Now for my first PV day on the CRUISE diet. That is alternating PV and PP until the target weight is reached.

Weigh in first, there is another sign of weight loss, down another 0.5 kg. so that is 3 kg of the 10, or 30% of the way. From previous experience, on cruise, I can loose 1 kilo a week, so I will now move to weekly weighs. So probably another 2 months cruising to drop the weight (early June), then another 2 months to consolidate.

Measure out 1.25 litres of water to drink in the morning, and 1.25 l for the afternoon.
Take vitamin capsule.
Black coffee no sugar.

Week 1 - Day 3, PP day, ATTACK Diet

Now for the last of three ATTACK days.

Weigh in first, there is another sign of weight loss, down another 1.5 kg. so that is 2.5 kg gone, or 25% of the 10kgs I wanted to loose. I know that only some of this is fat, most is fluid and the changing over of my intestinal biotica, from that which supported the high fibre of the CSIRO wellness diet (which does not work for me) to the high protein of the ATTACK stage. Need to keep drinking water to help the transition.

Measure out 1.25 litres of water to drink in the morning, and 1.25 l for the afternoon.
Take vitamin capsule.
Black coffee no sugar.

Cooking for tomorrow
Need to make chicken noodle soup for the next few days.

Lasagne

Slendier Slim have released a lasagne version that I have been playing with. The product has some similarities to pasta, but is made of a vegetable called konjac and is okay to consume on PV and PP days.

The mince meat (lean beef or chicken/turkey) is seasoned (stock cube, chilli garlic etc) and cooked on a stove top until brown. Add a jar of low fat pasta sauce (Braille Arrbirrata) or a little water and 200g Philadelphia extra light cream cheese for a PP day. Set aside.

The cheese sauce is a 400 g packet of Philadelphia extra light (microwave 30 sec to be soft), mixed with about 200g plain no fat yogurt until smooth. Then stir in 2 egg whites). 

Start layering, meat, cheese, pasta, meat, cheese, pasta, meat, cheese, pasta, then cheese on top. Sprinkle with paprika. You can also sprinkle  a tiny bit of strong Parmesan cheese.

Bake 35-45 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.  

Pretty good. The PV day lasagne with chicken mince is pictured here.
