  • 8:15 Breakfast: 6 oz milk (2) protein, 1 egg (2), protein, yogurt (1), 1/2 banana (1) fruit, 2 slices of low cal WW toast (1) carb TOTAL meal points 7

    11:15 Snack: 100 calorie pringle snack pack (3)and handful of baby carrots (0)


    2:15 Lunch: Healthy choice frozen dinner and a handful of baby carrots (6 points)


    5:15 Dinner: 1 chicken breast in the rotissorie (3), steamed brocolli (0), carrots (0), left out the carb, trying to cut back on those.

    8:15 Snack: 3 oreo's (3)

    treat: Special K snack bites (2)

    WATER: Still working on that

    TOTAL POINTS I HAVE EATEN TODAY: 24 points, I am allowed 28 points.


    * I wanted to compare this plan to WW and just see if I could incorparte the two so the #'s in parenthesis is point value according to WW. Total points 28 per day.
  • I have always thought of doing that too. This will be interesting to see how it turns out.
  • Monday

    8:30 breakfast: 1 cup cheerios (2) 6 ozs milk (2), 1 banana (1) and 1 yogurt (1) 1 cheese stick (1) and 4 flax caps Total points 7

    11:30 Snack, will be at a play date so I will try to only eat off the veggie and fruit tray

    2:30 Lunch, Well lets just say this............it wasn't too bad but definately not OP I had some carrots, cucumbers, some fruit and a PB & J sandwich and handful of chex mix

    6:00 Snack 1 100 cal pringles (2) and 1 special k snack pack (2)

    8:00 Dinner: Salmon (4) and some steamed veggies (0)

    Total points today: Unsure of todays total points due to lunch

    WATER:

    20 mins on bike and 30 minute work out with cardio/weight training switch. Total work out 50 mins.
  • I guess WWs works with this too. I will be interested in seeing what you weight loss is compared to others. Your foods are just about the same, so it will probably be the same.
    Water is very hard for me to get in. I bought this container that holds 32 oz of liquid and I keep it in the refrigerator filled with water. I pour the water out into a "Bubba Keg" (I bought this at Wal-Mart) and make sure that I drink 2 of the 32 oz containers. I hope that made sense.
  • Since I have to get 28 points or close to it each day, its very easy to plan my meals to work evenly with the JC plan so we will see when I have WI this weekend!
  • Let me know if you have trouble, Laurie. It has been my experience that WW is more carb-centric while JC is more protein centric. I think it should work out ok... but if you find you are running out of points that could be why.
  • ACtually I am finding myself not eating enough points so far these last two days and I really limit my carbs cause I know how my body doesn't do good with them.

    Laurie,

    I am on the ww online site as well as jorge cruise online site. it will be interesting to see how the two diets together work out for you.
    Hang In there and feel better.

  • ACtually the two weeks I was doing the WW vs. the JC there's really not alot of difference. I think besides the timing thing, on the JC plan I eat more at Breakfast than I typically would on WW but I averaged out one of my days on WW vs JC and the point system was right in line with what you eat on JC.
