I thought Id start this back up....many times we are eating things that we dont know will stall us out. Others can pick up on it right away and help us out.

It also serves as a menu planner for others....great ideas on what else to eat, and how to cook it. I suffer from food boredom!!

I also added a poll....just for fun.....what do you eat the most, and most often, pick as many that apply, and I want to hear what the "other" food is that you eat often if you picked it.

So join in everyone, post your food for the day, everyday. Edit at the end of the day if you have to.

10/18 Food Plan:

Just an observation here: I'm seeing not enough veggies/salad foods consumed AND not really enough food, it seems. LC works best if you feed your body small meals thru out the day. I know that is hard sometimes but your body starts processing the intake properly if it doesn't think it is in starvation mode. Make sense?

Strange as it sounds......you have to eat to lose weight. Calorie intake should be between 1200 & 1600 per day.

Breaky~ protein/fibre shake

Lunch~ 1/2 can tuna w/ tsp m.whip. 2 slices ham

Snack~ .5 cup cottage cheese with 2 tbsp salsa warmed up

Supper~ taco salad on spaghetti squash

Snack~ 1 cup peas w/ tsp butter

Snack~ choco/pb pudding (see recipe section) (only if hungry later)

This is just one day that I posted, I generally eat salad everyday for lunch. The dinner that I posted doesn't have ingredients listed, there is broccoli and peppers and a whole bunch of other veggies. I'm just fine on my veggie intake. I will probably have a snack, but that will come to me when I get home. I'm allowing myself space for nuts or something of the like.

I know that I'm probably not getting enough veggies or salad. I didn't have any lettuce, but took care of that yesterday when I went shopping. I do aim for the 1,200 calorie mark 5 days a week and 1,600 2 days a week-not back to back days though. Today is going to be one of my 1,600 calorie days. I find the Slimfast Shakes very easy and convient and to be honest, right now I'm enjoying not feeling hungry all the time or going to the cupboard to eat. I have a huge problem w/once I start sticking food in my face, I can't stop. Okay, I don't stop. It's a long hard process and I'm trying to work on it all.

Today's Plan:

Breakfast: Slimfast LC Chocolate Shake (190 calories and 2 net carbs)
Lunch: Salad w/1/4c. shredded cheese, some bacon bits, maybe some hard boiled eggs and 1/4c. cottage cheese.
Supper:Hamburgers no bun w/the fixings and some green beans.
Water:60-70ozs.

Have a good day chickies staying OP!

Bec I know exactly what you mean!!! I dont like to eat when Im not hungry either, and dont! Once you get the hang of it, you'll figure out where to get the most bang for your calorie and carb....so your not eating as much when your not hungry. I like your 1220/1600 calorie split!!

Today...

Breaky~ protein/fibre shake.......thats about as far as my thought process has gone so far I'll post the rest later.

Lunch~ ham rollups

Supper~ sloppyjoe's minus the bread mixed with cottage cheese.

One of them not hungry days.

Breakfast: Um, you can smack me I forgot it at home and didn't have time to grab anything on the way to work.

Lunch: Grilled chicken fillet and ceasar side salad and a diet coke.

Snack: Handful of cashews

Dinner: Dry smoked turkey....working on figuring out a veggie.

What do those slimfast shakes taste like? do they provide any fibre? im looking for a good breakfast replacment because i really cant bare to eat anymore eggs and bacon brekkies and its only my third day on atkins!!!
