Default Newbies To The Lawl Area - Please Read Before Posting!

Hi everyone, and welcome to the LAWL section of the 3FC community!

This is a friendly reminder to please read through some of the threads before posting a topic or question for discussion-because the LAWL is a busy little section, and most likely your question has already been answered if you take the time to read a bit.

This keeps the area easier to navigate with not having multiple threads on the same topic or question, and the older members don't have to constantly answer the same 3 or 4 questions over and over.

If you have any concerns or needs, feel free to let me know.

Welcome again,
Aphil

Thanks Dairy!

Couple more things:

COD=center of doom
TOM=time of month
TO=takeoff
POP=perfect on plan
DH=dear husband (can also be DF (fiance) and various other family members)

Common alternative/cheaper versions of LAWL products-

LA lites-Lunas, Pria Completes, Kashi Go Lean bars

Takeoff Juice--Knudsen's Morning Blend juice available in many health food sections of the grocery store-6oz or 8oz juice/4Xday (decide for yourself, different people do different things)

Slimdowns--slimfast high protein shakes (closest in carbs/protein)

One more thing: Please don't ask questions or introduce yourself in this thread-we are trying to keep it a "info only" thread so that it will be easy to find information. If you have questions-please post them in the monthly thread or start a new thread. Thanks!

Anything else folks can think of?

TAKE OFF PROGRAM INSTRUCTIONS (LIMITED)

I bought two bottles of Knudsens Breakfast Blend juice (1 for each day). You mix 26 oz of juice, 6 oz of water, and 8 tsp of Benefiber.

FOR THE DAY:
6 oz. of the same protein
2c. raw GREEN veggies or 1c. cooked
2 LA Lites
16 oz. TO Juice (You add 16 oz. water to it)
no more than 2 6 oz. cups of caffienated coffee

The paper suggests this:

Breakfast - 2 oz. protein; 6 oz. coffee
Mid-Morning - LL; 6oz. coffee
Lunch - 2 oz. protein; 1C. green veggie
Mid-Afternoon - LL
Dinner - 2 oz. protein; 1C. green veggie

Here's specifically what I did:
Breakfast - 2 oz. chicken; 2c. Decaf Blueberry Herbal Tea w/1 pkt. Splenda
Mid-Morning - LL
Lunch - 2 oz. chicken; 1 c. romaine w/Wishbone Salad Spritzer (15 sprays)
Mid-Afternoon - LL
Dinner - 2 oz. chicken; 1 c. broccoli; 1 c. No Sodium Chicken Broth (this helped me to feel full and had 10 calories)

I broiled 2 chicken breasts with McCormick No-Salt chicken seasoning on Monday morning, and then I cut them into 2 oz. portions. For dinner, I added the same seasoning to the veggies and stir fried in Pam over the stove, and then added the 2 oz. chicken after the veggies had cooked a little, so that it was all heated together. And I added a little bit of No Sodium Chicken Broth to the mixture for some moisture and flavor

LIMITED T.O. WITH BARS
6 oz protein and unlimited green veggies. No soda, condiments or anything extra. Just 6 oz meat and unlimited green veggies, raw or steamed with water. No carrots, onions, tomoatoes, red peppers, etc.
Also 4 servings of T.O. juice (or may substitute 4 oranges, or 1/2 of a cantalope/day for the 4 servings of TO juice. If you use TO juice, you mix 16 oz of drink with 16 oz of water and sip throughout day. If you use the fruit just space it throughout the day as well).

After these two days, then do 12 more days of your regular program color.

Repeat 2 days of Limited T.O. with bars,

then 12 days of regular program,

repeat 2 days of above limited T.O. with bars.

The last week (week eight) you do your normal program but select your portions from the above 8 in 8 menu plan.

Substitutions: LA Lite bars are very similar to Luna Bars (best) or Pria bars (some do not like as well) and Kashi Go Lean bars. (Good).
T.O. juice: besides using the 4 oranges or 1/2 cantelope, (or 4 oz cantelope, 4 times per day) some are substituting 2 bottles of Knudsens Breakfast Blend juice (1 for each day). You mix 26 oz of juice, 6 oz of water, and 8 tsp of Benefiber to make.

Lea Ann posted this some time ago. Most of us do that do the Slimfast Optima also add a RF string cheese to make the protein counts a little more equal-

I did look on the Slimfast site for the shake breakdowns:

Low Carb / Optima / High Protein/ LA Slimdown/Atkins Advantage
Cal 190 / 190/ 190/ 270/ 170
Fat 9 / 6 / 5/ 5/ 9
Sodium 260 / 200/ 220/ 380/ 165
Carbs 6 / 5 / 24/ 36/ 5
Sugars 1 / 18 / 13/ 32/ 1
Protein 20 / 10 / 15/ 20/ 18

Someone posted this a while back. Sorry, I forgot who did or I would give you credit-

Here's a plateau breaker suggested by my COD-

Proteins - lean options such as chicken, fish and veal
Starches - high fiber/low cal, lite whole grain bread (35-45 cal/slice)
Fruits - high fiber - strawberries, raspberries (I used frozen) and apples
Vegetables - high fiber - broccoli and spinach
LA Lites: 1 drink and 1 bar instead of two bars a day.
H2O - up to 10-12 glasses
No fast food, frozen food or restaurant foods

In addition, I suggest hot lemon water first thing in the morning
and adding lemon juice to your water.

I also try to use protein instead of cereal for my breakfast to get my metabolism going early in the day. Try skim ricotta cheese slightly warm with cinnamon. It is yummy. You can add fruit if you like.
