Thank you Malina,
Today I only drank herbal tea too, mostly goat's rue. Yesterday and today were not too bad: 82.0 kg in the morning. But I just ate two hamburgers with white buns, together with my younger daughter, and drank two Belgian size beer glasses (12 oz.) of blackcurrant smoothie she made.
The problem here are the carbs: like you, I should skip the white buns and the sugar in the smoothie, and keep only the protein, veggies, and a small amount of fruit. That should be good enough. Anyway, I'll have another dinner with the kids tomorrow, and the rest of the week, it will be back to an austere regimen: at least four half an hour walks a day, herbs and teas, eggs or ham or cheese, lettuce and tomatoes, and a hops porridge in the evening.
I'll be more critical of that porridge from now on: there's hops, flax, and oat flakes, but also milk, sweetened breakfast cereals, raisins, and honey, because the hops is just too bitter. Two days ago, I decreased honey from a tablespoon to a third of that, and tonight's will be without the breakfast cereals and the raisins. Come to think of it: I'll take an extra dose of fenugreek now, to get rid of the simple carbs faster.
