RosiePosie: I love blue cheese dressing and avocado and I'm sure your salad will taste like heaven for your first P4 fat-meal. Welcome to the wonderful world of maintenance :joker:

I have another question for you. Sorry! Now that P3 is over, do I need to eat those size breakfasts still or can I split them up? I'm thinking of doing 4 oz Greek yoghurt with 1/2 cup blueberries and granola for breakfast and then having another 4oz of yoghurt with 1/2 cup blueberries for a mid-morning snack. |

Anyone else wanna weigh in on this one? |
I have heard different answers on this question. My coach said not to split breakfast, that your insulin levels should only spike once. So, that is what I have been following.

I do notice, with the P3 breakfast, that I am consistently over the 1000 cal mark on MFP now. I'm not worried, because I seem not to be adding weight. I like your description that P4 is just P3 with some added foods - much simpler than I've been seeing it! So basically, we are adding some fat at lunch & some carbs at dinner & getting used to what a ratio of 3:1 looks like on a plate. Yes? :^: |
Way to go, RosiePosie :cheer:
I am right behind you, by a week! Watching you move forward ahead of me is a bit like approaching a cliff & seeing you leap over first, saying: 'I can Fly!!' And lots of other Maintainers hovering, saying: 'You can do it! Just flap your wings!' :df: |

Good morning! I think I'm back in the land of the living - yucky stuff!
Rosie - I often have my hardboiled egg between breakfast and lunch instead of actually at breakfast, I figure it is close enough to count. I'm not sure splitting up the yogurt and berries would work the same way because of the sugars - my coach also told me that the idea is to only spike your insulin once in the morning. I would go with something protein based for your mid-morning snack - hard boiled egg, cheese, like that. Or, it could not be a problem for you - maintenance takes a bit of tinkering. Try it with the yogurt and berries for a few days and see how you feel - if you're super hungry before lunch or it just doesn't feel right you can always switch it around. And congrats on reaching maintenance - that is so awesome! |
