Glad you're doing well on maintenance! My mom used to give us stew for breakfast sometimes - it was good and filling and, of course, I didn't realize at the time that we were probably out of cereal and waiting for the next payday!

My understanding is it doesn't really matter when you have your restricted unless eating it late causes you problems at night sleeping (some people don't sleep well on a full stomach). It's really what works for you.

Only on day 4, so figuring out my likes/dislikes.
P1
Breakfast:Raspberry bar
~ tried crispy cereal- couldn't do it! On to option 2 tried vanilla pudding as a shake- couldn't. Stopped by my clinic and bought more choc drink.

Lunch: IP choc drink and salad with good seasons dressing.
Salad:1 cup spring mix, 1 cup combo of onion, celery and kale. 1 1/2 tbs good seasons dressing (made with white vinegar, low sodium soy sauce and grape seed oil) <- hoping the good seasons is IP friendly, read that it was.

Dinner plan: gonna try cauliflower rice in my blendtec with 8 oz chicken and some green onions and soy sauce.

Snack plan: IP choc drink

Love reading what everyone is having, great ideas!

Ya, it was a little crazy. Didn't effect my ketosis though so I did it again this morning. Checked the carbs on my food today, and most are the higher choices. I guess I'll have to go back to the shakes for breakfast, just worries me too much that all my choices are so high.

IP P1
B: BBQ crisps
L: chicken flavoured patties + sautéed mushrooms + salad
S: lemon wafers
D: leftover extra lean ground beef and chicken with broccoli and mushrooms + salad

Jillybee- try adding really ice cold water to the cereal, it helps some. But even better is to turn it into a pancake! Look in the recipe threads and you'll find it - absolutely yummy and unrestricted. You'll figure out what you like and don't like and after awhile some of the things you didn't like you will find you like - funny how our taste buds change. I hated the lemon pudding to start, but tried it again and added a few drops of lemon juice to the water and now it's one of my favorites.

At least to start with, I wouldn't worry about what the carb count is (track it if you want, I do but I like playing with numbers). Just follow the sheet and you'll be fine - no need to track anything. If you find you aren't losing you can always change it up some.

P1:

B: coffee and lemon wafers (because I'm too lazy to cook this morning)
L: 2 cups cauliflower and potato puree
D: 6 oz ground beef w/2 cups cabbage & mushrooms & liquid aminios
S: Strawberry pudding made into a shake

I've also been eating my restricted's at night (as that's when I get the munchies ) and that really works for me.

Breakfast = Vanilla Pudding with a pinch of Cinnamon
Snack= Chocolate Shake
Lunch = Chicken a La King with pepper and garlic poured over 2 cups Cooked Broccoli
Supper= Chicken Stirfry with IP Approved 2cups of veggies and 2TBSP Wf Ginger dressing ( YUMMO )
Snack = Caramel Nut Bar

Alright. I've been told I worry too much


Looked up a ton of recipes yesterday, cause I bought the potato puree and chicken flavoured patty's yesterday, and I don't want to just have the same veggies the same way all the time. I love how this diet teaches you how to get creative with your veggies.

P1

B: potato puree (made into puffs)
L: Cauliflower "popcorn" + salad + cran-pom shake
D: 4 eggs poached (wish I could have turkey bacon with it) + salad with bell peppers and celery
B: Bar (Milk Chocolate)

I'm with you on the veggies - I'm in love with turnips and cabbage! I like to cube the turnips and brown them (think home fries) and scramble them with eggs. So filling!

Just so you know, the 4 eggs doesn't get you up to your 8 oz of protein. The P1 sheet lists 4 eggs & 2 egg whites. If you used egg whites in your potato puffs you probably got enough protein but if not you can always just hard boil a couple of eggs and just eat the whites (I feed the yolks to my cat).

You're doing great!
