Also, Jarlie, have you considered maybe trying a grain that isn't as heavy as wheat? What about Quinoa? LOTS of protein/fiber and doesn't sit like a rock in your belly. Whole wheat cous cous and millet are also favorites of ours. They prepare very simply, like rice and wheat, but are lighter versions. I tend not to stall when I consume grains other than wheat, but wheat products just send me over the edge into stall-land.
I've seen some stores carry the Ezekiel break in the freezer section. Check there if it's not in the bread isle.
I had ww pasta last night. I got the "thin" spaghetti version which cooks a little faster than the regular kind. It was really good. I bulked up my spaghetti sauce with some veggies as well as the ground beef.
Zeff, yep I get it at Albertson's and they also have it at LeBlanc's, but they didn't used to carry it when I started this journey..glad they have it now or I'd be going to N.O. to get it.
update: I am going back to phase 1 tomorrow. Only tweak will be beans or berries, but not both, in the same day. So maybe phase 1.1 ?
I went through 2 months binge-free on SBD but had waaaaaay too much LC cheesecake today (and it didn't even taste good)after maybe 3 days LC'ing. Only positive is that I didn't derail afterwards. Thanks girls for having patience with me as I try to figure out my perfect zone
I lost on phase 1 pretty quickly, the 8 lbs, then in 2 i stuck with the plan and gradually increased my fruit and grains to 3 each a day and still lost 1-2lbs a week. I got up to 20lbs and now i'm so stalled that i treat myself more often than i should and now i'm up 3 llbs. I want to go back to phase 1 but i can't imagine not having fruit again. I can easily cut the grains but the fruit? I just love it so much!
Balie nef, blaie prope.
