Hi Ruth,
I am new here. I'm on day 3 of phase I. I feel good if I eat enough beans, otherwise I get a headache. Chick peas are saving me - I ate a whole can of them yesterday! And the ... uh ... "repercussions" of doing that have not been too bad.
My first goal is to break 200. I really really want that number to go away!
I was on p1 last week but it was not possible to get enough calories/nutrients for nursing (I only nurse part time but my supply dipped by about five ounces). I did lose 3lb last week. I want to lose 2lb this week. I have added back a little bit of fruit (I had 3 strawberries and a handful of blueberries with my mock french toasts this morning, and about 1/4 apple with my lunch) as I really don't care for bread, at all. Cereal is my big weakness so I have a box of All-Bran in there and I might eat a bowl of that in the evenings if I feel I need even more carbs.
Overall I feel pretty good. Still having some trouble sleeping but it's not as bad as a week ago.
I'm back! I was off plan for a week (ugh) because of our anniversary, daughter's birthday and mother's day. I planned to be off for four days, but I had trouble getting started again. BUT, I'm back now, and starting over with Phase 1 as of today. Day 1, Phase 1. I'm going to try to post what I eat every day, too, because that seems to help me stick to it.
So today, this is my plan:
snack: string cheese
breakfast: beans with 2% cheddar cheese (I missed the veggies...I need to work on how to incorporate more veggies into breakfast...)
lunch: salad with shrimp and SB ranch dressing
snack: steamed green beans with a little bit of Smart Balance on them
dinner: grilled salmon with green beans and broccoli
dessert: SF jello and/or SF popcicle
Hi all! I'm on my 2nd week of P2 but I figure I can post here as well.
Is anyone else having trouble eating all that you need? I just CANNOT eat! Maybe it's all the water and fiber, but I feel really sick after I eat snacks. I don't want to eat just because of a timetable and would rather just eat when I'm hungry, but that means I don't eat for hours after I wake up (and since I'm a college student on a short break between school and internship, I already don't wake up til at least 11) and only have two small meals and no snacks. What gives?
It's strange because I made a big batch of palak paneer that might have been one long bingefest before I started this diet, but now that I take the time to eat slowly and only until my hunger is filled, it took up about 5 meals! Anyone else having this problem?
This is my first day and the first time with SB. I am getting married in a few months, and want to drop about 20 pounds. I need all the support I can get....I have been struggling for a long time!
Welcome healthy4good, you have come to the right place. I will be done with p1 on thursday, but after spending memorial weekend away from home for dd graduation, open house and a family get together, will probably be right back on p1 on tuesday!
Everyone here is very helpful and supportive, make yourself at home, and enjoy the ride!
