After all the activity of yesterday, I fell into a little decline today and just faffed around my apartment. But I'm six days in and still sticking with the program. Lunch today was a luncheon-meat version of smoked beef and an anemic tomato on a long grain roll, accompanied by a very juicy orange, followed by baked beans on a piece of soy and linseed bread, with snacks of roasted chick peas and an apricot muesli bar.
I think one of the best things I'm getting from Lite'n'Easy is a better sense of portion control, and it's certainly made it easier to stop eating regardless of whether or not I feel full - if the food's gone, that's it!
I'm already getting a little tired of the dreary tomatoes and the scarcity of salad - the couple of rolls I've had so far would have been enlivened by a small portion of baby spinach, and I don't think cherry and/or truss tomatoes would make a big difference to their bottom line but would add a lot to meal enjoyment. I'm not unhappy about buying extras myself, but that would mean letting the provided food go to waste.
That said, the Thai chicken salad with crispy noodles I had on Friday (day 1) was really delicious and satisfying. There's another salad coming up next week that I have high hopes for, and when I decide to come off Lite'n'Easy I think my salads are going to be more interesting than they used to be. - Alex
