Sunday evening
Not a great food day on Sunday. After the Vietnamese noodles, I had a few beers in the pub, finished off by a slap-up Chinese restaurant feast. Too much beer. Too much greasy food.
Monday
7am Porridge & coffee.
10am Skinny Latte.
1pm Tuna sandwiches (burgen bread) and bean/tuna/kiwi fruit salad.
Breakfast
I started the day with the usual porridge and coffee.
Lunch
I had a packed lunch today, 4 slices of burgen bread with margarine, ham and tomato. I toasted them at 1030am and 1230pm, and also had a couple of skinny cafe lattes.
When I got home I had a small bowl of muesli with milk.
Dinner
For tea, I had Broken Rice with Grilled BBQ pork ribs, egg, shredded pork skin, steamed egg cake served with sweet fish sauce.
After Dinner
I drank maybe a bottle of wine, or more, and some beers - out at a friend's place till the small hours.
Didn't do any exercise today.
Beans, beans are good for your heart, the more you eat, the more you fart.
When I was very young, that was a little rhyme we used to say over and over again. Beans are a great source of fibre, and as such they really will help you pass wind. Help you even if you don't really want to be helped.
A recent article on Ananova claims a man lost 6 stone by eating beans. It's one of those things - if you eat just one type of anything, you're likely to lose weight. Its very hard to gorge yourself on just one food type.
Now I just wonder how much weight he would have lost if he had his baked beans with good old Burgen bread?
I've been eating Burgen bread for the past few years, but only recently with my health kick and weight loss plan have I moved to eating Burgen as my *only* source of bread (except for some occasional lunches out, you'll notice).
I've found this page, which describes the health benefits of Burgen.
Burgen does well as it is a "low GI" food, and as such it is a fantastic food for weight loss.

There was half an avocado left in the fridge, so I spread it onto 2 slices of Burgen Bread.
Burgen bread - my magical weight loss secret ;-)
4 slices burgen bread, with jarlsberg and turkey. No butter, Marg or dressings.
If I have to eat bread, I'll make it Burgen, the weight loss bread.
Before I get too hungry, I get half of my packed lunch out of the fridge.
A sandwich (2 slices burgen bread - the weight loss bread), with turkey and jarlsberg cheese.
With some nuts and raisins on the side.
A pre-gym snack - 2 slices of Burgen Mixed Grain (the weight loss bread), 2 slices Turkey, and a slice of Jarlsberg cheese before the gym.
