Daily Diet Meals April 19 -21

My plan is to post what I have been eating since I started my weight loss attempt. I will post these in 3 day blocks.

The picture is what have been using as my snack items. I use these as appetite inhibiters. I go through 3 to 4 pounds of carrots a week, 3 or 4 sliced apples (I slice them and add a few drops of lemon juice to keep them from turning brown) if the apples are sliced you can eat a wedge or 2 and not the whole apple. A jar of gherkins, a jar of baby dill pickles and the sugar snap peas make up my steady rotation of snackers. They all have a crunch, and are either sweet or salty and low in calories. If I need something with carbs, it will be oatmeal or bran muffins. For liquids, I drink quite a bit of water. If I am thirsty I try not to drink anything with calories. My whole goal is to stop eating what I call accidental calories. This is not to become overzealous about eating. It is about being conscious about your eating habits.

My major vice would probably be my morning coffee. It is stronger than most people like it. I use a French press, to make 2 cups, I use 6 heaping tablespoons of coffee. I drink my coffee black with 2 sugar.

My weight at this point was 265 pounds on my home scale.
