Diet- Day 1 lunch, dinner and snacking

For lunch I had some carbs. Cassava, sweet potato and plantain all boiled not fried. I topped it with stewed salt fish with lots of garlic, onions and tomatoes. It was delicious 

This was really satisfying and I did not need to snack. For dinner I did not eat much I had a bowl of steamed edamame. 

Lightly salted with seasalt and sprinkled with chili flakes. 

The snacks I had for today included half of a pink grapefruit 

And some homemade fruit and nuts mixture: sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, pecans, dried cranberries, dried apricots, dried figs, and dates. 

For me day 1 was rather successful. I had a warm cup of Chinese green tea before going to bed. Of course I had it without milk and sugar. Hubby had his with little milk and sugar. Today was encouraging.
