I'm on a diet who wants to join me?

[ufo_investigations]

I started this diet Friday 22/08/14

The focus of this diet is to replace bread with ryvita crackers and drinks with plain water + lemon. The main food is dry beans which are soaked for 8 hours then cooked for 30min sometimes up to 1hr depends on bean. Then coated with a touch of vinegar and lemon. Then eat.  I soak beans every night for the next day.

The diet goes like this:

Monday                 BREAKFAST: 2 ryvitas with spread cheese + coffee,  LUNCH: beans,   DINNER: beans with tuna or other fish.

Tuesday               BREAKFAST: 2 ryvitas with spread cheese + coffee,  LUNCH: beans,   DINNER: beans with tuna or other fish.

Wednesday          BREAKFAST: 2 ryvitas with spread cheese + coffee,  LUNCH: beans,   DINNER: beans with tuna or other fish.

Thursday              BREAKFAST: 2 ryvitas with spread cheese + coffee,  LUNCH: beans,   DINNER: beans with tuna or other fish.

Friday                    BREAKFAST: 2 ryvitas with spread cheese + coffee,  LUNCH: beans,   DINNER: beans with tuna or other fish.

At lunch I sometimes add grilled fish to break the boredom or tuna.

CHEAT DAYS:

Saturday               BREAKFAST eggs on toast with coffee,  LUNCH:  Eat anything,   DINNER: Eat anything except bread

Sunday                 Basically same as Saturday but a bit less norti.

All those beans!  Better stay up-wind of me then.  Point it elsewhere.    lol

Cooking hint:  cook beans without salt, they cook faster.   Add salt later

I don't put any salt.

I am on an exercise regime rather than a diet, hope it works well for you, I am not strong willed enough to give up yummy foods.

I'm doing hand weights at night too. I have a Z-bar which is pretty good for the arms and to raise the metabolic rate. I like yummy food too but I got to drop the weight.

There is a trick for the wind. Make sure you change the water when rinsing at least once during the 8hrs then cook the beans well otherwise fireworks will happen LOL 😉

What, no takers yet? I thought you were going to do the diet with me ?  

Beans are a superfood full of antioxidants, packed full of vitamins and minerals. You should think about it more you know! Come on? 😉

Beans, beans, the musical fruit
The more you eat, the more you toot
The more you toot, the better you feel
So we have beans at every meal!
