I’ve told you that I like to face fear head-on.
And, in the past, I have struggled with the fear of failure.
So, with my diet and weight loss, I have faced this fear head on. In other words, I have failed completely.
So, it’s back to the drawing board. I am doing low-carb, for two weeks, once again, with the exception of sushi bentos for lunch, thanks to the inexpensive nori that we found at the salvage grocery store. Low-carb meals do cost a bit more to prepare–we’re looking at $80-$100 per week. But I think we’re best off doing that for a couple of weeks, then adding whole grains back in.
I love to look at meal plans, to get ideas for myself. So here is my meal plan, for this week. I’ve just planned breakfasts and dinners, because I will be having sushi for lunch and Rob will be having salad or leftovers. (Beanie’s lunch is provided at her school).
Here is the plan:
Monday
Breakfast: Parmesan Eggs
Dinner: Curried Chicken with broccoli, Cashew Salad
Tuesday
Breakfast: Tuscan Baked Eggs
Dinner: Broccoli Cheese Casserole, BLT Salad, Roasted vegetables
Wednesday
Breakfast: Mexican Eggs
Dinner: Mexican Casserole, Roasted Vegetables, Cashew Salad
Thursday
Breakfast: Kale and Feta Casserole
Dinner: Spinach and Mozzarella Egg Bake, Roasted Vegetables, Cashew Salad
Friday
Breakfast: Kale and Feta Casserole
Dinner: Swedish Meatballs, BLT Salad, Roasted Vegetables
Saturday
Breakfast: Bell Pepper Casserole
Dinner: Greek Meatballs, BLT Salad, Roasted Vegetables
Sunday
Breakfast: Bell Pepper Casserole
Dinner: Bacon and Cheese Casserole, BLT Salad, Roasted Vegetables
So, what exciting meals are you having this week?
I like your plan! I have never done too well on low/no carb diets but my husband could do it forever and they really do work well. I’ve been doing a great no carb granola for breakfast lately (which I have with Greek yoghurt) which I plan on doing on the blog over the weekend. I’ll let you know when I do it as its a great filler upper with lots of good fats to get you through to morning tea.
Low carb works well, when you have higher blood sugar, like I do. I have a friend with low blood sugar, and she feels sick if she doesn’t eat enough carbs.
Hi! I know you are having a break right now but I thought I would send you this recipe which is low carb and very easy to make. Hoping you have had a wonderful Easter break. http://bookgirloz.wordpress.com/2013/04/01/low-carb-coconut-crunch-a-brilliant-breakfast-for-those-quitting-sugar/

i do have some suggestions for your planned diet. i think that maybe you should incorporate some sort of high fiber breakfast into your week . Some sort of good cereal or oatmeal with some fruit, this will keep you full for hours. Also, a couple of years ago I stopped eating dinner (a big dinner anyway), I have my main meal at lunchtime and then something light in the evening like soup, etc. You could make your daughter something and then you and hubby could eat a light dinner. This has worked very well for me as I can burn off everything I eat at lunch and I’m not sluggish in the evening. We used to make fun of senior citizens eating dinner at 4:00 in the afternoon, that’s why they do it. I’ve never been a fan of low carb diets, but being a vegan, I have to always watch the amount of carbs I take in anyway. I think you should at least try this and see if you feel better and start to lose weight. I don’t think you’re getting enough food at lunch, just a suggestion. Good luck
Good suggestions. I really need to work on eating more, earlier in the day. I tend to get too many of my calories at dinner time.
