Slow and steady (Day 2)

The day started pretty much the same as yesterday (Day 1). Got up early for a few quick rounds of brisk walk.

Daily summary
Breakfast – 2 x bacon and 1 x sausage (shared with Master Prince of course)
Lunch – Roast pork, see pix below. Absolutely adore the cruchy crackle skin.

Snack – Seaweed
Dinner – Grilled mackerel, refer to pix below
Exercise – Brisk walk
Other comments – I was a slightly heady in the afternoon, not sure why, so I had a lie down for a while before it cleared up plus stored up on plenty of water.

So why Atkins?
There are many programs out there – South Beach, Fat burner, Weightwatchers, etc.

Reason why I chose Atkins is that it works. Bonus point is that you can eat and still lose weight. As much as I’ve tried (believe me), I’m just not one of those that can starve. That is why I always assure my parents and DH, not to worry!

Sounds like a breeze doesn’t it? As you know, nothing in this world comes 'free' and without effort. As easy and simple as it sounds that you can eat all you want and still lose weight – it can still be difficult!!

Don’t believe me? Try it and tell me otherwise.

The main gripe for me is probably the curb in freedom to eat anything I like and want. Sure I like bacon and sausages but how much of these can you consume before you get tired of them. Even your most favourite protein food can be a turn off during this time. Hence its important to insist on variety to keep the whole program ‘fresh and interesting’. Boredom can be a catalyst to binges. Definitely something to avoid.

Dinner @ Hokano. I had previously blogged about this place and seem to be a frequent venue for me now, ha ha. The best asset and attraction about this place is that their food and prices are reasoanble. Plus parking is ample too!!
