As promised my weekly weigh in....71kg exactly so that's a 1.4kg loss, I'm absolutely stoked with that, I'm aware I won't have losses like that every week, probably more like 1kg or less but the first week is always more. Soo I've typed out my food journal for you also, you will see how much I love bacon and I love dark chocolate and I can still eat it and lose :)

Thank you so much for sharing your weekly meals and progress. Please keep it coming. I find you such an inspiration and always look for your RSS feeds. May I ask how you do your cheese sauce that I've seen you put on broccoli (I can't seem to find it on the blog unless I'm blind) without flour? Ann from Oz.
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle
ReplyDeleteI am also very grateful that you are sharing your food journal as a fellow New Zealander just starting out on this lifestyle I need all the info I can get. Can you please tell me the brand of stock that you use to make your reductions?
Thanks
Thank you so much for posting your food journal. It is helping me to read it. I must confess I am a little frustrated since you seem to be able to eat so much more than I can and still lose weight. My weight loss is totally stalled for some reason. Anyway, enough of my complaining, thanks again for sharing all of this information with us!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Ann, your welcome! I make cheese sauce with cream and let it boil to reduction but not too thick then add whatever cheese I want, no need for flour but it is rich and you don't need much :)
ReplyDeleteHey fellow NZ'r! so great that you are following primal :) I buy the Essential Cuisine beef stock, 1 packet is around $4 so I use half of that stock and top it up with cream and a bit of tamari for extra flavour and just reduce, again it's so rich you don't need loads :)
Hey Dollyfinn, no problem I'm glad you find it helpful :) No doubt your stalled weight will start coming off! I'm always careful with my portion sizes and as you'll see it was only one day that I ate 3 meals otherwise it's most common I have two or even one depending on my hunger levels.
HI Michele!
ReplyDeleteNice to see you posting again! I love the new format too!
I will be visiting and am happy for your awesome progress.

Thanks for stopping by Marianne, nice to see your still following my progress as you have been there almost from the start which is very cool :) x
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting your food journal:)I also always make room for chocolate!!
ReplyDeleteHey trixie, your welcome! yes chocolate will always be on my menu and the darker the better :)
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle. I have once spoken to you on the Ashy Bines forum and although this information is very useful I was hoping you could tell me what you had when you were strict dieting?
ReplyDeleteAs I said on the forum you are such an inspiration to myself and all of the other girls on Ashy Bines so keep up the great work and I hope to hear back from you soon.

Hey Em! Nice you have stopped by :) Here's a link to just over a week of what I would have called my weight loss eats: http://primaljourney.blogspot.co.nz/2009/06/food-diary-and-stats.html Just remember this isn't the same as Ashy's plan, hers is fine and nothing wrong with it but I concentrate more on higher fat and lower carbs because I feel better with that combo. Hope this helps x
