Down 1.1 lbs at the end of week 4

I am down over all, but up from last week. I am going to start calorie counting this week.

Sprouts! I love sprouts. They are super tasty with the Field Roast Vegan Sausage.

Week 5 Protein

I tried the Field Roast Italian last week. It is super good. Also, each one has 25g of protein! I like to break them up into small pieces with my fingers, heat them up with legumes, and consume with spinach, sauerkraut, and sriracha.

The Veggie Dogs I have been eating for a while. They are pretty okay. I have to eat 3 of them to get enough protein. I like them with sauerkraut and sriracha. Then I usually have a bean salad also.

Cheat days are the best. Thai Vegan is even better.

Getting back on track after SF cheat week!

Down 1.8 lbs at the end of week 3

I was super surprised that I was down 1.8 lbs! I had been in SF for most of the week and did not adhere to the diet very well. However, I did notice that I was eating less because the carbs seemed to fill be up very quickly.

Down 0.0 lbs at the end of week 2

Results are not what I was expecting or hoping for. I still hadn't finished my period yet though, so maybe that was the cause of the extra weight.

Cheat week in SF

[slow-carb-vegan]

Time for another cheat day! I woke up and had a protein shake for my 30 and 30. Then for lunch I headed over to Veggie Grill and got the same thing I did last week: nachos & a grilled cookie. After lunch I grabbed some red bull and vodka.

Dinner last night was tasty

[slow-carb-vegan]

Lunch today was the rest of the cauliflower curry mash, cinnamon, black beans, veggie dogs (soy) and sauerkraut. It was easy to pack and bring with me as I did not work from home today. It was also delicious.

For breakfast this morning I combined my salad and smoothie. It wasn't the best thing it in the world, but I thought it was pretty okay™ it's easier for me to drink things in tr morning, so I might be going this route a lot more often.

Tried another new wine last night.

Down 0.8 lbs at the end of week 1

Well I'm technically down 0.8 lbs after a week on the slow carb diet. Honestly, I was expecting the number to be a bit larger. I think I might have eaten too large of portions and also too much seitan and tofu. TMI alert. My period is a week late, and you're supposed to ignore measurements 10 days leading up to your period. So I'm not sure where that leaves me. I'm enjoying the diet. I've felt full until it is time to eat again and I enjoy the food I'm eating. I hope I have some more noticeable results next week.
