Can I Get a Wha Wha??
Major victory for me today!!!
Cleaned out closet yesterday and gave away to charity 9 bags of clothes that are too big! Had weigh in today. Am on 4th week, so I got measured too and (drum roll pls.......) I am down 14 pounds and 11 inches!!!! I feel so amazing! It is crazy the differences from one week to the next. So excited --- this was just the motivation I needed to keep me away from the loaf of bread, tub of butter and bottle of wine!!!:carrot: |
I've seen some posts where some of you are using soy sauce in your recipes? My coach said anything we use has to have 0 cal, carb, fat, sugar. So how is soy sauce allowed, are you getting a special brand that has 0 calories?
Also, was wondering if any of you have some suggestions, I'm a very picky eater and hate most veggies. I've been living off of green peppers and cucumbers completely. I decided to try bean sprouts and make sort of a stir-fry tonight for dinner with those and sirloin. I really need something different. Do you have any suggestions as to what spices I can add to this for flavor? |
Week 5 weigh in and down 4 pounds!
WOW. So my guess to last week's 0 (lots of stress at work, little exercise, etc) is that I was retaining a bit of water maybe? Bought 2 more weeks worth of the food. Anyways: Week 1 - 3 Week 2 - 3 Week 3 - 2 Week 4 - 0 Week 5 - 4 |

My phase 1 protocol sheet says that soy sauce as a seasoning is allowed |
The signature option became available to me today so I'm trying it on.
Hang in there everyone! |

Whoa, I just read in Dr. Tran's book that this diet is meant to be followed for 2-4 weeks? Seriously that's it? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
And can I just say CONGRATS to Dad?! Your progress and stats are inspiring! |

jen1125 - Here's how I like my stir-fry veggies (below). Soy sauce is just fine as long as it doesn't have MSG. My chiropractor uses it in his veggies every night and he's lost a crazy amount - 40 pounds in 7 weeks or something? Ugh men have it so easy.
My stir-fry: I use 2-3 cloves of garlic (I press it in my garlic press, you can chop it too), fresh ginger (chopped - optional), some chopped green onions, 1/2 tsp of grapeseed oil (or olive), squirt of fresh lemon juice, and 1 Tbsp of soysauce. 2 cups of veggies - your choice! Put the oil in first, heat it up, add the garlic and all your veggies, add the soy sauce, squirt the lemon juice on it, toss in the spring onions, and stir-fry it up! I sprinkle more soy sauce on as it is cooking. Sometimes I put some water in too (1/3 cup or less) and put the lid on the pot for a minute or two. Then the veggies get kind of steamed but with the nice flavor of garlic. Also you can chop up fresh ginger and add that too- add at the beginning with the garlic. This comes out great when you use broccoli, cauliflower, green peppers, zucchini (sort of close to cucumber which you like), and I bet it would taste great with bean sprouts! Also toss some spinach in there and it tastes delicious! I like baby bok choy too - the flavor isn't that strong, maybe you would like it in the stir fry? I understand about picky veggie eaters, but I'm not one of them! A note about texture - don't stir fry it too long or your veggies get soggy and mushy. |
I too eat a lot of stir fry. What I especially like is to add Tofu Shirataki noodles to my stir fry. This special type of noodles has low calories and very low carbs and fat, but really adds to my enjoyment of my meal. Feels like I'm eating a LOT more food, too.
