Day Fourth´s Lunch : Fresh Champignon & Porcini Mushroom Soup with Truffle Oil

Photobucket


Moving to day fourth which happen to fall on a weekend was easier than expected. It did help a lot that hubby was away at work today, which meant that I have the free hand to prepare whatever I want to eat. I find that this holds true to a lot ladies I came across. While we can get by something light and soupy with lots of vegetables, my other half unfortunately needs his daily carbo to get by. I do most of the cooking, and though at times I would go all the way out to cook something that I fancy (but not so much my hubby´s fav, he´s not a fish or seafood fan), I´d usually strike a balance in between with meat, noodles and vegetables. It takes a toll on my body after a while hence ... this exercise. Today, I woke up to 0.5kg lighter. It was drastic drop I know, but strangely I felt energized and full the whole of yesterday. I am a bit concern over the amount of nutrients thought but the content from the replacement drink I am taking seems to have enough of it. So far, there isn´t much side effect except that I was thirsty last night, resulting me in gulping down LOTS of water. Other than that, taking lots of veg, fruits and fish. Moving on, here´s for today :

  • Protein Shake (200 calories, and not 100 calories which earlier read!)
  • Champignon & Porcini Soup (120 calories)
  • 3 Hardboiled Eggs (I loveeee hardboiled eggs!) (300 calories)
  • Protein Shake (200 calories), 1 Apple (80 calories), 1 Kiwi (40 calories), 150 grams Raw Almond (300 calories)
  • Exercise - I took it easy today. Made the bed, cleaned the kitchen, upload the dishwasher and walked to the shop (about 1km to/fro)
  • Total lost till date : 1.2kg

Its my fourth day but I´m loosing 1.3kg already.
