Tomorrow marks the start of my 3rd week in my yearly lent 'diet'. So called this as I take the Christian celebration of lent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lent) which lasts 40days, stretch it out a bit more and use it to help me eat healthier!
Each year I typically give up chocolate, crisps, biscuits etc. but this year I have taken it much further.
My list of banned foods are as follows;
- Any Chocolate
- Crisps
- Any Biscuits
- Any Dessert
- Pizza
- Chips
- Bread
- Fruit-Squash Drinks (Juices are allowed)
- Fizzy Drinks
- Sugary Cereals
I see this as the 'introductory' diet as it is similar to a detox diet. From Ash Wednesday (2 weeks ago) until Easter Sunday (nearly 5 weeks from now) I cannot eat any of these foods or anything that contains them. The reason I chose these foods in particular is because they are my most gorged on foods. After lent I will be on a more permanent diet which includes the above items but in smaller portions and less often. No more binge eating!
