Today I am doing a juice fast, which includes chicken broth too.
Usually I limit my calories to 1300 per day. Today it looks like I will actually go over this, even though I am only consuming liquids. I have worked at getting 100% juices, like fresh apple cider, pineapple juice, etc. I'm doing this to clean out my system and I do this about once a year.
On my days now, I usually count calories, keep them in a little book that I have on my kitchen table. I like eggs, cheese, soy milk, yogurt drinks or buttermilk. I don't eat meat unless I am out at a restaurant. Then I choose chicken. This is a once a week occasion. Oh, and I eat at our church's fellowship meal once a week too. They doo sometimes serve meat, which I will eat, but just as often they serve beans, rice and greens with cornbread. Oh, and there is often peach cobbler, which is about the only dessert I will eat. I usually don't have dessert, because it will shoot me up above my 1300 calories for the day and I don't want to do that! Peach cobbler is a weakness that I have, however. Oh, and one time they served a blueberry cobbler, that was nice too.
I have lost weight from 187 to165 pounds and will continue until I get to my proper BMI. I will probably go down farther than that too, depending upon how I feel.
