I have decided to follow a lower carb diet in a hope to lose a few pounds before we head to the states and I put them back on and probably more. I’m not cutting them out completely as I love overnight oats for breakfast.
However, I am trying to eat less bread, potatoes and pasta. Especially after 4pm. I have been doing this for 2 weeks now and lost a couple of kilograms so am heading in the right direction. I have been replacing pasta with courgettes, rice with cauliflower and potatoes with butternut squash.
So what is on the cards for this week?
Sunday: Ham, Egg and chips (I will be trying butternut squash ones from Sainsbury’s.) We were meant to have this last week but I forgot to put it on before work and ended up with freezer surprise for tea.
Monday: Tacos. I will be having lettuce cups rather than the crispy shells
Tuesday: Scrambled egg and chorizo, but no bagel or toast for me.
Wednesday: Pizza. I am going to give a cauliflower crust a go. I will let you know my verdict!
Thursday: Lemon Chicken. This is a recipe I have never tried before but have been looking for inspiration from one of the many recipe books I own so again will give it a go.
Friday: Slow cooked chicken Korma. A favourite of all the family and I love a curry on a Friday night.
Saturday: Hoisin chicken skewers and salad.
What have you got planned this week?
