1 pkg crispy cereal crushed
2 egg whites beaten
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp vanilla
dash cinnamon & nutmeg

Beat eggs and add drying ingredients.
I spray a pan with Pam and heat the pan first, lower the heat, brown pancake slowly.


For "crisp" I spray something like a ramekin ( I have a brie baker for smaller brie round that is excellent size) with Pam. If I skip this part the cereal mixture sticks to the dish and I don't get to eat some of it.

I put frozen rhubarb into brie baker and sprinkle a bit of Splenda on it and put in microwave two minutes; stir it up and put it back in for another minute.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Pour cereal mixture over rhubarb and put in oven until it browns nicely about 20 minutes.
The hardest part is to leave it alone long enough to let it cool enough to eat, it smells so good.

You can also do this with an oatmeal pkg. I used maple oatmeal with 2 ounces of water and just put in over the rhubarb. I don't think I added anything else but haven't made it with the oatmeal for a while because the oatmeal is a restricted and the cereal isn't.

Wow! Perfect record 66 in 66.
Good for both of you.
The dreams on the plan are unreal. Or maybe real. It shows how much of our focus is concentrated on winning the battle this time.

My jars at home are finally looking almost even. That is exciting. My home jars have my full goal weight. You must do the jars. Once you hear that clink it will really motivate you. I think that is important early on in this diet. A bit later trying on clothes motivates you. We need different things at different times. These days it's going to the bathroom.

I had 2 good bathroom days and today we even got ComicCon tickets. So my inner geek is stoked.

Hey everyone! Congrats on your progress!

I have a quick question. I am in love with the oatmeal and I eat it as my restricted every morning. I've been eating oatmeal every day for 3 years lol. Anyway, I'm sad that I must choose between my morning oatmeal and the delicious bars, chili etc. each day. I recently found online oatmeal from ProtiDiet. It has 6 carbs (1 fiber). Would this count as unrestricted? Because that would make me the happiest girl this side of the Mississippi. :)

Good morning everyone
We are having company for a fondu tonight which I think should be fairly manageable, I'm doing beef, chicken and mushrooms with a large salad and a couple things I'll stay away from - twice stuffed potatoes and garlic bread and dessert.

I've made a platter of veggies to snack on first as well as bacon wrapped water chestnuts - question: are we allowed water chestnuts? I know bacon may be questionable but a couple of those would be awesome

thanks!

Yes it is low in carbs and doesn't count as a restrictive. I switched to alternatives a month back and everything I've ordered from Protienwell which carries the ProtiDiet products is very tasty - no bad luck yet. The oatmeal is really enjoyable and I love the blueberry pancakes - not restricted either.

I have a question. I just went up to Nashua Nutrition to purchase the ProtiDiet pancakes cause they are not restricted. Another IP person was their so I told her about them. She asked why they weren't and I told because they were under six carbs, is that correct?
