Thank you for providing me with the context of your current situation. Based on
your goals, habits, and preferences, I will provide you with a personalized diet
plan, strategies to deal with your temptations, and insights into the nature of
your temptations.
Diet Plan: To help you lose 10kg over the next 2 months, we'll create a meal plan
that focuses on nutrient-dense, low-calorie, and delicious meals that are easy to
prepare. Here are some recipes to try:
Breakfast:
Greek Yogurt Parfait: Greek yogurt, mixed berries, chia seeds, and a drizzle of
honey
Protein-Packed Smoothie: Spinach, banana, almond milk, protein powder, and a
handful of almonds
Lunch:
Grilled Chicken Salad: Grilled chicken, mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber,
and a light vinaigrette
Quinoa and Veggie Bowl: Cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers,
and carrots), grilled tofu, and lemon-tahini dressing
Dinner:
Baked Salmon with Veggies: Baked salmon, steamed green beans, and roasted sweet
potatoes
Turkey Chili: Ground turkey, black beans, diced tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and
a blend of spices
Snacks:
Habit Stacking: From "Atomic Habits," habit stacking involves connecting a new
habit to an existing one. In this case, you can stack a healthy habit, like
drinking a glass of water, before indulging in junk food. This can help reduce your
cravings and create a mental connection between healthier choices and junk food.
Replace Junk Food with Healthier Options: Keep healthier alternatives nearby. For
example, if you crave ice cream, replace it with Greek yogurt mixed with fruit. For
fried chicken, consider baked or grilled chicken with a flavorful seasoning.
Set Clear Boundaries: Establish a "no junk food" zone at home or work. By creating
a designated area for healthier choices, you can avoid the temptation of junk food.
Cue-Routine-Reward Loop: In "The Power of Habit," Charles Duhigg explains the cue-
routine-reward loop. Identify the cue that triggers your junk food cravings (e.g.,
stress, boredom, or watching TV), and replace the routine (eating junk food) with a
healthier habit (eating a nutritious snack or engaging in a different activity).
Emotional Triggers: Understand the emotional states that drive you to crave junk
food (e.g., stress, sadness, or fatigue). Find healthier ways to cope with these
emotions, such as exercise, meditation, or journaling.
Environmental Cues: Be mindful of the situations and places that encourage your
junk food cravings. Modify your environment by removing tempting items from your
home and surrounding yourself with healthier alternatives.
Social Situations: If you find yourself indulging in junk food when you're with
certain people or at specific events, plan ahead by bringing your own healthy
snacks or discussing your goals with your friends and family.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until golden
brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

pepper flakes. Stir well and cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens
slightly.
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce.
Serve with steamed vegetables and brown rice or cauliflower rice. Garnish with
green onions.

Here are the estimated calorie breakdowns for the various dishes I provided above,
along with the reasoning for each calculation:
500g cooked chicken breast: 825 calories (165 calories per 100g)
1 cup orange marmalade: 800 calories (100 calories per 2 tbsp serving, 16 servings
in 1 cup)
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce: 40 calories (10 calories per tbsp) Total: 1665
calories (Approximately 416 calories per serving if divided into 4 servings)
Reasoning: The chicken breast is the primary source of protein and calories, while
the orange marmalade provides sweetness and calories from sugar. The soy sauce
contributes negligible calories.
200g whole wheat noodles or soba noodles: 700 calories (350 calories per 100g)
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce: 40 calories (10 calories per tbsp)
1 tablespoon sesame oil: 120 calories (120 calories per tbsp)
1 cup frozen stir-fry vegetables: 100 calories (25 calories per 1/4 cup serving)
Total: 960 calories (Approximately 320 calories per serving if divided into 3
servings)
Reasoning: The noodles are the primary source of calories in this dish, while the
soy sauce and sesame oil add flavor with minimal calories. The frozen stir-fry
vegetables contribute fiber and vitamins with low calories.
500g cooked chicken breast: 825 calories (165 calories per 100g)
1/2 cup bottled Kung Pao sauce: 200 calories (50 calories per 2 tbsp serving, 4
servings in 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts: 200 calories (800 calories per cup, 1/4 of
that amount) Total: 1225 calories (Approximately 306 calories per serving if
divided into 4 servings)
Reasoning: The chicken breast is the primary source of protein and calories in this
dish. The bottled Kung Pao sauce provides flavor and some calories, mainly from
sugar and some fat. The unsalted dry-roasted peanuts contribute healthy fats,
fiber, and additional calories.
Please note that these calorie estimates are based on the ingredients used and
standard nutritional information for each ingredient. Actual calorie counts may
vary depending on the specific products and brands used. Portion sizes also impact
the calorie count per serving. Adjust portion sizes according to your personal
calorie needs and goals.
Ingredients:
In a skillet over medium heat, combine orange juice, soy sauce, and honey. Cook
until the mixture starts to simmer.
Slowly add the cornstarch-water mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly until
the sauce thickens.
Add cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat with the sauce.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Serve with steamed vegetables and brown rice or cauliflower rice. Garnish with
green onions, if desired.
Estimated Calorie Breakdown:
500g cooked chicken breast: 825 calories (165 calories per 100g)
1/2 cup fresh orange juice: 56 calories (112 calories per cup)
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce: 40 calories (10 calories per tbsp)
1 tablespoon honey: 64 calories (64 calories per tbsp)
1 teaspoon cornstarch: 10 calories (30 calories per tbsp) Total: 995 calories
(Approximately 249 calories per serving if divided into 4 servings)
Reasoning: This healthier version of the orange chicken recipe uses fresh orange
juice and honey for sweetness instead of the high-sugar orange marmalade. The
cornstarch-water mixture helps thicken the sauce without adding many calories.
