First Day on Diet Chef!

(Although the date of this post says Thursday 24th February it was for the 23rd, I just posted it after midnight.)


I took the plunge and ordered my first months worth of Diet Chef. It arrived today and I’m currently feeling excited but also very nervous and actually quite scared.  It could work, I could finally have found something that works for me and I could possibly finally be happy with my body.  But on the other hand - it might not work. It might just not work for me, or maybe i’ll be too weak and won’t stick to it. Maybe it’ll work for a month and then i’ll get complacent and the pounds will creep back on. 

Whatever happens I’m going to give it a go.

Three boxes arrived. One containing breakfast and snacks, one containing lunch and the other had my dinners in it. It also came with a little booklet which from what I can tell from briefly flicking through it is it seems to be the same information that you can download from the website. Helpful nonetheless.

Right, so after my first day on Diet Chef I have to admit that I have been hungry all day. Even after each meal I was full up but then became hungry very quickly.  I think my body just needs to get used to smaller portions and less snacks so i’m still feeling positive. 

The granola was nice but there’s so little of it, I don’t know how anyone could start their day on such a small amount of food!  About an hour after I ate this I had an apple.  I find I need a drink of cold water when i’m eating this cereal so that adds to my intake hopefully making me feel a little fuller.  Also I think I need that small dose of chocolate to keep me sane!

                                           Just to show the size of the packet of granola.

For lunch I had the bacon and bean soup which was lovely. It was also full of chunky vegetables aswell which was nice. After about an hour an a half I had the DC chocolate chip biscuits which were lovely, reminded me of hobnobs a bit since they’re oaty. I have to admit I waited as long as I could to eat them but I was quite hungry after only half an hour or so after eating the soup.  I forgot to take a picture of lunch and the snack, sorry!

Then for dinner I had the beef hotpot with some carrots, broccoli and cauliflower. This was very nice although the smell sort of reminded me of plane food which I can’t eat but it tasted great so that’s all that matters.

I haven't eaten anything else today but I have had a few cups of tea and one small cup of options hot chocolate (without milk). Looking forward to tomorrow.
