Gratuity: My kids bonding with each other
I've decided to add protein and routine to my diet in order to facilitate weight loss. Each and every day I plan to try to eat almost the same thing. Automatic pilot for me! I will miss cooking new dishes but I will not missing the overeating that often occurs when making and eating new dishes; especially when they turn out delicious. Automatic pilot will also mean less time thinking about food, which should lead to a reduction in the craving/binging process. My plan is to try to keep all dishes simple. Steamed, Sauteed or broiled vegetables. Fresh cooked eggs and shrimp. Once in a while I may make a homemade dish to eat over a few days. I still have some fine tuning to do but this is what I am contemplating. Notice I am also trying to eat around the same time of the day for each meal. I am not a creature of habit and complete habitual behavior is not something I strive for but sometimes it is sooo needed.

You will notice that I have omitted white and processed carbohydrates. There are various diets out there and I really do think that the best way to lose weight over a short period of time is to reduce these type of high glycemic carbohydrates.
Here is my average meal from Spark People. Calories are a bit lower than they should be but my guess is my portion size is a bitter larger than captured in Spark People so I think I am around target.
