With my half marathon looming and the FoodandBiscuits massive on a bit of a health kick, I opened a book for the first time which I bought a good 3 years ago called 'The Abs Diet'. On further reading it doesn't look too difficult to follow so we have decided to give it a crack.
I am not to fussed about rock hard abs, but it would be nice to lose some of the belly!!!
From a food point of a view it revolves around at least 2 of these things at 6 daily meals (including snacks);
| 1. Almonds and Other Nuts eaten with skins intact. |
| 2. Beans and Other Legumes |
| 3. Spinach and Other Green Vegetables |
| 4. Dairy: Fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese |
| 5. Instant Oatmeal: Unsweetened, unflavored |
| 6. Eggs |
| 7. Turkey and other lean meats. Lean steak, chicken, fish |
| 8. Peanut Butter – All-natural, sugar-free. |
| 9. Olive Oil |
| 10. Whole-Grain Breads and Cereals |
| 11. Extra-Protein Powder(Whey) |
| 12. Raspberries and Other Berries |
So, today I had meals in this order;
- Scrambled eggs, spinach on a slice of wholemeal
- A couple of spoons of peanut butter
- Salad with a few slices of saucisson (not part of the diet but it has come over from Paris and I love it!)
- 3 ritz crackers and Parisian Camembert (again not on the list but see above and picture below!)
- Muesli with blue berries and low fat creme fresh
- Mackerel with quinoa salad - this was dinner that Jo made - see pictures below (very light but full of flavour)
All in I don't think I have eaten too badly!! Ok, I haven't stuck to the diet to the letter but at least there are no Kit Kat Chunkys!! (my fav chocolate bar)
