For those of you just starting...remember this...In May, I was you, looking at the big losers on here and thinking "oh my gosh, how sweet would it be to be 60lbs lighter". Its totally Do-able, just stick with it.NanaDB - My daily menu...it was different this week to break the plateau, but I'm gonna go back to the way I was before to see if it was just a plateau or if I need to change it for good...never know, right?
Before Plateau I was eating
Breakfast - HNS + either 2 m. eggs (2 white, 1 yolk) or 3oz cheese and toast (with a shake thrown in once or twice a weeks).
Lunch - HNS, 6oz of cottage cheese (1oz mixed in a dip), 8oz of fresh veggie (usually cucumber or green pepper) and fruit (6oz strawberries or a peach)
Snack - HNS + 1oz cheese
Dinner - HNS, 6oz of lean meat (chicken, turkey or buffalo), 4oz cooked veggie (spinach, okra or squash) and toast
This past week to break the plateau, I added in fish at least 3 times at dinner and ate chicken or buffalo at lunch. Cottage cheese is one of the higher carb foods that we're still allowed to eat. I also cut out tomato this week...another higher carb food. I tend to eat the same things alot and I haven't yet gotten burned out on anything, so I feel fortunate in that respect.
I always make the cheesecake without the crust...not so I can eat it at lunch, but because I don't like the crust. I just have toast with it instead. Works out pretty good for me. I made the original recipe cheesecake this week without the nutmeg and lemon juice and with a ton more cinnamon and a little more sweetener. I liked it much better. I'd like to try it with just the vanilla HNS and not the lemon...I think the lemon was overpowering.
I'll go ahead and start the next thread and get a link posted in here in advance.
