GM Diet - Day 4

Ok, I hold my hands in the air and admit that I cheated on my diet last night. I was feeling so horrific and the fruits and veggies just weren't hitting the spot, so I stop and stuffed my face with a burger on the way home - and boy did it taste good! Sadly I've been given hell by my other half and his mates all day for that one, I get the feeling I should have kept it to myself.

Today thought, I was back on the wagon and bananas and milk and soup have been alright actually. It's a good thing that I like bananas and milk as I'm not sure what you could find as a decent substitute.

The one thing I've noticed as this diet has progressed, is the tiredness. I've got very lethargic the last couple of days and felt a definite weakness in my muscles, although the headaches seem to have gone now.

Tomorrow I'm looking forward to finally being ablt to chow down on some meat :-)

GM Diet - Day 3

Today was fruit and veggie day, so for breakfast I had some sweet melon and a couple of Kiwi fruits. Lunch was a bowl of the special soup and I've picked at some fruit for dinner, but to be honest at this point I feel quite sick. I've been drinking lots of water, but I think my sugar levels have just crashed, so I've been forced to make myself a mug of black sweet tea. My muscles also feel pretty weak.

The cravings for normal food are almost getting the better of me at this point and if the tea doesn't do the trick, I'll be forced to eat something away from the plan to get my sugar levels back up again.

I don't think it helps, that I was up all night going to the loo either :-( lack of sleep, lack of sugar and I think my body might give in quite soon.

GM Diet - Day 2

Today was vegetable day. I was allowed a baked potato with a pat of butter for breakfast, then allowed to eat any veggies or salad stuffs I wanted for the rest of the day. I got bored of munching raw carrots, celery and the like and feeling a bit like a rabbit, pretty early on, so I decided to make the GM Wonder Soup. I hasten to add, that I have never made a soup in my life, but it seemed pretty easy.

I had all my ingredients as per the recipe on the plan. I couldn't however, find the Lipton Onion soup mix, so I swapped that for Knorr French Onion soup mix. I also decided to add some chopped leaks as I love them and my favourite seasonings of some mixed herbs, Thyme and Garlic. This was all mixed with the other ingredients of onions, cabbage, red and green peppers, tomatoes and celery. The end result was super yummy, even if I do say so myself. My other half came home and virtually dived into the pot.

I'm not a huge veggie fan, but this, I could happily eat to my hearts content and so I did :-)

About mid afternoon I had the headache again, but that has now been replaced with a bucket load of energy, so I'm feeling pretty good. I just kept forgetting to keep drinking water. The other thing is the cravings for meat and something sweet.

For now this is going pretty well and it's onto fruits and veggies tomorrow.
