- Just thought I would share something that I’ve been thinking about lately.
When I started this DietBet I thought it would try something different. When it comes to losing weight I have often felt it was a struggle, I would have really intense cravings and poor self control and struggled feeling full. This time my cravings are easier and at the end of the day I feel full and content. The major thing I changed? I stopped meal prepping. I know it works for a lot of people but I often turn to ordering in because the food in my fridge doesn’t excite or tempt me after a day or two. But a freshly cooked dinner and getting to play around and experiment in the kitchen while choosing to focus on healthy but non restrictive dinners has been life changing. I’ve cooked a fresh dinner almost every day! I’ve also stopped being afraid of carbs!
In a way it feels like I’m only on a diet when I’m at work where I still do full meal replacements breakfast and lunch. When I get home I eat what i’m carving that day, and that flexibility and ability to give in to my food craving has been amazing. Today all I wanted was Thai cashew chicken, after work I dropped by a local Asian food market to get a couple of things I was missing and made it happen! Currently feeling very satisfied and full!
This morning I’m down 15 kg (33 lbs) since January!
