Ok, so a while ago I read about this diet plan that involves basically having your dinner in the morning, then lunch, then breakfast in the evening. It means that by having your largest meal first thing, you've given yourself time to burn it off by the end of the day. Plus it boosts metabolism and ends on a light meal so you don't go to bed full and bloated. This idea appealed to me because even though almost every girl I know who has an eating disorder absolutely hates breakfast, I love it. Even back in the days when I barely ate, and lived off cupasoups and black coffee, I always had either some fruit or some muesli in the morning. I always feel hungry and up for a whole load of food when I wake up, so I've decided to give this idea a try.
So far it's only day 2, but I've already lost a pound so I'm looking forward to seeing how much I can lose doing this. This morning I re-heated some vegetables, gravy and potato from last night's roast dinner that I didn't have any of, and ate that. For lunch I'll probably just have a yogurt and some sunbite crisps or something, and then dinner I'll have a bowl of fruit cereal and a cup of tea.
The only problem with this diet is, it kind of feels like your day has got off to a bad start, like you're supposed to be losing weight and you've started your morning with a mountain of food. But when you consider it, it does make sense so I'll give it a try and post an update on here about whether it works.
Now going to go for a swim with my boyfriend. I'm pretty freaking lucky that he has a pool because I love swimming but I can't imagine going to a public one and not feeling like a self-conscious, overly-anxious giant whale. I even feel a bit weird being in a bikini infront of him, which considering we've been together two years is not right at all.
Time to go burn off the roast dinner I had for breakfast though. Hope everyone's doing ok x
I like the saying "Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a pauper", though I don't use it myself. Have fun swimming with your boyfriend!

Yes! It seems to make perfect sense when you think about it, although it does seem to make me extra hungry for some reason, maybe because it's boosted my metabolism so I'm burning more across the day but by the time it gets to the evening I'm so hungry! Thank you, hope you're doing okay x
DeleteI've heard that saying too, I guess it makes sense
ReplyDeleteI've always had trouble eating breakfast and rarely do so I think I would find it hard
Best of luck with it x
