Default Latest Phase 1 Worksheet

The one I'm working from was printed 02/07/11 - that's the one I got from my Coach. Is there a newer one? I did a search but couldn't find one.

She is adament that red peppers are not allowed.

my dietician says red peppers are fine. I have found that it is different depending on whom you speak to

I just got in the new sheet dated 5/2/12....it says the same as starsandrockets....bell peppers. I have been on this for 73 weeks and have eaten all of the bell peppers and it hasn't changed anything in my loses. I dont' eat them every week or every day, the yellow, orange and red (I think)have more carbs but I use them as a "treat" for a different taste.

I ate the different colored bell peppers almost every day and never had a problem with my weight loss. I averaged pretty close to 3 pounds a week loss on Phase 1.

I've been eating the red, yellow and orange bell peppers a couple times a week since the beginning and I don't think there's been any negative affect. I'm averaging over 3lbs/week. I love them in stir fry with chicken, mushrooms, low sodium soy sauce and garlic chili sauce. It eases that Chinese food craving. We grill on Sundays and always have skewers of veggies including those peppers.

I had my first weigh in and only lost 1.5 pounds - she is convinced it's the red pepper (I ate one in the seven days) and not enough water. So this week I'm upping the water and taking out the red pepper.

I was having weeks that I hardly lost anything so I gave up the Mio and red, yellow, and orange peppers because of advice of my coach. Know what? Nothing changed. My losses are still as slow as ever (but still a loss) I will be eating my peppers again. I don't need the Mio.

I ate red peppers almost daily in my salads during my first week and still lost 6.8 lbs. I still eat red peppers several times a week in salad or stirfry and will continue to do so because I don't think it's affecting my weightloss at all

I'm eating red, yellow, and orange peppers daily! I had a 5.8 lb lost my first week, and 3 lbs this week. I may try to lighten up on them, but I won't cut them out completely!

Might those with the lower losses per week have something to do with that they don't weigh as much and they have less to lose? Not the red pepper?

Here's the scoop:

Green bell pepper (1 cup)
30 cal
7g carb (3g dietary fiber)
1g protein

Red bell pepper (1 cup)
46 cal
9g carb (3g dietary fiber)
1g protein

The extra 16 cal and 2g carbs are NOT going to throw off your weight loss.
