  • Quote: Is anyone continuing on with phase one for next week? I think I'm going back to it again for a while, beginning tomorrow.
    Definitely me! I'm doing the full two weeks.
  • Yes, I'm continuing with it through Sunday the 26th. I'll start a new thread for next week on Sunday monring.
  • I totally fell off the bandwagon--But I'm going to re-start on Saturday or Sunday and do the full two weeks.
    Mmckellen, I think the pound was water weight, there is no way I could have lost a pound of fat in three days, but usually my water fluctuates by 3-4 lbs. Or else my scale is wrong.
  • I'm going with the full two weeks, though I'm missing my green monsters in the morning. I tried a green monster without the fruit and they are a little....um....uh...
  • Zeffryn: I green monsters! I think you could substitute the banana for Greek Yogurt! I made a protein shake today and used yogurt instead of the banana and it was YUMMILICIOUS!

    1 scoop whey
    1/2 cup Vanilla us Almond Milk
    3 oz plain Greek Yogurt
    1 T sf Chocolate syrup
    1/4 tsp Coconut Flavoring
  • I'm sticking it out the full two weeks.

    Mmckellen, probably was the sbd 'flu'. I feel much better today. I didn't know you were supposed to take it easy on exercise during the first week. If I have energy issues tomorrow I won't beat myself up about it.

    Last night I dreamed I was eating a cup of baby carrots. Not something I've ever craved or wanted before. Weird. And when I saw cherries at the grocery store I almost lunged at them. They are my favorite fruit. I can't wait for phase 1.5 where I allow myself a serving of berries or cherries a day. It hurts to avoid them when they are in season.

    B: 1 cup ff plain yogurt and 2TBSP natural pb
    S: 1 hard boiled egg, 1 cup of veggies and 1 tbsp hummus
    L: Squash Pizza and a few jicama strips
    D: 3-4oz grilled pork tenderloin, green beans, salad with yogurt parm dressing
    S: string cheese and jicama strips

    Tons of water, I don't keep count. It's all I drink beside one coffee or tea in the morning and the occasional herbal tea at night.

    Went for a long walk today, pushed DD up a ton of hills.
  • Hi everyone!
    Today marks my 2 weeks since I started P1.
    I haven't lost that much but I did get my period this week (over now). In fact if I go with the weight two Sundays ago, I have lost only 2 kilos.
    For the promises of a lot of pounds lost in 2 weeks, I am very disappointed. But as my friend said, it's STILL a loss... and frankly, I've cut out everything "bad" and my portions were always small so even if I say "this diet isn't for me" I don't know a diet that IS because I only eat lean meats and veggies (lettuce and cucumber and tomato only). I cheated a little twice but I made up for it the next day.
    I will stick with it of course but it makes me a little sad that at this rate it will take me years to lose any significant amount and we want to try for a new baby... I am 33 so I don't really have "years" to wait... but then again I was 27 when I had my boys and I did everything right and still ended up with special needs preemies so...

    Sorry about the mopping, I am really an upbeat person but I have resisted everything I crave and love to eat with very small results I need to see a doctor I think as I do have hormonal issues. Maybe I need T4 again or something.

    Anyway, here's yesterday's menu for me:
    B: Beans, boiled egg, two slices of turkey bacon
    S: Two Laughing Cow Light wedges
    L: Lean ground beef stuffed zucchini and a little bit of feta cheese
    S: Two or three slices of turkey
    D: Lettuce and chicken breast salad but I only ate half the portion
  • Chocoholix, congratulations for completing Phase 1! I'm sorry that you didn't lose as much as you'd anticipated, but you have to remember that this plan does not promise that you'll lose a lot in the first two weeks, it's just a possibility. I bet you're noticing that your clothes are a lot loser, though, and that you are feeling better. Phase 1 is a detoxing period, and Phase 2 is where the serious weightloss begins. Hang in there and rejoice in the fact that you are doing your body so much good by eating healthier.

    P1D6 for me. Since I don't weigh myself and don't even own a scale, I have no idea whether I've lost any weight, but something good is happening. I don't have that muffin top any more!

    B. Flax muffin with a smear of peanutbutter
    S. Greek yogurt w/chia and toasted almond sf syrup
    L. veggie filled salad w/roasted chickpeas, avocado and Laughing Cow blue cheese
    S. cucumber rounds topped with hummus
    D. crackslaw
  • Phase 1, day 6
    Saturday:
    B: leftover mashed cauliflower
    L: COMPLETELY OFF PLAN McDonald's 6 pc. chix nuggets and a small fries, bbq sauce
    S: lf lebanese string cheese, black olives, roasted chick peas (went to the middle eastern market today!), wine
    D: spinach pie

    I am editing this at 5:20pm. Today was completely off plan but I want to be honest about exactly what I ate to keep myself accountable. Tomorrow will be back on plan. In fact I'm going to start the thread now.
  • K9 - I used yogurt in it as I always do, I just didn't add any other sort of flavors. I'm a huge veggie fan, but apparently pureed kale and veggie soup in a cup for breakfast was not working for me. I tried it again this morning with this combo, it was better.

    1 scoop vanilla sun warrior
    1 scoop greens powder
    big ol' handful of kale
    1/3 cucumber, peeled (I think that was a problem before - BITTER!)
    US almond milk
    greek yogurt
    stevia and vanilla extract, coconut extract

    ---
    P1

    1: green monster smoothie (recipe above)
    2: kale salad w/ thai pnut dressing
    3: edamame
    4: kale salad w/ hummus dressing

    exercise: 60 min. zumba
  • Helllloooooo everyone! I posted in the main SB forum, but I'm here too now. After a week away on a carb/sugar filled vacay, I'm in for 2 full P1 weeks! I started yesterday with:
