Oh, how I miss miss miss my greek plain 0!! My breakfast of choice? 1 cup fage 0 + 1 cup frozen berries + coffee. Its like 23 grams protein, 0 fat, 8 grams of fiber. We do whole grain and I try to limit sugars but am not the best. Because of the cost of the greek yogurt, I have lately done the the Organic Yogurt Tubes - they still have higher sugar than I would like. I was making my own fat free crock pot yogurt then adding blended fruit and sweetening with agave for them, but since I cannot taste the batches and tweak I found it too hard on this diet right now.Originally Posted by cherbee82
Coliep - have you ever looked at the eat clean diet? From some of your posts - it seems like you generally eat well, are you serving your kids clean eats? Greek 0% yogurt instead of the more sugary kind? Wheat products? Maybe if you're preparing clean eats any of your slip ups might not be "toooo bad" and it would be good because when you transition of IP you'll be eating clean and able to keep it off?Just a thought - and I get the fact that regardless of how much you have to lose, constantly feeling like you want to lose and just aren't, or you're promising yourself you will and not ... it's just quite a toll.

While I do give my kids some of the less clean foods also, I am not tempted enough to cheat with them. It is the dang peanut butter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, the homemade blueberry gelato I made from scratch for my baby's first birthday, that I had to of course see was palatable. I love blueberries, I love ice cream. That was a deadly, deadly combo! I won't make another batch until I am done with IP. Any special treats like that will be given my our babysitter or DH, at least now that the birthday is over. I am learning little things, like always use silverware instead of my hands when I can so I don't get sucked in. But I will give some thought to other triggers though that may be setting me up . . . that is a great thought! Yes, I picked up another box of the peanut butter bars. My WF PB is also here and I will play with making that edible!
