M1: 1/4c oats, 1/4c blueberries, 3 EWs, 1 scoop PP, 1 Tblsp flaxseed

M2: 90g tuna lite, apple, 1 tsp PB

M3: 200g chicken, nashi pear, 1 tsp PB

M4: orange, 10 almonds

M5: 200g chicken, 2c veges, 1 Tblsp olive oil

Not that I'd presume to question your nutritionist, but... :grin:

That looks like very little complex carbs, and lots of fruit (and I've just recently learnt fructose is more likely to be stored as fat than other sugars). Yet it seems to be working for you. Do you know what the theory behind that is?

I believe its something to do with keeping liver glycogen topped up as well as supplying glucose to the brain while making muscles burn fat for energy. Well thats what I heard anyway :wink:

Thanks BG and Small

Yeah, its a diet I'm not used to.. having all this fruit yet losing weight! Goes against what I've been told in the past. But hey, its working so alls good :grin:

Energy was pretty low today, and hunger was extremely HIGH. Was famished throughout the whole day, but I think this is due to my uhh.. wimmenz troubles , so if I can focus through the next few days, I'll be OK.

Found training REALLY hard today.. just felt weak. But worked out with Small at her gym (I think we did a little more talking than training ) so that was fun :nod: She's pretty damn strong for her size! :clap:
