On Plan Thread - week of Oct. 4
 

It's October already, ladies!

It's time for a new week of talking On-Plan! This is the place for South Beach meal plan and food support, encouragement and questions.

Anyone, from any phase (1, 1.5, 2, 3, etc.) can post, and those who are new to 3FC are especially encouraged to do so!
This thread is for questions, sharing advice and strategies, and encouraging each other to stay on plan. It is not for chatting about daily life unrelated to this topic. Members have indicated that they would like to have chatting remain in the Daily Thread, so any posts that are off topic or chatty will be moved by the mods to the Daily.

Because people from different parts of the plan are posting here, it'll help everyone if you indicate what phase you're in when you post. Thanks!
While you may certainly find, from time to time, the need to ask for help after going off plan, remember that this thread is about staying on plan. When you share details of off plan foods you've eaten, it can upset, tempt, and otherwise frustrate other members, so please keep these details to a minimum.

So, share with us: How are you staying on plan this week?

Zeff when I go back to eating refined carbs hook me up with your cookie recipe

KO - it's really simple and pretty versatile. I used to make them with 1/4 c. old fashioned oats, half scoop protein powder, half banana and 1 tsp. almond butter (mash it all together, adding a bit of milk if necessary and then refrigerate overnight), but today I replaced the banana with pumpkin for a fall flavor. it was yummy! seems like a lot of different combinations available.
