Low-carb diet - Miss de Souza's version - Introduction

I haven't been cooking much in the last half a year or so. It's hard when I'm working and there's food options near my office, and I come home in time for a home-cooked lunch.

But I've started picking up cooking again in a bid to shed off the pounds, because the food around my office is not very healthy. So I started a low-carb diet.

My rule:

1. No rice, pasta, bread, biscuits, cookies, noodles, sugary drinks, desserts, potatoes etc.
2. One piece of bread only for breakfast or equivalent, preferably on alternate days.
3. Only two pieces of fruit for dinner (my favourites are apples and oranges)
4. 1 cheat day a week (I chose one of the weekends, depending on when I go out)
5. Butter is totally okay if you want to feel satisfied. Limited to 1 tbsp a day.
6. If you are hungry before you go to bed, take an oatmeal cookie or equivalent, as long as it has fiber.

Tips:

1. Eggs for breakfast is awesome!
2. Try to incorporate foods you LOVE. It doesn't work when you're stuck eating foods you're forcing yourself to eat, especially for dinner. Make a list of foods you don't mind eating a few times a week and incorporate that into your routine.

So far, I've lost almost 3 kilos in a span of 2 weeks. Hooray! I'll update soon when I have a good spread of dishes under my belt.

As a teaser, my lunch today is 5 IKEA meatballs, a slice of cheese, a few spoonfuls of marinara sauce (homemade) and about a cup of boiled vegetables (carrots, peas and corn).
