I had mentioned in a previous post the dramatic change that has been going on in my life style and food habits lately, and vowed to fix it.
Much easier said than done!
I stuck to the grilled, low calorie, no junk food policy for not more than one week; then back came the donuts, oreos, and burgers. However, the real shock came when I went on a jog with my fiancé to find that I wasn’t able to keep pace for more than half an hour.
The “few extra kilos” or the “nice new curves” were turning into a serious weight problem that I didn’t want as a part of my life.
Then came the Veggie era.
My friend/ colleague, Noor, and I decided to stop all sorts of meat and chicken and try the vegetarian life style. After starting to read the book “Skinny Bitch”, Noor was even more encouraged to cut meats out of her diet. I did it basically for losing weight, so I also cut all forms of starches, sugars, and fats from my diet.
The Veggie thing has been going on for about 2 weeks now, and I feel great! Not only did I lose about 4 kg, I feel lighter, cleaner, and much more natural than before. First of all, Noor and I thought that the Vegetarian life style would go on for not more than a week; but now we are going into our third week, and the end doesn’t seem near at all!
The menu we are following is quite simple, and still tasty. We are allowed to eat salads, fruits, lentils, rice, grilled fish, sushi, and all types of legumes. Luckily the Mediterranean Diet is full of nutritious and light veggie food that is delicious as well.
