First Cheat(ish) Day

I’ve only been on the dang diet like 2 days so I absolutely haven’t earned a cheat day, but we had a big family event planned so I did a mini one; I had a Slow Carb breakfast and 90% SC lunch, (plus half a corn cob.)

  I only really cheated at tea, when I had had a scone with jam and clotted cream (I cannot resist a cream tea; the best.) and half a piece of polenta cake, as well as a very small iced coffee with REAL MILK; I’ve been having noticable carb withdrawals the last few days so I didn’t want to go TOO CRAZY and totally undo the work I’ve been doing to detox from them. NEXT cheat day, however... ohhhh you better believe. 

However, that all being said, already on day three I kind of looked at the carb options and wasn’t immediately like “MUST HAVE.” so that’s progress.

First lunch/ beanmeal on slow carb, very tasty- very satisfying.

Tuna, cannellini beans and red onion, with lime juice, salt, pepper and lime-pepper-twist, a seasoning which is basically MORE PEPPER, dried lime peel, garlic and a few other spices- feels good, man.

Salad is about a cup of raw spinach and then a handful of beetroot salad, with a lil drizzle of oil and vinegar.
