Happy thursday everyone! Way to go on the WI's and the SMALLER SIZES!! I had my WI today and am down a little over 4 pounds! :carrot: My total is 28.4. Still waiting to break the 30 mark but feeling good. My coach thinks I look great and she said we may actually go to phase 2 when I hit 140. She says I'll still lose and I may need that extra protein, especially if I'm working out. (She OK'd that as well). I showed her the gap in my size 10 waist!
Life is good in IP land here in PA! I am in meetings all day so likely won't check back til tonight. I've fallen into the habit of catching up while watching the Olympics :) Have a GREAT DAY! Renee |
I made some garlic mashed cauli the other day for supper and had a bunch left over (hubby and the kids were not as enamored as I was!). Was hankering for a little more hearty breakfast today, so I mixed about 2/3 cup of the leftovers with 1 egg white for a binder, and fried it in an attempt to make cauli-hash browns to go with my IP omelet. It wasn't half bad! I have to play around with the ratios a little and it seemed to take a LONG time to get browned, but I had a pretty hearty breakfast!

If you don't have a food processor, I *think* that rainbowsmiles has a post in her recipe thread where she just used a fork/potato masher to beat them into submission :) |

Obviously your coach will know best, but the paperwork I received said to make sure I had the following: -Up to 30 grams net carbs (you can deduct fiber from the total carb count) of grains -Up to 20 grams net carbs of fruit -Up to 120 calories dairy -Atleast 25 grams protein -NO MORE than 15 grams total fat for the meal -You'll end up between 400 and 500 calories for the meal Basically I had two meals that I just alternated between: Meal One - Less than the 15 grams fat; more than 25 grams protein; and was within the 30 grams carbs of grains, 20 grams carbs of fruit, and 120 calories of dairy -Two slices of Orowheat toast -Two turkey sausage patties -Cup of greek yogurt with the attached fruit compote Meal Two - Less than the 15 grams fat; more than 25 grams protein; and was within the 30 grams carbs of grains, 20 grams carbs of fruit, and 120 calories of dairy -1.5 cups Kashi Go Lean Cereal -.5 cup sugar free vanilla almond milk -Two turkey sausage patties On the weekends when I wanted coffee with cream, I'd go with the second meal as it allowed for three tablespoons of half and half without maxing out the dairy calorie count and the fat count. Hope this helps! |

I too am a daily weigher. Today it paid off 2.4lbs in one day, but I know tomorrow it very well could be up. I am 100% OP so I know it will come off no matter what the daily up and downs do.
Yesterday I was so hungry all day. I made a spinach chocolate shake, so there was no actual chewing and for dinner I had an omelet with 2 eggs and 1c spinach and 1c mushrooms (which of course cook down to nothing). My bar was the only saving grace. I couldn't sleep I was so hungry. Hot tea helped a little. Today it will be large salads. Happy Thursday! |

Just remember that if you are staying op that it is all water fluctuations and will resolve. There is no possible way you eat enough to gain 3 pounds. Note what foods you ate. If I eat turnip fries I am always up for a day. |
Good Morning everyone!
I am starting to get nervous about this camping trip. I mean I will only be gone one full day from home. I know I can stay OP but I am worried about getting all my veggies in. I'll just have to make sure I packed everything I need (which will have to be done tonight) since we are leaving right after work tomorrow. Looks like alot of you have had some aweome losses this week so far. That it great. I am starting to feel my pants falling down. I can tell when I am walking b/c I end up walking on the back part of my pants. What a good feeling! Sunday is the day. First preseason football game! WHO DAT!! Hope everyone has a good OP day!! |

My only advice is that phase 1 is way less work than phase 2! I work out every day intensely and stuck with phase 1 to goal as the effort of making 2 meals every days was beyond me! You can always add protein in the form of eggs, etc. if you think you aren't getting enough with the packets! Just my experience. Good luck! |
I have heard something about chia seeds and how they can keep you full for longer periods of time. Does anyone know any info about them? I am going to look them up but figured you smart people probably know the details and can tell me a yes or no if they are allowed/good/bad/ugly.

Here's a great recipe for a Chia seed pudding:
http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/06/m...a-pudding.html They're an amazing source of fiber (which is lacking on this diet). Mango Coconut Chia Pudding Servings: 2 • Size: 1 cup • Old Points: 3 pts • Points+: 3 pts Calories: 159.1 • Fat: 9.6 g • Protein: 3.6 g • Carb: 17.9 g • Fiber: 6.5 g • Sugar: 9.2 g Sodium: 52.2 mg Ingredients: 1/2 cup lite coconut milk 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk 3/4 cup fresh ripe champagne mango, diced 2 tbsp chia seeds 1 tbsp sweetened shredded coconut 4-6 drops Nu-Naturals liquid stevia |

http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/...roducts/3061/2 I found this link with nutritional value of 1 oz chia seeds - if this is accurate then I don't think you can have it on Phase 1 (12g carbs) but it might be ok for the other Phases, would be worth checking with your coach! |
Big week
K, I started IP the end of May...I weighed in today and I'm down a total of 40lbs....I'm very excited...On the other hand...I have a job interview which is a physical hands on factory simulation for 5 hours on Tuesday. I've talked to my instructor and she is allowing me to go out of ketsosis(sp) on Monday and start back full force on Wednesday morning. I have to eat properly those 2 days so I have lots of energy to full this intererview...
Any advice? |
