I'm a newbie! - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Jow · 11-01-2006, 08:34 AM

I've ordered the book, and tried to gather as much information as I can until it comes. From what I understand the first 9 days is fruits, vegetables (non starch variety), brown rice, skim milk & yogurt (non fat/plain)...am I on target with this?

Can someone tell me

1) Are bananas allowed?
2) The limit on the skim milk & yogurt?

Thanks for your help!

I have not gotten the book yet either - but have been lurking on this site for about 2 weeks now.

Hopefully someone will chime in here and help us out!

Have a great day!

Welcome! Yes, you can have bananas (thank goodness or I would be in trouble) and the limit on your skim/low fat or soy milk is 2 cups a day. Remember when you use it for other things to add it all up. You can have 6 oz. of plain low fat yogurt 2 times a day. Eat all the fruit and veges you want (but dont stuff yourself), you can have 2 cups of brown rice day, 1 cup of oatmeal, 4 egg whites, 2 cups of herbal tea, and drink, drink, drink water. Good luck to you. I have been successful and this is my first time trying a diet.

How long have you been on the diet?....and if you don't mind my asking....how much weight have you lost?

Beans are unlimited (kidney, black, navy, etc.) and you can also have tofu.

I even ate corn on the detox. I just ended today and lost 7 pounds. Good luck you. This plan is so doable.

Your very welcome. I have been doing fat smash a little over 2 weeks. I have went back to phase 1because I cheated with my kids over the weekend. I have lost 10 lbs and I am bumping up the exercise this week so I hope it helps. My goal is to lose another 10 lbs by Christmas. This diet is easy, the hardest thing for me was the salt. I have learned to eat combinations I would have never thought of before and I am enjoying it. Good luck to you!
