The fundamental issue here is how you want to look once you are single again. For me, I need to look good, age does not help a lot anymore, so the rest needs to make up for that.
I am easy on eating if I have a good purpose. Always eat a banana for breakfast during the week... because I am lazy to cook anything at that time. Have saltine crackers to snack on to get the metabolism and sugar levels going.
For lunch, always a salad with some ham or chicken as a touch of protein. Then some more crackers or a peace of chocolate to tell the stomach it is not so empty. For dinner, I eat small portion so it can digest well. Big portion will sit there and will spread the fat.
I like everything that is easy. Everyone loves the food I cook but I hate wasting time on the kitchen. So, I always eat what is not too much work to make. Tomatoes, avocado, bananas, sardines, salad, green or black olives, cold cuts, etc.
Not too much thinking or working. that's my rule. And, I do not eat much bread, chocolate, ice cream. I do not have that kind of crave.
Now, always need to be careful with cheese, love the mozzarella ones, melted brie. I can probably eat cheese all day long. Love milk cream, sour cream.
For the hot stuff...sometimes I cook a big pan of black beans, or lentils, or vegetable soup. It's easy to make and last a long time.
And the calories probably from wine and beer. I am not an alcoholic, but love to drink once in awhile.
Well, if you enjoyed my menu, don't hesitate to use it. It's simple and easy...kkkk, and keeps those pounds away so I can dance on my high heels too. And note... I dance samba!
