Flat Belly Diet - Day 1

Ok folks.  It's the end of Flat Belly Diet Day 1.  Here's the rundown.

The first four days are "Anti-Bloat Jumpstart" days.  1200 calories broken down into four 300 calorie meals - breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner.  The book claims that you won't be hungry and I haven't been hungry.  I guess that's due to the "eat every four hours" rule.  By the time I got an inkling of hunger it was time to eat again.  Also, the "Sassy Water" is pretty decent.  It tastes like weak lemonade with a hint of cucumber.  It's kind of like what you get when you go to a spa.  I am finishing my last glass of the day as I type.  Here's the blow by blow for each meal:

Breakfast

Breakfast was pretty decent but it is hard for me to eat that much first thing in the morning.  I usually skip breakfast or eat something pretty small so eating cereal, applesauce, and sunflower seeds was a lot.

Lunch

This was difficult.  I was supposed to eat 4 oz. of deli meat type turkey.  I can't stand deli meat turkey unless it's on a sandwich so it was hard to eat all of that.  Actually, I didn't finish it.  I only ate 3 oz of it.  That was all I could take.  I also got to have string cheese and a pint of grape tomatoes.  That part was good.

Snack

Blueberry smoothie.  Tasty.  Would have been better with sugar but still tasty.

Dinner

I was dreading dinner.  Talapia, green beans, and red potatoes.  I thought this would be very bland and boring.  Thankfully, with some dill, pepper, and paprika it actually ended up being pretty good.  Better than lunch for sure.

Also, I rode my exercise bike for thirty minutes.  So, overall, a successful day one of the diet.  Think nice thoughts for me tomorrow.  A large part of my dinner is based on mushrooms and brown rice which I typically do not enjoy.
