Well, I call it dieting for your sake, not for mine. For me, this is not dieting. "Diet" is a bad word that makes you nervous. For me, it's just breaking thr routine.
So... my exercise yesterday came from two or three hours of walking and running to get things done.
I ate out, at McDonalds, but I I only ordered six Nuggets and a bottle of water. In other words, I separated the food - only proteins. I thought about having some tea, but I don't like the teas these guys have: it's either fruit flavored or black tea. So I chose water.
I didn't get to eat anything else until six or seven at night when I prepared for both me and my husband bulgur (brown fine bulgur from Lebanon - Organic whole wheat) and a delicious avocado dish that Anna had on her blog, Free Weight Watchers Recipes. We both loved it. So, Anna, thanks a lot! :)
I wll give you the recipe for the bulgur dish. It does have calories, but if you don't pass 1500 calories a day you'll be just fine. Actually, if you exercise and you are an active person you can have even 2000 calories.
Bulgur - Side Dish
1 cup bulgur olive oil 1 tomato (roughly cut) 3 spoons chopped champignon 1 medium onion 1-2 cups tomato juice (not paste) 1/2 -1 cup frozen green beans 1 chopped carrot (small cubes because they cok faster) 1-2 (up to you) boneless chicken breasts or pork meat (quantity up to you again), cut into long strips salt grounded black pepper
Place the pan over small fire and add up to 2-3 spoons of olive oil;
Add the onion and the carrot and allow to soften and fry for 5-6 minutes, mixing now and then;
Add the mushrooms and allow them a few minutes to cook;
Add the chicken or the meat and continue mixing until met changed color and becomes white;
Add the bulgur and fry everything for 5 minutes - continue mixing and if necessary add 1 tablespoon of oil;
Add 1/2 cup water and the tomato juice and allow it to cook until bulgur and carrots are soft;
Then add the green beans and the tomato, the salt and the pepper and leave it on the fire 5-10 minutes more, until the the beans and the tomatoes are almost cooked.
Losing weight and staying healthy is easy, when you care. Forget famishing yourself: there are other ways.
Since I was 15 I've been obsessed with healthy diets, losing weight, sports, and everything included. I read books after books and I collected articles on staying fit and healthy. Even now, 12 years later, I am still reading everything I find on the subject.
I will share with you, step by step, everything I know. Free advice.
