I am a snacky kind of person so to keep my food intake in check I prepare the whole day intake beforehand and work out carbs/calories. I put the whole lot on a tray and keep it in the fridge - it is quite satisfying to see all the food I can have for my only meal.
I have my meal at 4 pm but spread it out until 7 pm. Yesterday I had pork chop, Brussels sprouts, a big egg salad, some broccoli and Stilton soup, a Muller yoghurt, two Kallo rice crackers with creamed cheese and my daily 2 tabs of olive oil. This totalled 50 grms carbs and 1600 calories and I did an hour in the gym. I feel more in control that way and my weight is dropping off slowly but surely.

Carbquick is a baking mix for everyone counting carbs...It's made from wheat and has 90% less carbs than flour...I make waffles, pizza and biscuits with mine and there are lots of other recipes I haven't tried yet...I like the taste

I do eat a little a couple hours earlier, Ill have my protein coffee (105 calories) and a snack that's around 200-300 calories other wise id have a hard time making it to 1000 for dinner. Ive gotten so conditioned to have a healthy dinner from when I would eat 4-5 times a day, that I really enjoy eating that types of food, just now I can have a little mores 3 -

I feel like I'm eating a lot and those waffles are very filling so 1 is plenty and also some sausage bacon or ham to go with it would be better so at least I'm getting some protein0 -
This is what I'll be having all day I hope someone posts something better than this today!!!

Brenda: Are you doing a water only fast or just drinking water until your one meal of the day? Just curious.
Last night I made pizza using a recipe for cauliflower pizza crust. 2 cups mozzarella + 2 cups riced cauliflower (I used frozen) + 2 large eggs. Super simple, quick and oh my word...soooo yummy! I didn't expect it to be so good. I ate too fast and consumed 2/3 of the pizza (too much) but still only ate 1400 calories for the day which is good in my book and definitely couldn't have done that with 2/3 of a regular pizza! Here's a video to see how easy it is...especially skipping the grating by using frozen cauliflower rice.

And here's how my pizza looked. I finally remembered to take a pic.

Yes--it's alot of cheese for sure. I probably shouldn't have had it last night since I'm already stopped up with cheese from my LCHF trial. Blech. But it was soooooo good and I was craving pizza and considered ordering real pizza. It was definitely the lesser of two evils. I may try tweaking the recipe next time...maybe half the mozzarella. I'll let you know if it works out or not.0 -
@Mom2annie I'm doing a water fast only, I ate my last meal yesterday at 5 pm and won't eat another meal until tomorrow around noon...That pizza looks sooo yummy, I'm putting cauliflower on my grocery list

@Mom2annie yea I'm going to give it a try. I know when I crave pizza (which is a lot lol) i used to buy a ultra thin crust spinach and provolone pizza from walmart, I cant remember the brand, but it was only 720 calories for the whole pizza. I know that sounds a lot but it really not for pizza, I would cut it in half while frozen and only cook half to avoid the temptation and throw some precooked chicken breast and veggies on it to beef it up 1
