Yesterday went really well!
Tho, I am reading the book 21 Day Weight Loss Kickstart (plant based diet) and feel a bit deflated because I used a TON of canola oil making the gravy last night and it basically said try not to use any EVER! (How!?)
Anyway--- really wanted to steal a piece of my 4 year old's Halloween candy, but didn't. (She was only allowed to keep 10 pieces anyway, so I'm accountable.)
Finding that cutting the sugar is tougher than the cheese, eggs, etc.
Found some dark chocolate that has no milkfat and no sugar (just cane juice) and it's surprisingly good!
My husband is doing well, too--no cheating!
Yesterday I bough a huge watermelon and some kiwis and made a huge fruit salad. Perfect for breakfast with about 8 almonds! (The book also says to limit nuts because they are quite fatty and you may think the plan isnt working, but you're just subbing nuts & oil for the animal products).
Tomorrow--stir-fry!
How is it going for YOU? Harder or easier than you thought?
I used 1/3 cup of oil in my gravy because I too felt funny about adding all of that oil. I think that as long as you keep the fat (oil) to flour ratio equal the recipe will still work. I also knew that Darrell would never eat that gravy with chunks of onion so after it was done thickening I gave it a whirl in the food processor.
ReplyDeleteI think cutting sugar should be a whole different challenge!
So happy you got a good breakfast in!
