I eat pretty well (according to the average eating habits of the general population) with loads of fresh produce - vegetables and fruit. I stick to wholegrains. I drink plenty of water. I admit that I have a sweet tooth so desserts are my fave, especially when dining out. I know that I get way too many of my calories from "naughty foods".
Due to being wined and dined by my spunky man over a number of months, I have slowly put on weight (not only as a result of eating more but also working out less) to such a point that I no longer fit into my jeans. Or my work clothes. Moreover, I am uncomfortable in my own skin. Which I do not like.
My spunky man, however, has come to the rescue (again) and recommended a new diet that has me upping my protein; cutting out all sugar (I cheat and have a little honey) and reducing carbs. Let me point out that my spunky man is qualified; I'm not taking advice from some random on the street.
So my day currently looks like this -
Lemon water prior to training
Broccoli/asparagus and egg for breakfast (plus fish oil)
Oats, blueberries, skim milk, natural Greek yoghurt and a teaspoon of honey for brunch
Salad with hemp seeds for lunch
Raw carrot and almonds for afternoon tea
Vegetables for dinner

Add copious amounts of water (probably close to 4 litres) and a couple of cups of weak black tea and we're done .
To be fair, I have not been hungry per se but the headaches. Oh sweet zombie Jesus; the headaches. The high tempo whine in my temples is almost unbearable. I know that this is my body and brain readjusting to the lower sugar levels in my diet but - wow! Just wow! And I don't consider myself as having a high sugar diet in the first place - I ingest natural sugars from milk and honey plus the occasional piece of chocolate (note, not block, piece). At this point I am really hoping they last only another few days.
