day #5 : wrap up

Lunch:   tuna (140g in water); bean/lentil salad; grilled veg; coffee

Snack:   pickled onions

Dinner:   roast chicken; roast vegetables

Treat:    glass of red wine

The bean salad today was made with Lupin beans. The first time that I have tries them, as they caught my eye in the Portuguese aisle at the supermarket. You can eat these with the skin or without. I ate them with the skin. They came in a salty brine and so they needed a good soak before using. They would be better as a snack, as they are a bit hard for the salad, as well as being too salty.

I also had flatulence for the first time. I will be avoiding Lupin beans in future. Pity I had the other half to eat tomorrow. They went in the bin...

It's the mental part of the diet. I like bean salad, but not that. If I dread lunch it's always going to be a problem.

Same goes for the wine. It was delicious!
