Yes, I called you FAT.

I can honestly say that day one wasn't as tough as I thought it would be, surprisingly I wasn't hungry most the day as I was afraid I would be, and in fact I didn't go over my points even with pork sausage on my list.

The one hurdle I am gonna have to be aware of is to remember to mix it up, if I don't make sure to vary the foods I eat I'll get bored quick. that being said breakfast is an exception to this rule, I ran out of oatmeal and I need to get more.

Ok so here is the breakdown.

Blood sugar - 146
Weight - 274 lbs.

7:45 am. Glipizide

8:30 am - Breakfast.

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal and Coffee

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
1½ cup oatmeal (this is about 3/4 cup of quaker quick oats and 1 1/2 cups of water)
1 sliced apple
4 splenda packets
4 tsp cinnamon powder
2 tsp salt

As far as coffee goes, I'm drinking it black with splenda. (0 points) Being that the point value is so low I'm gonna be drinking a lot of coffee.

11:00 am - Midday Snack

5 oz. can low sodium V8
2 Slices Wheat toast with Marmite* & ground black pepper

*Marmite: Marmite is a distinctive tasting, 100% vegetarian, savory spread made from concentrated yeast extract. Marmite is most frequently used spread on toast or bread, but it also adds something different to sandwiches, and is enjoyed as a flavoring in soups, stews and casseroles. If you are familiar with Marmite, then, enough said. If you are new to it, then one word of caution – spread thinly! Marmite is concentrated and you don’t need much.

Marmite is a low calorie food that contains no fat, sugar or saturated fats. This product is suitable for both vegetarian and vegan diets. It is a very good source of the B vitamins and an excellentource of vitamin B12 in particular (60% RDA from a single 4g serving).
