Food: 7-Day Salad Diet

I started my Salad Diet challenge last May 12. I’m so happy to tell you that I survived! It’s actually harder than I thought. It’s hard to resist food temptations but I challenged myself so I have to comply. But one thing I love the most about this challenge is that I had a chance to bring out the chef in me. I had a cooking class when I was in first year college since my course is connected with it. Everyday was so exciting. It’s fun to invade the refrigerator & experiment with food. Anyway, Before I started the diet, I weighed (I have to emphasize the ED, haha) 110.23 lbs, btw. Keep on reading to see how this diet challenge turned out!!!

Day 1

Breakfast: Strawberries mixed with lettuce and plain cornflakes; banana yogurt as its alternative dressing

Lunch: Deep fried potato wedges in olive oil drizzled with pickles and garlic powder

Dinner: I wasn’t able to take a photo of my dinner. But I ended up with a soup meal. My mom cooked Lomi, a Filipino-Chinese dish made of a very thick fresh egg noodles. I literally just sip one-quarter cup of soup.

Day 2

I did my diet the wrong way again during the 1st day. I was using MyFitnessPal app eversince. I only consumed 473 calories out of 1200 (goal). It’s really few. My bad. I always have this bad diet habit when I really want to lose weight but it’s really wrong. So I tried to increase my calorie consumption to atleast 1000 & I failed again. I only consumed 747 calories.

Breakfast: Orange and apple with balsamic vinegar dressing topped with parsley

Lunch: Since I’m trying to reach the minimum calories allowed per day, I ate 1/4 cup of Pasta al Pomodoro

Dinner: A small bowl of lettuce & ten pieces cherry tomatoes topped with a few lengua bits drizzled with pepper and garlic powder in Italian salad dressing
