I finally sent a text to my trainer asking for a little training freedom tonight. Just one session a week to do my own thing would be nice. I don’t think he’s very impressed…
I have taken his advice about diet though and am slowly bringing in change.
Up until July my weekdaydiet looked a little like this:
No sugar museli and low fat soya milk, tea and fruit juice at around 6:45am
Apple 10:30 ish water
Salad wrap with either cheese or quorn, diet yoghurt, fruit 12:00 ish water
A handful of nuts/a biscuit or some fruit 4:ish water
Main meal- usually vegetarian protein source e.g. nuts, beans, quorn, cheese, egg + carbohydrate (rice, pasta, quiona,coucous) and a vegetable
fruit and juice
The problem with this diet is that it contained too much fruit sugar and carbohydrate and I was suffering badly with energy crashes.
So I’ve made some changes:
Country Walking magazine suggested fruit with the museli would help breakfast last longer (I can’t face eggs at this time)
Mid- morning – homemade protein bar:peanut butter,oatmeal, whey protein and water. This sustains me really well.
Either replace wrap with a salad or have wrap now and no carbohydrate for evening meal. Am surprised by how filling a salad can be.
Mid afternoon- small snack of falafel or quorn pieces- this really stops sugar crash and helps me through evening workout.
Evening meal: Protein and veg- small carbohydrate if none at lunch
Fruit snack and diet hot choc if get evening cravings.
My energy levels are better and I’ve lost a little weight despite less intense workouts. Weekends are slightly different because I share bread based breakfast with my partner much later in the morning. But am stll cutting do
