goldendesign Posted July 7, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 7, 2014 So I start week two of the new lifestyle of eating. Last week went well. I ate a lot of legumes and veggies. I did have my one serving of meat on Friday in the form of a bacon cheeseburger, Though it tasted delicious it made my stomach mad at me until mid morning on Saturday. I bought some veggie "meat" and some tofu "sausages" yesterday. I then made a meatless, no cheese italian sausage sub. Using tomato paste, onions, jalopenos, hungarian peppers, garlic, olive oil, and the tofu "italian sausage" links. Had a 5 grain baguette bread toaste with just mustard. It was actually very good. I can eat quite a bit of fish as well but don't usually like fish unless it is battered, deep fried, and served with tarter sauce. For dinner on Sunday I ate salmon filet that was prepared in a Turkish style. My wife asked her mother for a recipe that would be natural and limit the fishy taste in salmon. I was dubious, I actually detest salmon. Recipe was as follows: Olive oil, crushed garlic, dill, black pepper, chopped parsley, salmon. Let marinate for half hour then salt and oregano. Cook for 20 @ 400. Had broccoli with it. Was VERY good. didn't even have a fishy flavor. Fish was still firm but flaked out nicely in mouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted July 7, 2014 Share #3 Posted July 7, 2014 Congrats! I can't eat fish, allergic to seafood, plus it smells like crap to me. How do you feel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingtermite Posted July 7, 2014 Share #4 Posted July 7, 2014 I could do the meatless part of it without too much trouble I think. I'm not a crazy meat eater to begin with. I don't do much seafood though....I wish I liked it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted July 7, 2014 Share #5 Posted July 7, 2014 I suppose one week in the bag is better than two weeks 'half in the bag'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldendesign Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share #6 Posted July 7, 2014 So far I feel fine. Being a meat eater is a large part of my prior diet. Now without such I am usually hungry. Like a low burn rather a full fledged hunger pain. I snack with walnuts and veggies as my main dishes but sometimes it just doesn't wanna bite. While weight loss was secondary and a more regulated autoimmune was the primary, I am happy to report 1.5lbs lost since doctor weigh in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
