Ahhhhhh raspberries.....can't wait until i can have raspberries again!!!!!!

Oh, I'll second that. I absolutely love reaspberries and missed them sooooo much this summer.

Rainbow, we'll get there someday.

Me, too, on the raspberries. I was thinking about what fruits I'd like to eat the other day in the grocery store, and it was berries and apples. I was thinking about bananas, which were my mainstay before, and my mind just doesn't want that sweetness again.

Oh, to someday have those Phase 3 breakfasts.....

When you get to phase 3 remember fruit is just sugar...I have never been able to add much without gaining...

Yes, that's why I didn't want bananas. Berries and apples are better.

I put some organic pumpkin butter in my pancake mix and WOW - I loved it!! Didn't even need too much! Great idea!

I just got the info for Phase 32 last night from my coach. Allthe details seem overwhelming. I will start it on Friday. I am sure once I figure out the nutritional value of a few favorites, it will go pretty easy. Everything sounds great!

A big THANK YOU to all of you that shared your ideas on phase 3 breakfasts, especially LizRR! Spent most of the afternoon putting 1/2 dozen breakfast options on a spreadsheet so that I am ready to move on next week... (Skipping phase 2.)

Bipity-bopity-bump!

Bump - looking for Phase 3 ideas for my VIP - he's going to love me forever and ever and ever and ever with the pumpkin pie recipe.

Thanks Liz!

BON APETIT!! Tomorrow I am on for "breakfast Tuesday" in the lab. Made a french-toast-casserole/bread-pudding hybrid. Used cubed cinammon raisin sprouted bread, a layer of low fat ricotta, layer of rhubarb-raspberry-strawberry jam, layer of fresh cranberries, top layer of bread, poured a whisked mixture of egg whites, eggs,, fat free evaporated milk, vanilla, cinammon, & sweetener. It is soaking overnight, ready to bake tomorrow AM. Serving with choice of maple syrup,WF pancake syrup, whipped cream, & leftover jam. I am in Phase 4, and this is a lab of 20-something skinny guys, so I was liberal in my measurements. If it is successful i will figure out ratios for a 'proper P3' meal.

A much better option than the usual kolaches, donuts, or burritos!

Phasing off for vacation (skipping P2) in a few weeks so i'm starting to prepare. (Day after vaation I'm back to P1 for the last 20-ish pounds!).

I just copied pretty much every recipe and idea off of this thread.

Thanks everyone!!

Merry Christmas!

Hi folks, day two on Phase III and really did not want to bug my coach in Christmas Eve although I know she would not mind at all but that is the way I am. The question I have is, do I stop taking certain supplements when I start phase III? I know my doc was concerned about a potassium supplement until he saw the phase I routine but now that I am starting on carbs should I stop taking certain supplements?

Hi! I did stop the potassium when I started phase 3. You should be getting pretty close to a balanced diet, and it is probably not needed. I continued the others.

Merry Christmas!
