Hi Jillybean and legalbegal 52 - Yes I was thinking sprouted bread would do as well - it said in the book, 'flourless bread' or 'millet bread'.
I was down 7.8 after the first carb deplete week and today the end of week 2, I am back up 1.5 - not loving that - I guess 6 pounds in 2 weeks is okay though (better than six on
I know I wasn't really following the substitution plan so that could be it.
I hear you about being on a diet over Christmas - but I decided whenever I wait, like "Monday" or "the New Year" - I then eat like crazy before I start and then I have extra to deal with.
Does this sound like I have been dealing with this all my life? Yes! That is what attracted me to the First article in the first place(ha that sounds like a pun) lol, were the success stories of women my age (58)
No I have never heard anything about milk. I see in the second book there is mention of milk - like skim with cereal, etc. I'd have to go back and see where that fit into the cycles.
I have been adding a small amount (like 1/2 cup) to my protein drink, because I just don't like the taste with just water - I guess I haven't really been keeping track of carbs, but then it doesn't say to does it? (other than the first week)
Well you ladies (unless you're men) have a good day. I am very happy to have someone to bounce things off of.
