Weekends Suck for Weight Loss

Weekends are the worst time for weight loss. FACT!

On the weekend you lose your routine which is one of the key things for us when we are trying to lose weight.

For example this weekend started off in a bad way as my youngest daughter had he 3rd birthday party on friday evening.

Thats not the bad thing, the food on offer was. It was all nibbles and bit sized pieces of cake. The temptations put in fron of me were horrendous.

So used the Weight Loss Tool - DO I NEED TO EAT THIS? This tool saves me from 99% of the food intake I DONT NEED.

Every time you go to put something in your mouth ask yourself that question and you will be surprised at how many times, if you are honest with yourself, you realise you do not need to eat what is in your hand or what you are about to pick up. If you need to eat something or more importantly you feel the need to eat something to give your mouth something to do and to satisfy the craving monsters that lurk in your mind give them:

- chewing gum (sugar free)

- piece of fruit

- some vegetables

- cup of soup

The first three are instant fixes but the cup of soup takes a few minutes, if you make the craving monsters wait a few minutes, and you tell them to wait they will get bored and slowly meander off to another part of your mind to vegetate. In the first few times it will be slow but eventually your craving monsters will learn you are in charge of the eating process not them. This is an important step on the way to changing your lifestyle and your eating lifestyle. YOU ARE IN CHARGE and once your craving monsters understand this they will realise they have less and less influence on you and they will be killed off.

So back to the weekend.

My weekends seem to have little or no structure. This is the first step to the slippery slope of eating food you don't need to eat. So now I realise more and more I need to create a structure to the weekend. So first things first, get up at a reasonable hour and eat a sensible breakfast, eggs and bacon, or and omellette or something of that ilk. Remember NO BREAD NO SUGAR, so you can have some cereal with fruit. 
The next step is the most important. GO OUT!!! Thats right get out of the house the apartment whatever, just go for a walk, visit the shops, whatever you want but GET OUT of the house and do something. Two things are being stopped by this effort, one: you are away from the food you have in your house and two: exercise whatever it is burns calories. 

Now lets look at food.
I follow the FEDUPBEINGFAT menus, no sugar no bread so my diet is almost carb free. What does this mean to me? Well I don't count calories so one of my favourite dishes to eat is Quiche.
Quiche is not for real men only it is for everyone. Especially when you are on a diet.
Here is my recipe:

Quiche Recipe
1 Mixing Bowl
4 eggs
200 grams fo grated cheese
200 grams of chopped salami
2 medium onions
200 ml of milk (any kind)
1 non stick baking dish 9 inches

Simply mix all the ingredients into the mixing bowl until you have a sloppy mixture cosnsistency then pour into the baking dish and put into a preheated oven at 300 degrees. Let it cook for about 20 minutes until the top of the quiche is browning. You are not an idiot so you can tell when it looks ready. To test stick a knife in and remove, if its clear you know its cooked. Take it out of the oven and let it cool.


Thats your NO CARB Quiche. NO pastry involved in the making of this quiche. All the ingrdients are proteing rich and almost carb free. So cut the quiche into squares and store in the fridge and when you need something to eat you can hit the craving mosnters with something savoury and low in carbs.


When you are sitting there over the weekend make sure you have nibbles like quiche, some peanuts or similar plus cheese slices and meat slices to eat. We need to make our weekends structured with meal times similar to what we follow Monday to Friday. I know late nights on the weekends are fun and watching tha movie till 1am is part of the weekend but remember you don't need to eat to enjoy a movie and if you need something follow the tools that will help you, DO I NEED TO EAT THIS?


Today is going ok for me and I know I will get through today with out eating any bread or sugar.
