The use of fats in good food is essential, but with CICO I find that I am being a lot more particular with my choices. If I want to use butter, I have to ask myself, what is going to give throughout the day to accommodate it? It is delicious and the magic that happens with caramelized milk solids is amazing...
But lately I’ve found things are getting way easier. I generally use vegetable oils more, due to their versatility and relatively low calories.
Soups are amazing ways to get a lot of flavor and fill up your shrunken stomach quickly. Mung bean vermicelli are a nice pasta to use if you’re doing any SE Asian inspired dishes. Tonight I made a tilapia green coconut curry soup. Low cost, and delicious. Also clears out the sinuses.
I’ve been logging religiously, and since getting a vitamix I find that eating food becomes scientific which is also fun. You have to measure things out otherwise you can’t log it properly.
But my stomach has certainly shrunk. I cannot eat nearly as much as I used to even if I tried...I just get full so easy now. I’ve been operating on a pretty aggressive deficit also, but it hasn’t been unmanageable because my job is sedentary.
Happy to share meal ideas with anyone who is new to CICO.
