2016 has been a year of breaking old habits and making new (healthy) ones. First week of January, I decided to give a kick-start to my healthy eating habits. My husband and I decided to experiment six days of NO SUGAR, NO STARCH, & NO DAIRY and on seventh day eat our hearts out. (What triggered the decision and how it went coming up tomorrow). Today I am sharing the food choices I have made during that week (6 six days) and also in the following weeks.
In the past, even when I am making good choices, I have struggled with portion control. Also on cheat days I felt I always went over board. Re-setting my diet in this drastic way (for just one week) has helped me with both those issues. I am keeping my fingers-crossed that these new habits are life long and not temporary. I will keep you posted on how it goes, and promise to report back even when I fail.
Below is what my husband and I ate for the first six days. Over the course of following three weeks, we added healthy carbs and fruits back but only in moderation and for no more than once a week.
I am a vegetarian who doesn't eat any meat or raw egg. FYI
My husband eats everything and has no dietary restrictions.
