7th day Diet Challenge

Mealtimes	Type of food	Drinks	What to avoid
BREAKFAST	2 half boiled eggs with a dah of pepper and soy sauce	SDII shake and water before meal	Carbohydrate, sugar and caffeine
LUNCH DINNER  SUPPER	Chicken soup at PELITA Fruits (banana and mata kucing)	hot lime barley water SDII shake and fiber

My reflection: I got my menses today so I skipped taking SDII shake for two mealtimes. My friend told me fat burning slows down during menstruation and since this is my first day I took it easy on my slimming down effort. I did not take any carbo however, but I took a lot of fruits for dinner. Noted that fructose (sugar) in fruits can be stored as fat as well so fruits are not recommended during this diet programme but I did some workout in the morning so my guess that compensated my binge on the mata kucing (which is my favourite and they are in season!). Anyway, I have aimed for running on the treadmill as an everyday initiative so hope that whatever I lack today I will improve tomorrow.

6th Day Diet Challenge

Mealtimes	Type of food	Drinks	What to avoid
BREAKFAST	2 half-boiled eggs with white pepper and soy sauce 1 cup of tea with no sugar and cream	SDII shake and water before meal	Carbohydrate, sugar and caffeine
LUNCH DINNER   SUPPER	Black pepper smoke salmon with a dash of balsamic vinegar Roasted chicken salad with lettuce and mayo dressing	SDII shake and water before meal SDII shake and water before meal SDII shake and FIBER MAX

My reflection: My craving for coffee has subsided a little. I still feel a little sleepy after 3pm (that's when I usually need my caffeine boost) but this morning I managed to slot in a 20 minute run on the treadmill. I guess exercise helps to keep you energetic. I'm beginning to enjoy eating eventhough there are no carbs - guess you need to be  a little creative in your food choices. I'm beginning to become an expert at the salad section in restaurants now that I'm pretty much confined to just veg and protein!

My reflection: I was craving coffee all the time this morning! I'm having a caffeine withdrawal - feeling sleepy and lethargic when I'm sitting still but I busy myself with things so it went away. By evening I feel okay and I psyched myself by checking out the weighing scale - 2 kilos off! So that is a very good sign. :)

3rd Day Diet Challenge

Mealtimes	Type of food	Drinks	What to avoid
BREAKFAST	Scrambled eggs with baked beans	SDII shake and water before meal	Carbohydrate, sugar and caffeine
LUNCH DINNER SUPPER	3 small pieces of fried chicken 3 grilled beef sausages	SDII shake and water before meal SDII shake and water before meal SDII shake and fiber

My reflection: I was complaining to my friend about what to eat because I started dreading life without rice or even bread for next few weeks. Sometimes when you start dieting things can get rough and makes you want to give up but I quickly busy myself with work and the thought of looking svelte in 20 days. That really motivates me and made me persevere through my sausages. :)

2nd Day Diet Challenge

2nd Day DIET MENU with SDII and FIBER (SUN 25.03.2012)

Mealtimes	Type of food	Drinks	What to avoid
BREAKFAST	2 scrambled eggs with mayonnaise, diced tomato and baked beans	SDII shake and water before meal	Carbohydrate, sugar and caffeine
LUNCH DINNER SUPPER	Chicken and lamb kebab with spinach masala Black pepper salmon with sliced jalapeno (cut chilli)	SDII shake and water before meal SDII shake and water before meal SDII shake and fiber

My reflection:  I eat less now what with no carbs and only protein but I still feel full until the next meal so I figured what SDII does is it cuts half of my appetite but I still feel as if I had a full course meal. I did cheat a little with a sweetened and creamy drink today - this afternoon I had lunch with my husband at DOME and while he ate I had a tall glass of chai tea ( I wanted something hot and yummy!)  so that was my cheat for the week. Thought of running on the treadmill but was occupied with my baby the whole day. Then the salmon with jalapeno slices was very nice - I still enjoy a good healthy meal eventhough there was no rice or other carbs to compliment it. Will make room for some cardio workouttomorrow  so as to assist the fat burning process.

First day Diet Challenge

1 st Day DIET MENU with SDII and FIBER MAXX  (SAT 24.03.2012)

Mealtimes	Type of food	Drinks	What to avoid
BREAKFAST	2 half-boiled eggs with white pepper and soy sauce 1 cup of tea with no sugar and cream	SDII shake and water before meal	Carbohydrate, sugar and caffeine
LUNCH DINNER SUPPER	Chicken Kebab (8 small pieces of chicken breasts) with lassi 2 grilled sausages	SDII shake and water before meal SDII shake and water before meal  SDII shake and fiber

My reflection: The diet was easy in the morning as my eggs was tasty because I put a lot of pepper in it. However by 11am I've started to feel hungry but it wasn't intense until 1 pm. My friend had informed that my body will adjust to the lack of snacking in between mealtimes after a few days so I need to put away my coffee and crackers and wait for lunch. I had a meeting and lunch had to wait until after 2 pm. By then I managed to drink my shake and immediately the cravings stop. I had some delicious chicken kebab and lassi at an Indian restaurant.  Later at 7pm, I managed another shake and grilled 2 beef sausages. There was no pangs of hunger and I feel comfortable. I was pretty excited to measure myself on the scale. Looks like I've lost 1/2 a kg? Or is it just my imagination? I'm 63 kg and loooooosing... What I know is I'm pretty psyched to proceed. :)
