Day 6

It takes commitment to follow through a low-reward lifestyle on weekends, but then it's the same for any kind of diet, including low-carb and low-fat. I still have to cook special meals for my family. New recipes are on hold due to me not wanting to taste while cooking. Saturday is traditionally a day where a bit of of a feast occurs, with more elaborate dinners and often a bit of wine; I kept it that way but avoided it myself.

The scale showed another drop this morning. So far this has been rather easy.

The flavor of a boiled potato sprinkled with salt and vinegar now seems amazing. Does this mean I should change starches, before I create too strong a flavor-calorie association? Hmm. Unfortunately I must plow through 10 lbs of potatoes on my own before they go bad, thanks to my boyfriend's newly-found prediabetic state. 

I have switched from hard-boiled eggs to a small japanese-style rolled omelet (minus mirin and sugar, leaving the 1/2 tsp of soy sauce). Wondering if adding a bit of refinement to the egg preparation will mess up results. Simply couldn't stomach hard-boiled eggs for lunch a 6th consecutive day. Also fell upon a batch of omega-3 fortified eggs where the yolk tastes repulsively like fish. I love fish but not in eggs. The tamagoyaki hides this well.

Food:
lunch - 2-egg tamagoyaki, 200g boiled potatoes with salt/vinegar
dinner: - tuna, potatoes, carrots
