Watermelon, and lots of it. I'll go with the glycemic load on that one instead of the glycemic index.
And, I'll agree with the corn. Now, I'll have 1/2 of an ear instead of a whole one (or more!!). |
When in Rome....
I have temporarily "relocated" this summer. I moved in with my elderly father so I could help him get his life back on track after my Mom having had major medical setbacks for the past six months.
It is not so much a matter of allowing "sins" as realizing that if you can't follow the food plan 100% than do the best that you can. I have increased my physical activity though since I have been here and that has helped with the weight lose and food cravings. Stress has the added bonus of reducing my appetite overall. I try to avoid all desserts though. If I do I have a bite or two from someone else's. I have had movie popcorn on my birthday, yes with that awful buttery stuff they put on it. I felt like I had died and gone to Hog Heaven. I have really tried to avoid almost all starches this summer and concentrated on lean protein and whole fruit for my "sweet tooth". PS I forgot---I had real birthday cake on my birthday. Luckily for me, everyone jumped right in and it was all gone within 12 hours so I didn't have to worry about leftovers!;) |
Full fat cheeses, I use mostly sharp/intense flavors and use less of them.
When on phase 2, I eat any/all fresh fruits-including the off limits watermelon, usually 2-3 servings of fruit a day. I have eaten fresh corn three times this summer. I occasionally use fresh or frozen corn in cooking. I eat regular bacon, but usually 1-2 slices per week max. I use regular butter on occasion. |
suuuuuuuuuuuuuushi...I just can't part with it. 90% of the time I get it with brown rice. I have it maybe twice a month. I had it for lunch today, but the place I went to didn't offer brown rice. I had it with white rice. Now I feel gross.

I have only 2 cups coffee/day, but they are BIG cups. :D
I have my once a year doughnuts and sushi dinner, as I mentioned in the other thread. Other than that, I go with the corn on the cob and watermelon too. I don't have much, but summer just isn't summer without it. Otherwise, I don't really eat anything off plan regularly, but on occasion tend to overdo with the limited on plan things (fudgesicles!). |
Way too much caffeine and the occasional Kashi product. They are pretty healthy, even if they are not 100% SB.
