Day 1 Meals

LUNCH:
So starting on this diet, I felt like a salad for lunch. A few weeks ago I bought this salad mix from Costco that was called Chinese Chicken Salad. It came with 2 sets of salad mixes that can feed a few people each time it is made. All you have to do is add the lettuce.

This is what it looks like all mixed together. I love this salad!

To wash this salad down, I drank my favorite Arizona Diet Green tea. When I make it, I use 2 packets and mix it in my 32 oz cup of water.

And also before I started to eat this delicious salad, I made sure to take an Alli! 

DINNER:

For dinner tonight, I wasn't really in the mood to make a whole meal and my son wanted pancakes, so I looked in on of the Taste of Home books and found recipe called Applesauce Oatmeal Pancakes. This was in the 2nd Taste of Home Comfort Food Diet cookbook. 

These pancakes came out pretty good. I also used Light pancake syrup that contained no fat which was perfect to take with an Alli pill. Below is the recipe for them.

Applesauce Oatmeal Pancakes

1 Cup of Quick-cooking Oats

1/4 Cup of Wheat Flour

1/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour

1 TBS of Baking Powder

2 TBS of unsweetened Applasauce

4 Egg Whites

Mix all the dry ingredients together and in a separate bowl mix the wet ingredients. Then mix them all together. 

I noticed that the mix was a little dense, so I added more applesauce and added some water. And I also added some cinnamon because they needed a little extra flavor. I didn't make it as runny as normal pancake mix usually is. They came out a little fluffy and thick, but they were pretty good. Try it out! Let me know if you like it!!
