8 Week Challenge - Day 16
Today I had my second appointment with my dietitian. I was really looking forward to it because I wanted to ask what had caused my weight gain. According to the dietitian I had done well with my meal plan in week 1 (when I lost a kilo), but not so well in week 2. The difference was (according to him) the carbs that I was eating during dinner. The weird thing is that the meal plan I got in week one says to eat a serve of carbs during dinner, something I didn’t do in week 1. My banana cake binge last Thursday was of course a big no-no. It is frustrating though. I exercise so hard that I burn more calories than I consume and I still gain weight.
The dietitian has stripped me from all carbs for my afternoon snack and dinner. He also stripped me from my daily treats. Now all I can have is 3 little pieces of chocolate once per week. He recommended taking tablets to regulate my blood sugar so I won’t have any cravings at night time. Today I ate exactly according to my new meal plan and I ate a total of somewhere between the 800 and 900 calories. Pretty low if you ask me, especially considering the fact I burned 1200 calories with exercise this morning.
