Slow-carbing our way through the first week delivered amazing results for both of us: Mr Van lost 7cm of his waist and Mrs Van 6cm. This is fantastic news for us as we did not expect such performance given that we snacked on almonds and ate eggs and ham every day. We were not hungry or felt deprived and the only exercise done was a 30 min jog and 40 push ups for the entire week.
Sunday we spent binging on everything from ice cream (homemade by Mrs Van) to pizza (homemade by Mrs Van), cookies (homemade by Mrs Van), Pavlova (home made by Mrs Van) and olive bread (home made by Mrs Van) with butter (store bought). This cheat day not only made a Sunday cook out the Mrs, but also delivered high levels of enjoyment of our food. Chocolate tastes different if you only indulge in it once a week, not every day.
We started the week feeling slim, sugar high and a bit sick.
This is such a great and easy way of living and eating, we are now thinking of launching a blog dedicated to the receipts in both english and romanian and maybe soon in flemish of the food we eat during the week and also the crazy weekends.
