At the end of the day it is 1000-1200 calories a day but since you are never more than 90 minutes away from your next snack, hunger isnt really an issue. I eat lots of high fibre things like All Bran bars. Lots of raw veggies, almonds, yoghurt etc. Shrimp is very low in calories so it makes an awesome dinner!Suburban Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08229769705478339351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4944901279285731398.post-26149679450915125952010-04-08T06:41:08.179-07:002010-04-08T06:41:08.179-07:00I'm on day 7 of counting - like you I have fin...I'm on day 7 of counting - like you I have finally conceded that's the only way I will make those 5 pounds budge. I have to be a in bikini in two weeks for a date (good motivation). I'm trying to stay within 1200-1300 and wondering if even that is low enough to actually lose! I'm a grazer so I eat all day - I have taken to eating an apple every day, it's very filling, great fiber and provides extra water... I always aim for 3-4 fruit servings a day, along with a low fat yogurt and fiber bar daily - already 600 calories - so that doesn't leave a whole lot of extra calories for meals. I am learning to be creative AND low cal at the same time - the key is lots of herbs and balsamic vinegar. Thx for posting Karen, looking forward to seeing your progress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
