I was going to update my workout post from yesterday and saw a typo...I do NOT jog 2 miles before bodypump...I do 1 mile at ~11 min/mile pace just to warm up. And Sat mornings when my workouts aren't followed by a full meal I actually have an unrestricted 2 egg white recipe (typically crispy cereal pancakes or pudding waffles). I do a 2 mile slow walk on non weightlifting days.
Quote:
I do 4 packets a day - only ONE of which is restricted, which I have ~30-45 minutes before I workout. I also have an unrestricted soon after I workout as well. My coach advised me to split the restricted and do 1/2 before and 1/2 after, but honestly - I get hungry and found that I needed to time my packets.
I do Bodypump 3x/week now (Tue&Thur@6:30-7:30pm and Sat@8:30-9:30am) along with the light ONE mile jog warmup cardio beforehand. I do a lower weight than what I did previously, ~25% less (but I took an 8 week break), basically I just make sure to keep the intensity/weight light enough where I'm not huffing, puffing, drenched in sweat like I was before. And the jogging is new, but I do that slow enough where I barely break a sweat and can easily breath (almost more of a faster walk). I still do the <2mile walk on the other days of the week, but that is leisure pace and I don't add a 4th packet those days.
FYI on my normal & workout eating schedule (approximate):
Normal: Breakfast@8am, Lunch@12pm, Snack@4pm, Dinner@8pm
Tue&Thu:Breakfast@8am, Lunch@12pm, Snack@4pm, Restricted@5:30pm, Workout@6:15-7:30pm, Dinner@8pm
Sat: Restricted@7:30am, Workout@8:15-9:30am, Snack w/2 egg whites@10am, Lunch@12pm, Dinner@4pm, Snack@8pm

I am right there with you. I probably brought you something through the mail! Let's reboot together!

my clinic tells us a maximum of 4 packets a day.. i see alot of you use it in recipes, which is cool, but i don't dare use it in anything but my tea and coffee!
also, they said that for each serving of walden farms i use, i have to subtract one splenda packet from my daily allowance...
anyone else's clinic say the same?
My clinic limits us to 6 servings of "extras" a day. The WF is sucralose (Splenda) based, so it makes sense they all count the same. FYI, Splenda has ~4cals/~.9g carbs per packet, so it's not truly "free", just meets FDA guidelines to me called 0/0/0.
