My boyfriend and I went on food adventures during the last week of April which resulted in extra pounds. 😅 I always tell myself that cutting down some unwanted and unnecessary weight is easy once you've done it in the past. Proved that theory once again last week.
So last May 1, 2023, I decided to walk to our City's public market to buy fresh supplies for my entire week's worth of meals including healthy snacks. We recently moved to our new office on the 3rd floor so we got plenty of room for meal preparation and there's a new double-door refrigerator that's more than enough to accommodate our frozen storage needs.
Right there and then, I decided I'll eat salad for the entire week, no rice and my protein source is no other than baked chicken breast. The greatest thing about being creative in the kitchen is that experimenting never leaves you scared. I experimented with whatever was available in our house for the chicken marinade and I ended up with a savory chicken breast with a touch of sweetness from honey and a little kick of spice from the Indian chili powder I ordered from Lazada that I both added in the marinade.
The salad I made was very simple; all the ingredients I used could be easily bought at groceries or wet markets near you. I could only find iceberg lettuce in our public market; no other option for me, if you could find any greens of your choice, the better. I made sure there were cucumber, mango, tomatoes, white onion, carrots, and apples (for snacks). The dressing I made was a simple vinaigrette. I am planning of making other dressings in the next few days.
Caution: this diet is not for all. I knew some friends and even family members who couldn't live without rice. In my case, I've had an extreme diet in the past so this is nothing new to me. If you're wondering what was the effect on my weight, check out the table below. The weight loss could be attributed to my food restriction alone; there were minimal movements or exercises within the time covered below:

It seems that your diet is super effective for you. Hopefully, I can go strict diet so I can have this weight loss.
Hi @selflessgem, it's more than weight loss but that bliss of knowing you're feeding your body nothing but nutritious food. I think that's my main motivation for doing this. :)
Indeed, it's fulfilling knowing that our body is healthy.

Hi @palabras1, it's doable you just have to grab the ingredients whatever you want your in salad. :)
I will try, my friend.
Thanks for your excellent content.
Regards.
I had a weekend filled with lots of food. Today, I started an intensive intermittent fasting. I need to lose all the extra pounds I got. 🤦🏿♀️
Thank goodness you are here telling my it can be done through your experience. Now, I have faith , I'll lose this extra fat my friend made me take on in the last four days.
You did great with losing yours. All the best..
Hi @iskawrites, intermittent fasting works for me on weekends, I do it at least twice a month when I'm at home. But during weekdays when I'm at work, I kinda feel the need to eat 3 times a day. Work is demanding and without healthy food, I feel sluggish all day.
Don't mind the weight loss at first, focus on eating healthy and the numbers will follow later on. :)
