I'm 100% with Karen!! She knows of what she speaks and we all know of where she comes from...obesity!
Here is a sample of my menu yesterday...
meal 1 -- 1/2c dry oatmeal, 1/2 c. milk, whey protein powder in a mix of water and milk, (today instead of the whey I had 1 egg with 1/2c egg whites)
meal 2 -- 1/2c cottage cheese, 1/2c rasp. FF yogurt, 10 frozen strawberries
meal 3 -- 4 oz steak, 1/2 rice (this was left over white rice I usually eat brown rice) stir fry vegies ... everything was a left over from the night before...
meal 4 -- apple and whey powder
meal 5 -- 6 oz salmon (this is a little too much but it was yummy grilled on the BBQ) with fresh cauliflower, carrots, celery and a Ranch dip, I dip it only a bit in the dressing
meal 6 -- whey powder drink made with half skim milk and water with ground flax (I love ground flax
it's good for the joints, the skin, and has a very nutty taste...)
