Tam I'm afraid what's going to do me in is boiled crawfish. 6 oz? How are we going to know when we are at 6 Oz when we are peeling and eating as we go. We do corn potatoes mushrooms. I could eat corn (carb) mushrooms (free) dip(fat). Potatoes no problem leaving that out.

According to the article below, 6 oz peeled crawfish tails are roughly equal to 3 lbs unpeeled. So, if you can weigh them before you peel them, that might help. If you're making them at home and have a food scale, you can do a test one day to see how many peeled equals 6 oz -- and then use that as guide for the future. Or at least see what 3lbs unpeeled looks like. If this is one of your favorite foods, than I think its well worth the effort to learn what a reasonable serving size actually looks like.

Thank you Maureen. Yes I can say boiled crawfish is my favorite meal. On an average I would say I usually eat 4 lbs. but very rarely eat the other stuff boiled with it like corn mushrooms onions. I'm guessing I'm going to eat more veggies and cut back on lbs of crawfish.
I'm just starting this plan and it's still in the learning stage. I ate breakfast snack and lunch already and it seems like a lot of food. I guess we will see if I lose.

Thanks again

I am still here! Been so busy at work and will be until the end of May. Still trying to do the 111, have slip ups every now and then, but still trying to learn everything.

I have tried a couple other versions of this. The Cups diet as well and find the 1.1.1 seems to work best. I have only been on a couple days. Actually tried a couple months ago and started out great but had a relapse when I developed serious health problems. Hard to lose since I am incapacitated. I am 84 and using a scooter because difficult for me to walk. only 4 ft 10. Of course loosing weight will be a great boon in my health. I find it really easy to eat this way. 🙄It is good to see others posting there diets. 👵

Hello. I like the idea of this eating plan,but am also skeptical of all diets. Too many years of not admitting all diets only work if I work the diet.
Hate the idea of buying another diet book! Can’t figure out how much fat,carbs etc to eat per day & not sure what is counted as fat. Don’t like peanut butter,so need to find something else. Sorry to be a pest. Thanks for your posts on the diet.trish08
