I had a big lunch of meat with a side of meat, so I think I'm going to go for a light dinner of a couple boiled eggs and tea. All this while living in a hotel.
I figured if I can do this away from home, doing this from home should be easier.
I can't even get a Chipotle Burrito bowl because I'm a fan of their salsa and Chipotle without salsa is just not right.
Meat and a side of meat - nice - I'm on a slightly simpler plan, which is pulling all starches and keeping my carb count for the day below 40 or 50 (great app for the iphone I've been using alled "carbscontrol" btw has lots of pre loaded menu items from chains etc). I'd read that people experience a "carb flu" the first few days, didn't think much of it and then experienced it!
