May 19

1st day of alternate day fasting. Wanted to fast for 36 hours but got up in the middle of the night because of hunger and couldn't so it.

I ended my fast after 29 hours. Hopefully, it will become easier with time and I will be able to last longer. Proud of this regardless.

Broke my fast with : (around 11.30 pm)

40 grams: oats

89 grams: green pepper

90 grams: boiled egg (2 hard boiled)

10 grams: ginger garlic paste

Chilli flakes & little bit of salt

Also had leftover chicken (curry style) (forgot to take the weight)

Estimated calories: 500 calories (I am guessing on the higher side)

May 18

It has been extremely hard for me to control my emotional eating these couple of days, so I let myself grieve and eat as much as I want.

Today is the end. I have to get my life together. I have heard a lot about alternate day fasting and I want to try it out and I want to start counting my calories. My mindset has changed and I am emotionally devastated by what has happened but mentally, i am feeling strong enough to put myself first.

I am mentally strong enough now to not starve myself and really work towards my health. I have made some mistakes regarding my diet but the only thing I can do is promise myself that nothing will affect me from now on.

This is my body and my life and I need to be happy in my own body and to do so, I need to make drastic changes.

Tomorrow is my 1st day of ADF. ( I am planning to fast for 36 hours ) let's see how I cope.

Let the games begin.

BREAKFAST: boiled chicken (made with ginger, garlic, tomatoes) and soy milk (with ice)

DESSERT: 1 banana, 3 dates and crunchy peanut butter

May 11th

Breakfast: 2 cups of puffed rice, leftover sesame seeds potatoes & overnight oats (added more soy milk in the morning)

Snack: coffee with soy milk

Snack: mushroom on toast with a boiled egg with chilli flakes on top as well

Lunch: 1 mushroom wrap (I had prepared the mushroom recipe in bulk, so that I can just put it in a wrap, or on top of toast or have it with rice. Convenient and quick)

Old habits are very hard to kill. My resolve was strong but at night I had - rice, leftover of the mushroom thingy I had made, garlic pickle (which was extremely oily) and some tandoori mayo. Before all of this, I also had walnuts and 3 dates.

I thought I was done, but no, I had - 1 boiled egg with tandoori mayo and overnight oats I had made with dates.

I know I am eating healthy foods but the amount is too excessive. Will go on a stricter diet from tomorrow onwards. I am holding myself accountable now.

When I am eating sonething unplanned and excessive in my mind, then I don't feel like taking a picture. Why am I like this? I know 3 days is nothing and not a huge set back but it does make me feel like a failure, especially when I feel the "too full" feeling.

Conclusion: today was a too much carbs day. I know now that I need to be stricter with myself when it comes to consuming flour products and rice. I think I had enough carbs to keep me satisfied for a while, hopefully!

May 9th: a "too much food" day

Days like these are bound to happen once in a while and I am determined to not let myself feel bad about it.

It started on a promising note with boiled eggs and black coffee.

Later, I had the leftovers from yesterday and a bite of my mom's buttered toast and dates

However, I went back to fill my water bottle and ended up having - corn of the cob (2 whole 🌽) with tandoori mayo and sweet chilli sauce, vegetable fritters, soy milk and cupcake. Mom was making the corn and fritters, I planned to taste but ended up eating the whole thing and because the vegetable fritters were extremely spicy, i ended up having a cupcake and soy milk.

But it doesn't end there, I ended up having rice, sour dal, boiled chickpeas, carrot and tahini as dinner because I didn't want to make myself hungry around midnight.

It was a good eating day but this is going to be an exception. No more over indulgence. My main goal has always been to make my portion sizes smaller and that goal has been a complete fail today.

Tomorrow is a new day, I WILL DO BETTER!

[delicatedeebee]

evening snack 09/05

2 whole corn on cob - boiled - one with tandoori mayo and the other one with sweet chilli sauce

Vegetable fritters - 2

Soy milk - 1 glass

Custard cupcake - 1 pkt

May 9th lunch

Leftovers from last night's dinner and 2 dates (arabian) for dessert. Also, a bite of my mom's buttered toast.

In-between breakfast and lunch, I had a tall glass of iced americano (no sugar)

[delicatedeebee]

May 9th breakfast

2 boiled eggs topped with vegan mayonnaise, chilli flakes and Himalayan pink salt.

Accompanied by a large glass of cold water.

May 8th dinner

Half of a red onion

Half of a capsicum

1 whole tomato

1 heaping cup of boiled Chickpeas

Half tbsp - ginger garlic paste

Half tbsp - dark soy sauce

2 tbsps - tahini (homemade)

Chilli flakes

1 cup - Puffed rice

Mustard oil

Recipe -

Oiled a non stick pan with mustard oil, just coated it enough so that nothing sticks

Fried onion and ginger garlic paste first, followed by chickpeas, capsicum, soy sauce, tahini

Lastly added the tomato because I didn't want it to be mushy and a little bit of salt

While playing, added the puffed rice below and then added all of it on top

And sprinkled chilli flakes on top

I couldn't finish the entire meal as I felt too full, have refrigerated the leftovers. Also, I would suggest to put the puffed rice on top, to retain its crunch, however, i love soggy stuff, so I prefer soggy puffed rice - it has this feeling of getting stuck on your teeth which i enjoy.

May 8th snack

This is a pre workout snack - 1 banana, 3 walnuts and roasted peanuts.

Could have had peanut butter but I wanted something crunchy instead and crunchy peanut butter would not satisfy.

[delicatedeebee]

May 8th lunch

Wasn't feeling very hungry as I had another large cup of cold coffee made with soy milk. Thus, only had one cupcake.

Recently bought the 6 pack box and have been utterly obsessed. The centre filling tastes a little eggy but that's what makes it more delish.

I keep these in the fridge and would recommend the experience.

May 8th breakfast

SCRAMBLED EGG WITH VEGGIES (recipe)

2 tsp mustard oil (to coat the pan)

2 eggs (whisked)

Half a capsicum

3 button mushrooms

1 tsp ginger garlic paste (elevates the taste to another level)

Half a red onion

Salt

Sprinkled with chilli flakes in the end

Accompanied with an iced latte made with soy milk.

May 7th dinner

Was weirdly feeling hungry around 4.30 - 5pm, thus had a toasted slice of white bread with crunchy peanut butter and leftover tomato from the morning with salt.

Very satiating. I have realised that I can forego having grocery store bought breads but when it comes to bakery breads, my willpower is a little shaky. However, I did thoroughly enjoy the 2 slices of bread I had today.

DINNER (8pm) : 2 cups of boiled Chickpeas, 2 tbsp of homemade tahini, 1 tsp ginger garlic paste, salt, chilli flakes and 1 tomato diced and mixed in with the chickpeas and half of another tomato sliced and plated.

Today was a very tomato heavy day... I wonder why

I had leftover chia flax banana pudding that I made in the morning. I had some in the afternoon and finished it after dinner.

I realised that I was hungrier today. Let's hope that tomorrow I don't feel as hungry.

[delicatedeebee]

May 7th: lunch

1 banana - mashed

Half tbsp of chia seeds and flax seeds, each - crushed in the blender together

Half cup soy milk

1 tbsp of roasted rice porridge powder

3 walnut brains

Pinch of cinnamon powder

This was made in the morning and kept in the fridge - the consistency is similar to chia pudding. Added the walnuts in the end, just before eating, for the crunch.

I like to mash the banana instead of blending it because I want a little thicker chunks of banana when I eat it, I don't like the consistency to be too smooth.

Fish curry - made with sponge gourd and potato (had 1 piece of fish and a bit of sponge gourd)

Salad - tomato, cucumber, onion, chickpeas, lemon juice, green chilli ( had a little bit) (no dressing, no salt, only lemon juice, the fish curry was salty enough for both)

Currently I am obsessed with fruit forks and ceramic soup spoons, hence using it to eat the chickpeas and the pudding.

Had this meal around 2.30pm.

May 7th #1

MINDNIGHT MUNCHIES: (12:30am)

Leftover tuna chunks in sunflower oil (more like shreds)

7 cashews

1 date

2 tbsps of roasted peanuts

BREAKFAST: (10.30am)

Single piece of white toasted bread

Few slices of tomato

A boiled egg on top, sprinkled with salt

Vegan mayo lightly spread on the bread

Coffee - 1 tsp of instant coffee with a splash of soy milk (low sugar soy milk)

Didn't really plan to eat after my dinner but my stomach was rumbling too much and I couldn't sleep, so I had things that would fill me up without being too much food.
