I made chicken boullion from chicken breasts with all the fat removed this week (first timer!) and flavored it with some spices. I added celery, crumbled Melba Toast (Whole Grain), and cubed chicken breast - it was a very delicious soup! It was very filling too :) My next experiment for the soup is to substitute the celery with shredded spinach.
We have also been eating egg whites as our protein for some meals and that has been a nice change to increase variety in our food choices. I usually have a egg white omelette with spinach and a side of fruit.
Yesterday we did our shopping for B12 drops, an Espresso maker, a strainer (to remove chicken bits in the boullion), Neutrogena Oil Free Face Wash, Neutrogena Oil Free Moisturizer, Carmex (for my severely chapped lips), a spice rack, and our grocery list (more fruits, veggies and chicken). We also picked up filet mignon to have for dinner with asparagus. It was tasty! Today I am going to create beanless chili with lean ground turkey to stock up for the week and we'll cut up, weight the chicken and divide it up for the next week.
I had few cravings this week or hunger pains. My body is adjusting to the 500 VLCD a day. Of course, we are patiently waiting for phase 2 to come to and in the coming weeks and to transition to phase 3 so we can mix our veggies, add more fruit and vegetables, adding cheese, and eventually adding whole grains back.
