A Christmas Gallstone Diet



Merry Christmas!

So, Christmas 2012 has passed and I managed to survive without slipping from the diet and/or having an attack!  It was tough with all the chocolates, cheese, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes/parsnips, cream, cake etc around, but somehow I did it!



My menu was as follows: -

Christmas Day
Breakfast: One banana
Lunch: Turkey (white meat only), gammon, brussel sprouts and carrots; a portion of low fat Christmas pudding and low fat custard
Dinner: Gammon, turkey (white meat only), low fat tzatziki, cherry tomatoes and low fat houmous
Snacks: Olives, carrot sticks and marshmallows

Boxing Day
Breakfast: Scrambled egg (made with skimmed milk and egg only) and one slice of toast with no butter
Lunch: Turkey (white meat only), gammon, carrots, asparagus, green beans and cauliflower; a portion of low fat Christmas pudding and low fat custard
Dinner: Gammon sandwich with no butter and low fat mayonnaise
Snacks: Snack-a-jacks rice cakes

I can't admit to being completely virtuous though - I did manage a fair few glasses of wine over the two days (well, they don't have any fat so I figured it was allowed!)

If you are also watching your fat content at the moment, how did you cope over Christmas?
