Hi! I'm Shannon. I'm 26, I work nights and have lost about 30 pounds using IF and calorie counting. But lately I've felt like I could be doing something different that could help me out more. Plus I have been creeping up on the sugary, empty calories lately.
I just read the first book and I read gluten solution last year. I like the layout of the gluten solution good foods but I am not sure about the details from the regular version. Is it mostly the same? Maybe the original book is a first printing (I got it from a second hand store). If I am not following gluten solution version, can I have teriyaki sauce? I found this healthy stir fry that I love that uses teriyaki that could be phase 1 okay and the original book I have doesn't talk about teriyaki/soy sauces. In gluten solution, teriyaki is a no-no (and I currently cannot find a g free version).
Another question I have is coffee creamer. I primarily use natural bliss (INGREDIENTS: NONFAT MILK, HEAVY CREAM, SUGAR, NATURAL FLAVOR CONTAINS MILK.). Is this okay? Neither book really explains what I can put into the coffee other than sugar substitute. What are other SBD friendly options?
I live alone. A lot of the recipes serve multiples. It just makes it daunting to think what to make that's more than salad salad salad or go to waste. Are most the snacks basically protein + veggies? Does hummus count as a healthy fat? I'm kinda daunted on how to include the healthy fats. I don't like most condiments like mayo.
