Question:
Absolutely *exhausted* yesterday, overdid it at the ice rink on Thursday night. Food: 12.45 2 small potatoes, 1/2 Romaine lettuce, Nice bits salad (tomato, avocado, cucumber, pepper, low-fat tomato/basil dressing; as last night - finishing it), 1 small tin baked beans 13.30 2 apricots, lemon ice lolly 14.30 1 tablespoon fresh fruit salad 17.30 small bunch seedless grapes (I had been asleep and was very thirsty) 20.00 Butternut squash and mushroom risotto Blackberry/raspberry parfait 5 olives (needed something savoury, and thought olives would be better than cheese). Exercise: none Pedometer: 520 - how on earth did it get *that* high, I was asleep most of the day!
Answer:
What's bad about low-fat? You eat lots of lovely fruit and tangy plain yogurt instead of ice cream. Not using butter on your bread isn't such a hardship when it's really good bread. You use mustard and ketchup in your sandwiches but not mayonnaise. You leave the cheese out of your chili but you add peppers -- yumm! You make oven fries with Pam and Mrs. Dash seasonings instead of deep frying. You can still have wine and beer and so on (7 calories a gram instead of 9 for fat but it's still empty calories so watch it). I have a ton of low-fat recipes that taste great. You're not losing flavor unless you are using the wrong recipe book. So what's the problem?
