Questions to everyone.
1. I found food without salt VERY BORING. is there any receipts to make the dish tasty but salt friendly at the same time? I can't imagine myself munching 140g of elbows without any source or dressing..
2 Tofu. is it in veggie category, protein category or since it is technically PROCESSED food, you avoid eating?
Today's new finding
1. Low Fat milk is hard to get in Japan.. I hates milk and last time I drank it was almost 2 decades ago so it never occurs to me how difficult to get low fat milk in Japan. I was expecting it is easily obtainable in convenience store around the office but couldn't find one. same for low fat yogurt.. You imagine Japan where people eats healthy stuff, it will be easy to get the healthy daily products but seems it's not. I will go to supermarket near my house tomorrow. (I had drink non-sugar soy milk today instead)
2. brown rice took ages to cook. I had to wait 2 and a half hours to get 1 cup of brown rice... I will incorporates this into the plan going forward..
Breakfast: 3 thick slices of bread (90g carbs), egg and 130g veggies
Lunch: No photo...
Dinner: brown rice which took age to cook with some veggie from Chige-hotpot. (I should not have eaten this as it was WAY TOO SALTY.)
Exercise
- day 8 exercise is all completed. (tried highest number of rep for a set). Enjoyed the variety now.
- 5.8km jog
- 18km bicycle ride
I'm a salt lover too... the best substitute I've found so far is spice and herbs, but also chilli. I grind up a paste of chilli ginger and garlic, and add some lime juice to it. It's salt-free, but very tasty, and add that to my savory foods when I feel it's tasting a bit bland.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same thing about Tofu! I finally decided it must be in the carbs group and settled with that. It is a bean after all and that seems to be in the cereal, wheat, etc category.
ReplyDeleteI was shocked as well with the amount of food! I must admit, I haven't eaten this much veg since I was 12 so I think that is what is throwing me.
Really feeling the lack of sugar in my diet! Quiet tired at times during the day. The fruit picks me up a bit but it's different from a Snickers!! ;-)
バルサミコ少しかけるといいよ。あとは何種類か一緒にして味に変化を付けるとか。レモン汁かけるとか。味なしはひと月もすれば慣れるよ。乳製品は生協かアマゾンで。
ReplyDelete豆腐はNG。
ReplyDeleteUse garlic slices with a smidgen of olive oil browned up and then add your egg / go through George Bumstead's blogs and look up his PCP friendly salt mix recipe which saved a good number of us during our 90 days. Best wishes on PCP.
ReplyDeleteThanx everyone with the great suggestion. I will try and see how it goes!
ReplyDeletePat, how you surviving? whenever my body start needing those sugar, I go with steam carrots, pumpkin. Once steamed, they are REALLY sweat!!
