My life has revolved around food over the last couple of weeks.
I’ve changed my eating habits and am now following a 6 week metabolism restart plan (if anyone is interested I can send you a pdf of the plan 
)
So as I had a bit of spare time on my hands, I thought I’d take you through my food intake for a day
Breakfast starts with Bacon and Eggs, followed by a small banana. The bacon is free range (supposed to be organic but I just can’t justify paying $12 for 8 pieces!!). Eggs are supposed to be organic, but once again I just can’t justify the extra $4, so I’m using free range, barn laid!!
Next are my snacks. I have these in between breakfast and lunch, and also between lunch and dinner. My favourites are almonds, strawberries and carrots, but I can also substitute chicken sausages for the almonds if I wan’t a bit more fullness!! There’s also the option of having 2 hard boiled eggs, which I mix with a bit of organic butter then mash it all up and add a few bacon bits on the top for flavour
Lunch is usually a salad with either Tuna on top or a Turkey Burger, which I’ve added Chilli and Lime seasoning to so that it gives the burger a bit of zing
Then comes dinner. Stirfry with Chicken. I also add some Soy Sauce and some Extra Virgin Olive Oil to cook the chicken in. These give flavour. (The Apple Cider Vinegar goes on my salad at lunch!). I chuck some spinach into the veggies too.
There’s a bit of prep work involved, which I’ve done on a Sunday. I cook up the Turkey Burgers, cut up the Chicken and Carrot sticks and measure out and bag my Almonds. This then means that I’m set up for the week and it’s quick and easy to organise and prepare everything
Am happy to report that I’ve now dropped 3kg in 2 weeks!

Very impressed with the preparation and organisation! But to add to John’s question, “Where’s the red wine?”

And the wine?
Seriously, looks reasonably sound but I am concerned by the lack of calcium, if dairy is out take a supplement and add some broccoli too.

Great work JayKay! Losing weight is a freaking full time job, ain’t it?! so much preparation! You’re an example of what I should be doing but aren’t!
I also do the snack preparation on sunday night for the week ahead – i know all about the little packs of almonds and carrot sticks!
echo sassy’s sentiments – what i would give to be able to eat whatever i want and stay thin!
3kg in 2 weeks – congrats! you’re doing awesome!
