Anyway, here's my "oh Gawd, as is I can put in any effort, just eat what's in front of me" day:
Breakfast: three almond/coconut cookies, packed and eaten at work.
Lunch: Yeah, no.
Pre-dinner snack: two cookies and an experimental taste of the Atkins Vanilla Protein Shake crap that I bought back when I was merely low-carbing - yikes. It smells great though. But I won't be putting any in my mouth any time soon. Chucking it out seems wasteful - maybe I'll give it away...
Dinner: Roasted organic chicken, scrambled eggs, lettuce, capsicum and tomato.
Tasty, satisfying, and effortless!
Now - let's find me a good day spa!
I cut out grains, sugar and starches at the beginning of 2009. I have been keeping a journal as I have progressively shed my bulges and my processed foods. I am aiming to live a clean, primal lifestyle, and I wish to share my eating habits with those who wish to clean up their lifestyle and live happily and healthfully. As the cliche states - if I can do it, so can everybody else.

That's the worst part of revamping your diet. You have all this food on hand that you know is shit to eat, but still--there *are* starving children in Africa.
Well, if you can get it to a starving child in Africa, then more power to you. Otherwise, I suggest composting it. No composter? Bury it between a couple of plants. It'll rot there, and actually do some good. Especially if it's near the veggies and herbs.
Just a thought.
You know, re-reading that, it sounds a little snarky, and that's not at all what I meant. I know that there are hungry people here in this country and starving people in the rest of the world, and I know that food banks are really hurting. I just try to be sure that the food I give away is nutritionally beneficial.
I gave away all my other trashy high-carb foods back in February, to my work colleagues - everything immediately disappeared. How sad. I hung on to the Atkins shake since I didn't think anyone at work would benefit from it. But maybe I'll take it in on Monday and set it out anonymously. I don't worry about starving people in Africa, I worry about starving teachers in Australia. :)
I can't compost since I'm renting, but either way - looking at the ingredients list, I actually doubt it would ever rot... It barely dissolves in water as it is. Plus, it was expensive, so it might as well do some foolish Weight-Watcher some "good".
Thanks for the comments guys - personally, I already give generously to a couple of charities, but hopefully other readers might be inspired by these comments. I'm guessing smartbykrae gives to Oxfam? I just hope my money goes towards meat and veg rather than sickly grains that contribute to the growing obesity and malnutrition problems...
