CAn you tell me a little of how you worked the plan? Including your staying strict, using alternate foods, exercising, additional packets, restricteds. If you don't mind, that is!

thanks

My coach contacted the IP Scientific Lab and this is the response that we received.
"Jicama is allowed on Phase 1, although you can only have a 1/2 a cup a week."
So that is like less than a restricted veggie. So I wonder is it even worth it?

I guess leave it up for yourself to decide which way to go..its your body..your choice..and if you dont know..dont go there..
It is on my Phase I sheet as permitted vegetable - I got this sheet in September.

I also know that a lot of folks on this site swear by it.

I eat jicama, as fries, on a salad or fried with some coconut oil and topped with splenda and cinnamon ( one of rainbow's recipes) I use about a cup at a time with other veggies or as a mid way snack. it has not hurt my losses and has helped me enjoy my veggies.

Here is the most recent Phase 1 sheet - Jicama is on there as an approved veggie, not a restricted veggie.

http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/4448522-post13.html

There are a couple of threads on here about our collective love for jicama It's actually a turnip, not a root veggie like potato or carrot. Delicious, and a great substitute for apples, water chestnuts in stir fry, or just by itself!

peel your jicama and slice as thin as you can!!
the thinner, the crispier the edges!!!



i only used 1 tsp coconut oil....in the pan...
saute your jicama chips on both sides....until slightly brown!



once they start to brown, sprinkle with cinnamon and splenda...
or powdered stevia or sweetener of choice.



flip your slices and cover the other side with cinnamon splenda too!!



O.M.G. SWEET GOODNESS!!!

ok....the taste....on the first bite...i was like....wait a minute...
these taste like....like....
a cross between a cinnamon funnel cake and those
crispy edges of your favorite pancakes!!!!

i kid you not!!!




WANNABiTE???????????



another bite...and ....YUM!!!!

i topped mine with 1 TBSP Walden Farms Maple Syrup...
and by the time i was getting to the end...this most delicious
flavor was bursting through leaving a puddle of
cinnamony goodness in the plate!!



DID YOU SAY YOU WANTED SOME???



ahhhhh SORRY...i ate it all!!
and YES I EVEN LICKED THE PLATE!!
well, almost, cleaned the plate with my fingers and licked them clean!!

Try it raw with a little lime juice and sprinkle chili powder and salt on top. Yum!
Rainbow...Your Coconut Fried Cinnamon Chips look yummy too.

I tried the Jicama but found it very expensive in Saskatchewan. The rutabaga was much more inexpensive to make fries out of.

I also found that it had brown spots on the inside which were not predictable from seeing the outside. Does anyone know how to pick a good one?

Hey, in Rainbow's pictures, these look kinda like potato chips! Does anyone cook them with salt and a spicy seasoning instead of cinnamon? Potato chips have always been one of my weaknesses, and I'm looking for some substitutes. I tried the kale chips already...didn't quite do the trick for me.
