I eat like a king for breakfast, like a prince for lunch and like a pauper for dinner. Who knows how long that saying has been around, but I just heard it and it is working for me.
I used to have steel cut oats for breakfast; I've traded that for 30 grams of protein. Okay, 26 grams or two of my homemade turkey sausages. I have my oatmeal for dinner now. The protein easily carries me through the morning. I might have a mid-morning snack of an orange or apple, but only eat it because I should, not because I'm hungry. A cup of cottage cheese for breakfast will work too. Or three eggs and two pre-made turkey sausages. It's a lot of food! Thank you Dr. Oz for this tip.
I record Dr. Oz everyday and skip through the show when I get home and pick up the info which applies to me. I didn't need the episode on depression and shock therapy, but watch anything on weight loss. I knew protein was my best choice for breakfast and he merely reinforced it and gave me the push I needed.
I am down 10.6 lbs since Jan. 2.
Sooooo looking at MY diet, I'm eating it directly backwards. I eat oatmeal every morning, with prunes, a chopped half apple and some dried cranberries, a tsp of honey and then some soy milk. Lunch? lately, i've been eating hummus and toast. Snack? a mandarin or two, or a banana. Dinner? Whatever we decide to eat - the common choices for dinner.
ReplyDeleteSo we should have the dinner IE protein (sausage, cottage cheese, chicken or steak perhaps?) for breakfast and i should eat the oatmeal for dinner? Gots to change the entire dynamic of food time if that's the case.
yes?
Crazy, huh? It's easy to make oatmeal for dinner and it takes the stress out of what to cook, lol. It seems to be working for me. Go figure. It's all the same food I was getting two weeks ago, just in a different order, but now I'm losing weight.
