Diet Doom

So, after careful consideration of our recent weight gain, both Bruna and I have decided to diet. We are using this diet we got from her sister, which was apparently made by a nutritionist.

Not trying to do anything too drastic, my goal is to lose 4-6 kilos, making me a little lighter than my normal weight. German food is REALLY good but also kind of unhealthy and fatty since its mostly bread, meat, and chocolate.

So the whole point of the diet is that you eat small portions but you eat every 3 hours.

Yesterday I ate:

Breakfast: cornflakes and milk

Lunch: two spoons of mashed potato, 2 peices of sliced turkey breast

Snack: 2 small apples

Dinner: 2 peices of toast with two slices of turkey

oh and a cup of a coffee (think that might be breaking the diet but it was also very necessary).

I was HUNGRY. seriously. I eat ALOT normally, especially since i've been in germany (too many good options for sweets). Both Bruna and I were starving.

Today I ate:

Breakfast: Cornflakes with milk. Plain yogurt (apparently this is very very gross--so sour, so i cheated and put a bit of jam in it too)

Lunch: Turky breast on toast sandwhich

Snack: 2 spoons mashed potatos, 1 1/2 cups of apple juice, wierd healthy crackers with tiny bit of cheese

Dinner: Chicken leg, salad (no dressing of course, just some vinagrette)

Snack: one nectarine, some carrots


Don't worry guys--I'm not going into dieting too hard--it's only a 15 day diet. And I'm going to break it a lot tommorrow anyway when I go to oktoberfest--since I'm going to drink a lot of beer (not exactly diet food eh) and have one big meal of german food, just because.

Nor am I positive we will be able to last the full 15 days. I can't even imagine how hard it is to a smoking or other types of drug addictions---since all I can think about is cheesburgers and chocolate cake :)
