Am i doing the diet all wrong??
Hi
I think i am doing the diet all wrong. I had a small chicken curry with white rice for my lunch with a few biscuits. For dinner i will have a pitta or bagel with low fat cream cheese and a few biscuits. Is this all wrong? The curry was from a restaurant so nothing was counted. I eat out every lunch time with work so am finding it so difficult. I was just eating white bread salad sandwiches last week but was getting the shakes after it as i wasnt getting enough. I also had a slice of white toast at 10am as i was up at 5.30 and was so hungry. Feel like i am really failing at this and panicking i am doing it all wrong.
Please help!

I would keep the rice with white bread for lunch..and maybe some pasta without any sauce or anything bht with little parmesan on top and 1 slice of bread.
If you eat bread, change the biscuits with jellies (?) or marshmallows(without sugar).

I do think it's best to go completely vegetarian if at all possible, and to avoid fatty sauces like curries. I personally would consider your lunch a cheat meal. Ok a couple times a month but definitely not daily.
You don't need to be as extreme as plain salad sandwiches every day, maybe some meals with cheese, legumes, or eggs . If you need to eat 3 meals some days or every day that is fine, it doesn't have to be 2 meals.
I would probably not eat out every day unless I knew the nutrient/calorie info. It's just way too easy to go over the limits when eating out otherwise.

Ok thanks girls for your replies. I feel so bad now that I eat that. I'm struggling big time to not feel weak. I have a very fast metabolism so get the shakes so much. I will try and eat more plain foods. I eat eggs & cheese every single day normally and have 3 boys so I was trying to stay away from them. Finding this diet soo difficult.

I would stay away from eggs, maybe 1 at 2 weeks...
I ate cheese 0.1% fat almost every day of my diet and I got my girl...so dont worry about that.

I have a very fast metabolism also. You CAN do this, but you may need to ease into it more gradually. Give yourself a few weeks to get used the diet. You might try dropping a meal or going down in cals every 4 days. For now, I'd eat more for breakfast so you aren't as starving at lunch. You can always drop it later. Right now it sounds like you're bouncing between extremes a bit.
Eggs once or twice a week in moderation are fine, especially if you just eat the the whites. It's the yolks that really sway blue especially when combined with protein. But you NEED some protein especially to prevent the shakes. You personally might need protein at every meal, and that's okay.
If you're struggling with what to eat, maybe consider buying the meal plan? Also read through the threads where pink swayers post what they eat each day. It will help give you ideas.Last edited by maidentomother; February 11th, 2016 at 06:01 PM.

you NEED 30-60 g fat so the first thing I'd change would be not having lowfat cream cheese!
