Well it's already time for my Week 4 review. I've lost 6.5 kg (since starting), 1.2 kg this week and I'm finally starting to lose cm as well. I'm no longer missing bread, rice and pasta and am enjoying a wide range of veg instead. My OH only eats salad, so prior to starting this diet I'd really slackened off in that department. I'm also feeling more energetic, which is helping at the gym! My challenge last week was to drink more water and I downloaded a 'water reminder' app which has really helped. One of my goals is to improve my cholesterol scores, so my focus over the next few weeks is dietary fats. I've already cut out all trans fats (store-bought cakes, biscuits, chips etc) and limited saturated fats.
My focus this week is monounsaturated fats, which help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol. I'll be ensuring I include avocado, olive oil, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, almonds, cashews and peanuts this week. Nuts are an important part of the Med diet as a good source of healthy fat, protein and fibre. I'll be including them most days of the week :)
