Yesterday since I knew that I wouldn't be working out, I decided to keep my eating at a minimal, but of course not starving myself. My plan to eat a meal every 4-5 hours with carrots, broccoli and cucumbers in the between worked. Surprisingly, the snacks helped curb my hunger until my next meal. I've also noticed that I don't eat that much when I'm actually eating my meals. It helps me not chow down all of my food all at once. Planning your food everyday makes it easy to see what you intake and control your hunger.
Did you know that you're practically intaking zero calories when you eat carrots, broccoli, cucumbers and celery? Apparently, the digestion process of each of these foods burn more calories than the actually calories it has. Interesting fact. huh?

The weekend is almost here! five and half more hours to go! Temptation will arise... and hopefully I am prepared =S
