Similar issues here. Also at week 4 and feeling great. This is the most hopeful I have ever felt on a weight loss program. We can do this!
Been such a busy couple daysv-- the boyfriend is now on IP with me and wants pickles - is there a certain type/brand and ingredients I should avoid?? Also specific mustard brands??
Dinie89,
Look for pickles with no sugar. You'll have to read the labels. You can't go wrong with kosher dills or half sour polish style. I like the small ones, they have more crunch!
They do make no sugar sweet pickles, but they have a very strong aftertaste and usually have 1 carb per serving. Remember to count them towards your 4 cups of veggies.
Same goes for mustard. I use guldens or grey poupon. Also found a jalapeño mustard that is 0/0/0. I think it's Dietz and Watson brand. Just read the labels. If its 0/0/0, then go for it.
By the way, you are doing great! Good luck to you and your BF! It's nice to have someone to share this journey with!
Just having a break from my supper and had to share. It is sooo good. Chicken lettuce wraps. I got some alerady thinly sliced chicken breasts which I cooked separately and made cauliflower rice with orange pepper, celery, mushrooms, green onions, garlic and ginger. I add to the lettuce the chicken, rice, and a drizzle of the sauce which is so good (apple cider vinegar, soya sauce to darken, green onions, ginger, and lemon grass just floating around), fold lettuce over and yum! Anyway going to get back to eating and reading. Kids already ate so it's just me checking out what's going on around here.
You can get it in the produce section looks like a big hard stick of grass, light green, brown, or yellow coloring. These are tough and I just use for flavoring. Or they have it in the squeeze tube which is awesome to add to many dishes without getting stuck nawing on a hard chunk. Have to watch carbs in these though I just use a little. It's all you need though. I have no idea what actual lemongrass nutritional information is???? Hopefully it's okay.

I've got to say thank you for sharing your meal! I made chicken fried cauliflower rice for dinner and it was fantastic! Added some kale, bean sprouts, and green onion with my chicken breast. Sautéed in coconut oil... Ive been eating the same kind of flavors lately and this really switched things up nicely
I love the cauliflower rice....I sometimes add in a little bit of fat free ham. Last night I made up a batch of 'Not Potato Salad' to take for lunch today. It looks great.....hopefully it tastes great too. I'm trying to find new ways to prepare veggies so I don't keep eating the same old same old all the time.
