Day 14: The Scale Showed a “Setback,” But I Know Why! ⚖️🥐🍷
This morning, I stepped on the scale and saw a small setback. But I know exactly why – last night’s puff pastries and alcohol took their toll. 🤷♂️
Puff pastry is high in fat, and alcohol causes water retention, which explains the number on the scale. But this is temporary! No need to panic—just get back on track. By drinking more water and sticking to my plan, I’ll be back on course by tomorrow.
💡 Lesson learned: One “off” day doesn’t define progress! I’m still moving forward. 🚀
📌 How to reduce water retention?
✔️ Drink more water
✔️ Reduce salt intake
✔️ Eat more vegetables
✔️ Stay active
Have you ever noticed your weight fluctuates after salty food or alcohol?

A Light and Healthy Breakfast for a Great Start! 🍓🥣
This morning, I had 200g of fat-free cottage cheese and 450g of fat-free raspberry yogurt. A perfect balance of protein and light carbs to kick off the day! 💪
✅ Why is this a good choice?
🔹 Cottage cheese – a great source of slow-digesting protein (casein) to keep you full longer.
🔹 Yogurt – packed with probiotics for gut health + a delicious raspberry flavor.
This kind of breakfast keeps you energized and feeling light! Just make sure the yogurt isn’t loaded with sugar, but if it’s fat-free, you’re good to go.

A Hearty Lunch – Fried Eggs and Ciabatta! 🍳🥖
For lunch today, I had 5 fried eggs cooked in oil and ciabatta. A filling and delicious choice when you need energy!
✅ Why is this a good meal?
🔹 Eggs – a great source of protein and healthy fats.
🔹 Ciabatta – carbs for energy, especially on an active day.
🔹 Cooking in oil – adds extra calories, but it’s fine in moderation.
Five eggs might seem like a lot, but as long as you balance your daily intake, it’s totally fine. Just don’t forget to add some veggies for fiber and a more balanced diet.

A Light Dessert – Banana and Coca-Cola Zero! 🍌🥤
After a hearty lunch, I wanted something sweet, so I had a banana and a sugar-free Coca-Cola. A great combo when you crave sweetness without extra calories!
✅ Why is this a good choice?
🔹 Banana – a natural source of quick carbs, vitamins, and potassium. Great for an energy boost.
🔹 Coca-Cola Zero – sugar-free but still has the same taste, a better alternative when craving soda.
Fruits are always a great dessert option, but if you want soda, the sugar-free version is a smarter choice. The key is moderation!

Dinner – Hearty Beef Aspic! 🍖🥣
I ended my day with beef aspic, a traditional dish packed with protein and collagen. A great choice, especially during colder seasons!
✅ Why is beef aspic good for you?
🔹 Collagen – supports joint health and improves skin elasticity.
🔹 Protein – essential for muscle recovery, especially for active lifestyles.
🔹 Low in carbs – a good option for those watching their weight.
Just don’t overdo it with salt and additives. If it’s homemade, even better!

The Grand Finale – A Bottle of Alcohol and Ham! 🥩🍷
Well, today was productive, but I decided to end it with a fine selection of alcohol and pork ham. You know that moment when your body whispers, “Maybe we shouldn’t?” and your brain yells, “Too late, buddy!” 😆
✅ What awaits me tomorrow?
🔹 Alcohol – water retention, a puffy face, and a dramatic moment in front of the scale: “What the hell happened?!” 🤨
🔹 Ham – delicious, salty goodness that guarantees waking up thirstier than if I had hiked Everest overnight. 🏔️
🔹 Weight fluctuations – don’t panic! It’s just water retention, not instant fat gain. No need to sign up for an emergency morning marathon (unless you’re into that).
💡 How to survive the morning after?
✔️ Drink plenty of water – but not in the shower, actually drink it! 💦
✔️ Cucumber and greens – trick your body into thinking you’re healthy again. 🥒
✔️ Go for a light walk – wake up your brain (if it still exists). 🚶♂️
Sometimes, you just gotta enjoy life! Who else “closes” their day like this, or am I the only strategic genius here? 😆
