You've learned a lot of good tools with this diet. Veggies at lunch and dinner is a good one. So on maintenance you might have pizza, but it might be a slice or two with a salad and some veg! Not just the old way of slamming down as much pizza as you can and washing it down with cheezy bread or whatever. Having a good fulfilling breakfast will help your whole day as well, as opposed to downing a coffee and a sugar filled treat and setting yourself up for a bad day of eating. |
Another good tool that I have heard is eat your protein first, veggies and then carbs, this is exactly the opposite of how I used to eat and I love zanthia's idea about putting veggies under the carbs to make it look like more, I am a big eater or I guess used to be so I go for quantity but I also like yummy food..... oh lets face it I :love: good food!!!!

Hey Erin:
maybe you just gained your glycogen reserves and are a very lucky IPer??? as for me, I haven't gained a pound after my weekend away. Of course that is on my own scale, we'll see the truth tonight on the gym scale. |

Hello all you wonderful gals!!! I have made it to Phase 2 but i it feels overwelming. Ugh more meat for lunch, i cant even think about more.

I'll be in NH, but I think I'd better make it a point to check up on you every so often in case a crisis arises! I don't want you having a panic attack or anything. ;) |

FYI- Breakfast bars- So I have made the bars that Xanthia posted, subbed half quino flour for ww flour, used PB2 instead of real peanut butter, just brown sugar slenda, to cut back on carbs & fat and added more protein, they came out really well, I made them into bars rather than cookies and I added cocoa which I discovered is 1 net carb per tbs |
hello Avacado! I had missed you sooooooooooo much!

Bumping this...because I love reading about my future :D

Holding steady, first week of maintenance almost done. I think I can handle this as long as I keep exercising regularly.

Hi y'all. I haven't been posting on the boards, but can I join you Life After Phase 1ers?! I'm starting Phase 2 today, but am having a few doubts about it. I keep thinking maybe I should stay on Phase 1 another couple of weeks to lose another 5 lbs or so (and try to get to the ever elusive size 4), but I'm also happy with myself for the first time in years when I look in the mirror, so decided to phase out. Has anyone struggled with when the right time is to start Phase 2? I'm looking forward to it, but afraid that I should stick with Phase 1 a little longer. I'm also going on vacation in the middle of September, so I'm thinking I will do better if I'm on Phase 3 by then.
Congrats to all of you on maintenance. You look fantastic (and I bet feel it too!) |
