Ye, but how many ounces is the link? I can't imagine it's a full 8 oz.

For example, if the link is 4 oz you would need 2 serving which brings the fat up to 24 grams.

I would err on the side of caution and say no, just my opinion.

It is so funny that you posted this.... I just took some out of the freezer and wondered the same thing. Yes, it's from Costco as well. Mine has 6 gms of fat but is only 110 calories for a whole one! I thought it would be delicious with some sautéed peppers and mushrooms. I know the fat is higher than 30 % but at 110 calories I didn't think I could go wrong....and sometimes you just need some variety. I'm going for it.

Continued....each sausage is 3.2 ounces. Maybe it's just the variety that you got....mine is Casual Gourmet brand, Sweet Italian Style. Using this one, 2 links would be 6.4 ounces and have 220 calories and 12 grams of fat. Senior members: Am I wrong or is this one to avoid?

Again, you need to figure the nutritional stats for EIGHT OUNCES of the sausage.
110 calories for how much?
If you don't get 8 oz, you're not getting all of the protein you're supposed to have

Just completed my first month on IPD - had my weigh-in this morning and I've lost 14 lbs! Yippee!

Hey all. Made it into work today. We are pretty short staffed due to folks not being able to get in due to Ice on the roads. That made for a bit of a crazy day. It also made for some grumpy gamblers. Selfish folks not understanding that we aren't used to /prepared for icy conditions and how dare we ruin their vacations keeping our families safe. (Sorry a bit of a rant there)

Anyway.Having one of those rare starving kind of days. I think its mainly mental, "that its cold outside let me stuff myself" thoughts. Also I've been taking it slow on the water. Its just so cold I cant stand to drink because it makes me colder. I'm powering through and not going to overindulge.

Just made chicken breast stuffed with spinach and homemade salsa...another success!

While driving home from the grocery store I passed all kinds of fast food places and thought "hmm, I wish I could just grab a quick supper." And then it was like a lightbulb went off.. In the past I confused hunger with craving bad food, thinking that was what I wanted, when really the only reason I wanted it was because I was hungry. There have been other times as well, especially over Christmas with all the extra treats everywhere, where I thought I wanted something, then realized the only reason I thought I wanted it was because it was near lunch or dinner time and I was hungry. I really need to retrain my brain to recognize hunger as nothing but hunger rather than craving of bad food. Because as soon as I eat my OP meal, all cravings are gone.

Great job!

Ugh, hang in there and stay safe! Can you get any herbal tea?

Love light bulb moments! You're doing an amazing job!

Hi everyone, I am new here. I would like to introduce myself. I am Theresa. I live in Katy, Tx. I am pleased to have found a group to go threw my journey with.
Today was my second week weigh in I am down 4.8lbs and my first week was -7.4lbs. I am very excited that this program is working for me.

Welcome, and congrats on some amazing losses so far! This really is a great group, make sure to check back several times a day for your daily dose of motivation and support!

shrinkingsusie: Thank you! I have the forum up 24/7 now on my laptop so I won't forget y'all are here :)

Welcome and great job!:carrot::carrot:

Welcome Sweetenuf! Great weigh ins. So happy IP is working for you :)

Susie- love that you are losing so many inches, makes it all worth it. You are also right on about craving unhealthy foods, usually it means I am too hungry or really tired.

Nolasmurf, what is wrong with people? Sorry that your day was filled with self absorbed idiots.

Peggypip- Congrats on your 14!

So how long did everyone wait to start working out?

Hello all from upstate NY, BRRRRRRRRR...

Been very busy but wanted to check in, everyone is doing great.

sweetenuf: Exercise is not strongly recommended until you are well into Ketosis, usually about 3 weeks. YOu shouldn't do hard core cardio, just gentle walks and some light strength training. The calories are very low on this program. WELCOME :)
