My goodness. I ended up taking a spaghetti packet to work for lunch today. I haven't had one of these in a really long time. I'm having a hard time finishing it. I'm so full. LOL What a great problem to have.
Hey there! I am brand new to this site so I don't know that you'll even get this-Liz you are my inspiration- here I'm finding myself disappointed with only dropping 10+ pounds in the last 2 1/2 weeks and feeling like I want to give up already!! I know, pitiful but just am missing bread, cheese and fruit way more than I thought I would. Late afternoons are hardest for me and so I've been eating my bar now with my coffee at that time but when evening comes around and I'm hungry-snack is gone so I've been trying to drink green tea to fill me up. Thanks for sharing your success-makes me smile
9AM--banana pancakes. I still haven't perfected pudding pancakes. Any tips?
12PM--rutabaga fries and steamed broccoli (very chilly here in Wyoming today so used my oven)

Hey, thank you for reaching out - PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP! Give yourself a REAL chance! You can really do this - there are so many options to fill any void you are finding. There are so many recipes using rhubarb & zucchini that fill your fruit need...you can use the soup & potato puree to make breads, puddings & crispy cereal make excellent waffles, pancakes, muffins...you can even use some veggie cheese sparingly to give a little flavor to some foods (IP Pizza, IP Lasagna, etc). I honestly, never felt deprived on my 22 weeks of Phase 1 - but it does take some effort to do the research, find the recipe, and prep the food - but once you've gotten it down a few times, it gets easier and easier!
I do most of my posting on 3FC - but I tried to capture my favorite recipes and such in my pitiful 3FC diet blog (REALLY need to update that thing!). I know the recipe threads can be overwhelming, which is one reason I think this thread is my favorite! http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/lizrr/
B: Blueberry Crangarita - blech, coffee
L: Chocolate drink in blender, good! and 2 C raw cauliflower and broccoli
D: Roast pork tenderloin, wilted kale and arugula, salad
S: Cookies and cream bar

Hi idealweight! are you eating any veggies? You can eat all the lettuce you want...some clinics allow you to eat all the lettuce and cucumbers you want. Add some walden farms dressing and maybe that will help you with the hungries. Tea does help too. Also, what about splitting your dinner protein in half and have some for lunch and the other for dinner?
What are you eating today IPeeps? Monday, August 20th!!!
