower rice flavoured with Tahini, green beans, sugar free jelly and berries
Will have an apple later

Hi Sabrina are you still going? Where do you get chick pea flatbread please?

Hi Janet I’d never heard of Tamari, but apparently it is like a Japanese wheat and gluten free soya sauce. There is one on Waitrose – Clearspring organic tamari, with 196 cals for 100ml and 34g carbs. You probably just need a dash of it added to add flavour.

I think the chickpea flatbreads are the gramflour flatbreads in the recipe section. Its a batter you make up like pancakes, very quick. Also called besan flour sometimes.

Hi Barby, that’s interesting thank you, I’ll look out for it.

B- fage yog/berries
L- 2 rye crispbreads, 50g hummus, 3 cherry toms
D- one piri piri chicken thigh, small salad, tsp chilli sauce
Teas to drink

Thank you Janet, will try them

Hi Christine Denise,

Janet1973 is correct the recipe is on the website. You can make them thin or thick depending on your preference or what you are going to eat them with. I’ve used them as a wrap & they taste really good.

Thank you Sabrina

Hi Janet
Tamari is a type of soy sauce
Penny

Thanks penny 😉

Make the most delicious soup today with something I normally throw away – cauliflower leaves. I used the leaves of 2 caulis along with a bit of broccoli, onion, fennel, leek, veg oxo, handful each basil & parsley. At the end I added leftover cauliflower cheese – just a couple spoonfuls. Blended when cooked – absolutely delicious. Couldn’t find cals etc for the leaves but sure not high. Will never waste them again!

Good to hear! My dad never let us waste cauliflower leaves! 🙂
Glad your soup turned out so tastily 🙂

I was so fed up and hungry last night, thought I’d make an effort today.

B- portobello mushroom, poached egg, wilted spinach
L- mungbean dhal + 1 mini onion bhaji (Morrisons)
D- waiting for the zucchini lasagne from recipe section with extra veg & quorn mince.

Will come in around 900 cals, but that’s ok.

I like the idea of tosting a flatbread – will try that.

B: 20g Ham finely chopped
40g Portobello mushroom finely chopped
lightly sautéed the ham and mushroom with a bit of butter add
1 egg beaten with a splash of milk to make an omelette topped with 10gms finely grated cheddar

Dinner will be home made Thai style fish cakes have got the calories worked out yet

First day of my Fast 800.

Breakfast: Leftover beef stew with carrots
1 cup of coffee with heavy cream

Lunch: 1 cup of coffee with heavy cream

Dinner: Roasted chicken breast (bone-in, skin on)
Large salad of spring greens with olive oil and apple cider vinegar dressing

I still want to eat. It’s an emotional need. I’m not hungry. I can hear chocolate singing to me…

Just remember, chocolate makes your clothes shrink,

Boomboombum that’s brilliant, I’ll remember that!!!! 🙂

Tonight’s dinner was a lasagne, using thin long slices of zucchini instead of pasta, and a carb free bechamel sauce. Tasty, and without the glugginess of a pasta one. We had it with wilted pak choi with ginger garlic, chilli and a few drops of fish sauce. The remaining lasagne will freeze nicely for other meals.

Need some new ideas so bumping this up to the top…

L – lentil burger and dips (fridge clear out)

D – last of the cream cheese stirred through some flaked oak smoked salmon & broccoli

S – fage yogurt with a sprinkling of cinnamon

Last night I was stuck for a quick dinner and made the scrambled eggs, chopped chilli and parmesan cheese from the book. I like hot spicy dishes, and this was so delicious. Sorry that it took so long for this suggestion, hardly a recipe, to come to my attention. It would have done just fine for breakfast or lunch, but next time I’ll add something like some bacon, maybe a slice of avocado or grilled tomato just to make it a bit more satisfying for a proper dinner.

Just made cauliflour cheese for lunch, added a little mustard and a little stilton as experiment. Smells lovely.

Also just making broccoli and stilton soup – can you tell I have some out of date stilton to use up. Actually I may cube the remainder and freeze, rather than waste it.

I love stilton in things like broccoli, courgette or cauli soup – but oddly I can’t stand it on it’s own!
Sounds like you are eating well today!! 🙂

Breakfast – Small bowl of porridge made with almond milk – I know we can have cows milk but it makes it taste ‘greasy’
Snack – Apple.
Lunch – Quinoa and avocado salad with cherry tomatoes and a boiled egg.
Snack – Square of 85% dark chocolate and 4 brazil nuts (yum)
Dinner – Lentil soup.
Supper – a few grapes

Compare with what I would ‘normally’ have had on a Sunday

Breakfast -2 or sometimes 4 crumpets with butter
Snack – caramel biscuit (or 2) Coffee
Lunch – Cheese and onion toastie with mayo
Snack – Banana.
Dinner – Take Away Pizza – Medium Mushroom pizza with olives and half a spicy tomato bread, or Chinese Take Away mushroom Foo Yung Chips and a carton of curry sauce 2 glasses of wine.
Supper – Gaviscon tablets x 2 – not joking here.

I have been following this diet for 8 days now and I have lost 7 lbs, and I have had no heartburn or reflux at all this week, I don’t have a problem with my blood sugar (yet) but I do have a lot of abdominally carried fat, and a number of type 2 diabetics in my immediate family.

Hi joannC, there is a massive difference between what you used to eat and todays menu!

Well done on your weight loss so far 🙂

Now you can save money on Gaviscon lol

A number of us no longer have acid reflux so if you find in a few weeks that is true for you could you post your improvements in the ‘list your improvements here list’? 🙂

Hi Sparkly, welcome to the forums 🙂

Sounds like you have a very good plan for the day! I haven’t calculated your calories because it seems like you have it sorted.

It’s amazing how much good food you can have on 800 calories!

Have you seen the bags of milled flaxseed? Aldi is the cheapest, a teaspoon of it sprinkled on yoghurt is quick and easy and the resealable bag lasts for AGES!!!

Good luck for your first week! 🙂
