I weighed myself today and I'm 13st 5.5 so in a month since stopping the maple syrup plan I've gained 3lbs! So with a month to go until I go away for a short break with NOTHING to fit me, I'm back to doing what I did four years ago when the weight dropped off me fast. This is what I did then and what I will be doing until the end of May.
BREAKFAST Slimfast (chocolate of course!) 223 calories Cup of GREEN TEA MID AM Chocolate Option Drink 40 calories Piece of fruit OR a museli bar OR a low fat yoghurt 100 calories LUNCH Tin of BAXTERS soup any varietyup to 300 calories cup of GREEN TEA MID PM as mid a.m. 140 calories
DINNER Any meal you want eaten off a smaller plate no more than 9 inches across and NOT piled up like a mountain up to 460 calories (so a weight watcher meal and some salad is one example) cup of GREEN TEA
MID EVENING as mid am and pm up to 140 calories
Doing the above four years ago WITHOUT exercise I lost 2st 8lbs in 12 weeks but I know it probably won't have the same rapid effect now. Still at least it's a plan where you're eating regularly and having the slimfast is more convenience than anything. If you're not running around like a mad woman in the morning sit down with some wholegrain cereal and fruit.
