  • I don't have my book anymore, I'm flying on my own, so I really need to write down my plan for tomorrow. I'm going to start back on Red with lites (lunas) and see how that goes for the next little while. I never did very well on Purple, so I'll wait to move to that until I'm really stalled.

    January 5th Red w/lites

    3P, 3S, 4V, 3F, 1D, 1Fa, 2L (Is that right?)

    Breakfast: toast with LF cheese, yogurt & blueberries (1S, 1P, 1D, 1F)
    Snack: Luna (1L)
    Lunch: Salad with chicken breast, almonds (2V, 1P, 1Fa)
    Snack: Apple (2F)
    Dinner: Chicken, 2/3c Basmati rice, broccoli (1P, 2S, 1V)
    Snack: Luna & melon
  • Angie,

    I am doing Red with Lites, and my book has 2.5 Protein, not 3, everything else matched you.

    Good Luck!
  • Thank you! It's been awhile...
  • Okay, I need to plan Sunday as well, it's my DS's 3rd bday and it could be rough if I don't plan ahead.

    Red no lites (decided not to bother with lites...3P,4V,4F,4S,1Fa,2D)

    Breakfast: Toast, 2 oz LF cheese, yogurt (1S, .5P, 1D)
    Snack: Watermelon (2F)
    Lunch: (will be at the movie theater) Popcorn & Water (2S, 1Fa)
    Snack: (actually lunch after the movie) Pizza & raw veggies (cc=1P, 2V)
    Dinner: Porkchop, salad (1.5P, 2V, 1F)
    Snack: Yogurt, Blueberries, 1/3 cup All bran (1D, 1F, 1S)

    Noooo cake. No cake. Nope, none... No cake.
  • Angie- The red plus plan on the old LAWL program is listed as this:
    3P,4V,4F,4S,1Fa,2D

    Ronlu said in another thread that he is on plan 4 which is like red1 but doesn't do lites and he gets3 1/2P,4V,4F,5S,2Fa,3D

    I would probably add a S,F,D,Fa to what you are eating. Try it out for a week and if it doesn't work, then tweak it until you get the right combo.
  • 1-4-08 plan 2 with lites

    B-cottage cheese, fresh pineapple, graham cracker (1/2P,F,S)

  • Well today 1/4/08 on the Blue Plan
    B 1/2 egg salad sandwich 1/2P (1 egg) 1S (45 cal Bread) 1F 1 tbsp mayo
    S 1/2 grapefruit
    L Slimdown choc. shake 1P 1S
    12 carrots 2V
    S 1 cup grapes 2F
    D Chicken Fajita 1P(4 oz chick) 1S (tortilla) 1V (lettuce)
    So I had 2.5 Protein 3 Starch 3 Vegetables 3 Fruit 1 Fat

    I generally follow this plan through out the week with fruit and veg. variation. Then on weekend I will not have the slimdown and will replace with eggs or beef but then I don't have egg salad in morning I may eat 1/2 Reduced Fat PB sandwich. I am not a huge beef eater and I don't eat seafood at all none of it to begin with and I am very picky eater so I never have alot of variation. It will be nice to see what other people are having to give some ideas. Good luck

    The shrimp scampi linguini was to die for, DH tried it with some skeptism and then told me that I could fix that once a week for him, so I guess he liked it too! It's so yummy, it feels like cheating.
