OK ya kinda lost me there. You count that as 1S 1P 1C? Is taht better than doing 1CC. I haven't actually done a carb craver yet and not real sure what the benefit is. Seems that if you do that you have a lot more food during the day but do you really want to do that weight wise? Again, the carb cravers confuse me so let me know how those should be used.
1 S, 1/2 P, 1C. I don't like too much bread in my PB & J. Plus, by doing the S, 1/2 P, 1C I get both more PB and more J! Granted I'm on RED so I do get the 3 starches a day.
Also, in a pinch I've put 1 1/2 Tbsp PB on a LA Biscotti, that's a quick out the door breakfast. I leave the house at 5:15 every morning, I have 90 second breakfasts down to a science.
Are we allowed to have waffles? Can you use sugar free syrup? WHat would it count as?
1 Low Fat waffle count as one starch. It's in the original program books. I think the S/F syrup would be one condiment. I typically do the waffles with either cream cheese or peanut butter instead of bread.
Man, I must be a real pig.......cuz I truly LOVE eating all of my foods. I rarely feel like it is too much.........but I guess, maybe at first, it seemed a bit overwhelming. I now truly enjoy a piece of fruit......or a salad.......do you think that makes me nuts???? LOL. I do think not eating lites makes ME enjoy the sweet tastes to foods that I never was really able to appreciate. I am not dissin' lites........cuz I really enjoyed them.....but it is a very different experience without them. Anywhoo........I didn't really help anyone here.......just chatter
I don't know about you guys, but the hardest thing for me was accepting the fact that more food would make me lose weight faster. I found it hard to trust the plan, because it's just so counterintuitive. In fact, yesterday I confused people at work by telling them how I wasn't losing weight as quickly anymore, so my COD switched me to a plan with more food. But of course, LAWL knows best!
I agree! It's hard to believe that we get to eat SO MUCH food and LOSE weight! I'm doing better with eating it all. But my COD suggested eating a whole protein for breakfast and half for dinner where I had been doing the opposite. I did that today and am STARVING! I have never been a breakfast person so eating so much in the a.m. is hard for me and just leaves me hungrier in the evening. Not to mention tends to give me a headache. BTW, I gained a pound from Monday to Wed. Any chance that's from it being "that time"?? Is that normal? Sorry for the Too much info. Just wondering...
It's usually water weight. A lot of women retain water like crazy during their periods, plus personally, I find I'm more likely to give in to temptations (mmm chocolate). So it's a double whammy :P
Just wanted to say that I totally agree with the whole "counterintuitive" thing - My dh is on the plan with me (we started 3 weeks ago together) - and we often will sit there in amazement at how MUCH food we're eating...and yet we are FINALLY losing this weight!
Yeah, just a little south. Thanks on the pic. I finally got some Easter pics sent to me from my sister and it was so funny because I looked at them and realized that for the first time this decade I didn't have a double chin!
