Baseballmom, you are most welcome to the new forum, it isn't just for oldies....we all are going to hit the next phases and want to plan. Are you talking the figures for Phase 4 with the calories and the carbs? If so, I got onto Fitday and plugged in foods that we would eat on that phase and it totals everything up. I'll do it for the rest of the phases today for y'all if you would like. Just let me know. I'd like to see what your prints outs for the next Phases say compared to the Dr. Tien website!! Please, post.

Elisatamar, sounds to wierdly coincidental to be just coincidental. Definitely a possible theory for us to watch!!! Next step, how do we control our dreams to be weird or what we dream about so we can lose more weight? I wanna be in on that!!

I'll rescan and post Phase 4, the attachments are on page 5 for all the others! The things that stick out for Phase 4 is

Breakfast- Fat, Protein, Carb, Fruit
Lunch- Protein, Veggies, Fats NO CARBS (because of when the energy is available)
Dinner- Protein, Veggies, Complex Carb, Fruit NO FATS (because your body will make it stay during sleep)
Snack- Protein

Fats were listed as- butter, cheese, milk, yogurt, margarine

So... I figured it out. I have to eat pizza for breakfast. Whole wheat pita, homemade sauce, lowfat cheese and pineapple and ham!!!

Ogdog- I'm in sparkpeople, so I will try that this weekend! Thanks!!!

baseballmom, I went back and found the posts!! Okay, have some extra time on my hands at work right now so went in and figured out Phase 2 for you. Looks like you eat 1100-1200 calories and have approx 45-50 carbs. I used some high based carbs though for a more real feel. And that is all if you use WF dressings. You will go more toward the 1200 and 50 if you eat your own dressings or other dressings. Going to do Phase 3 now.

Mmmmm, pizza!!!!!

Looks like Phase 3 is 1500-1600 calories all, and approx 100-120 carbs depending on your choices. I went for conservative choices (like non-fat yogurt as the dairy vs cheese).

baseballmom, have you read Dr. Tien's book yet??

Thank you! I did, but focused more on the early stages, will have to go reread it! Looks like Burritos could be dinner, but Quesadillas will have to be for breakfast! Also, I'm planning on almond butter, banana sandwiches for breakfast. Looks like breakfast will be my favorite meal of the day!!!

Ogdog, what phase would you say you are following now? Alt.1?

Which phase are you talking about?

I feel like a PIG & want to go back on the diet now. Last night I had a healthy serving of an american/asian chicken dish with brown rice & a great salad. After I left that resturant, I went to the Dairy Queen & got a small blizzard & ate 1/2 my sons hot dog, then to Perkins for a cinnamon roll. This morning I ate 3 donuts & if there were more, I would eat them all too! AHHHHHH! Who have I turned into? I hope to be able to move my bday dinner up to tomorrow night, not next Saturday so that I can STOP this feeding binge I am on! I will have to hit the Gymnevia HARD when I get back on plan next week.

I can not get them open? Can anyone else open Baseball mom's PDF's?

Are you doing Alternative phase 1? or 2?

MeghanO- I SO hope you can move it up! For me, I have to think that I have this carb disease. My body just can't have it, I know I'm super sensitive to it. So, I'll have to live the rest of my life eating only good carbs, when I hit my goal.

Will power is so tough, GOOD LUCK to you.

Yes. I am eating cheese and nuts and fruit along with my IP packets. Okay, adding to this a bit. I am having a cheese egg white omelet in the morning with ketchup (low sugar, heinz). I then have a some nuts for a snack. Then I do my 2 cups of veggies and a salad with my IP protein pack. Then I have either nuts or some fruit for a snack. Then I have my fish for dinner, a salad and my 2 cups veggies. Lastly I have a restricted item for dessert. Ideally I don't have wine with dinner...ideally.
