Reason: can't add
You’re either OP or not, right?? I’m trying to rationalize here!!!
Tuesday’s Meals
FF Cheese Omelet, Oats 263
Cabbage, Grilled Chicken, Green Beans, Almond Ricotta Crème 318
Caesar Salad with Roasted Trout, NSA/FF frozen yogurt with pecans, Almond Ricotta Crème 718
Total: 1299
Walking: 170
Water: 72 oz
Sounds good huh…..up until the frozen yogurt, which added 16 extra carbs than I had allotted for, but I skipped a planned bowl of oats in the afternoon, b/c I wasn’t at home to eat. However, TOMs cRAVEN bird is around and during a movie last night—which I typically don’t participate in watching—I was sooo munchie!!
I ate 2/3 cup of sf jello and a handful of cucumber slices, 4 carrot chips and 2 T Hummus!!
Not to bad with cRAVEN, but I wish I had just gone to bed!
Krystal, just to clarify things here, you are not allowed oats on Phase 1. And, remember, we don't count carbs on SBD, either.
Yep, I know. But I have been on P1 for 3 weeks (except Sat/Sun). I tried to play tennis last week and couldn't complete 15 min b/c of dizziness/weakness. I had only taken in 27 net carbs for the day. I also had a little SBD "flu" and was getting over an infection. So, this week, I added oats (trying 4 2x/day, but not succeeding) to increase my energy level so that I can run. I have to have carbs to run and if I want to lose these last 11 lbs, I have to run. soooooo that's why I asked if I were in P1.5
Phase 1.5 is just a term that we created for our induction into Phase 2, and isn't included in the book. It's the period where we are slowly introducing back a fruit or a starch into our diet to see if it's a trigger food. Each one of us has a different reaction to certain foods, and what may set off cravings for one may not affect you at all. It's a period of experimentation.
Ok thanks, I was hoping for some more substantial guidelines. I'm scared to add the fruit and grains back in but I guess the only way I'll figure it out is through trial and error.
B: Baked Egg with Cheddar Cheese Slice and Sauteed Veggies
S: Veggies and Hummus
L: Cottage cheese and cherry tomatoes
D: Chicken and Cashew Veggie Stir Fry
I won't be having a second snack today since I ate more than I should have of the stir fry.
P1D11! Woohoo! Only 3 more days to go! (I miscalculated and lost track of what day it was yesterday, and was a day behind)
B. egg casserole
S. greek yogurt w/chia & sf vanilla syrup
L. salad w/roasted chickpeas, avocado & feta
S. cucumber & pepper spears w/hummus
D. probably Swiss chard & white bean gratin

Teaching a kickboxing class this morning, so I'm taking a phase 2 breakfast for a little extra energy. It is my first high intensity class, and I've been nervous about it all day yesterday (read: lots of gastrointestinal distress....ick). I'm feeling sort of dehydrated today and know that I am going to need a little something.
1: (P2) Dr. Oz's belly fat blasting smoothie (US almond milk, 1/2 banana, 1/3 c. frozen berries, psyllium husk fiber, flax, vanilla protein, stevia, spinach)
2: beans and greens? such a dreary day...a salad doesn't sound tempting
3: cottage cheese w/ cinnamon
4: grilled jerk chicken, zucchini
exercise: 60 min. kickboxing accumulator class (wish me luck!)
B: Ricotta-Yogurt Mix with Vanilla Extract, Cinnamon and Cocoa Powder
S: String Cheese
L: Salad with Hummus and Hard Boiled Eggs
S: Pistachios
D: Turkey Taco Salad with Avocado
Two days in a row now I saved my second snack for after dinner and ended up eating too much at dinner. I really need to eat something between lunch and dinner to avoid this.
Nat4Crim, here's a very specific guide to Phase 1.5: introduce either one small fruit serving or one small grain serving to your day, at any meal, but do have it at a meal where there is some fat (which will slow it's absorption). Make note of any reactions you may have like cravings, additional physical hunger etc. If you notice anything, you will recognize that food as a trigger food and probably not something you want to have in your diet on a regular basis. If no cravings, keep the food and move on the following week and add one small serving of the other (i.e. grain or fruit). So after 3 weeks on phase 1.5 you will be having 3 servings a day of fruit/grain. Regular Phase 2 allows you to add in a serving of fruit and a serving of grain right away.
OK - whew - because of TOM (today will be the worst day of it, I know) and eating too much yummy on plan foods I'm extending Phase 1 until the end of Thursday for myself.
Today:
B: scrambed eggs, ls v8
S: 15 almonds
L: lentil soup
S: nf greek yogurt
D: steak and salad
P1D11 for me. I don't have a plan for supper tonight, but I'll think on it throughout the day and come up with something yummy.
Edited to change my lunch and add my supper menu.
B. the last of the breakfast casserole
S. greek yogurt w/chia and sf amaretto syrup
L. red & yellow pepper and cucumber sticks w/hummus
S. chocolate cheesecake smoothie
D. beans & greens

Twynn - um...it went ok, I suppose. i didn't know what my music was going to be, so when i found out, it was way faster than what I had planned on. My cueing was off and the class got kind of lost because of that + the faster music. Lots of positive feedback, though. Just glad the first class jitters are gone, though. I guess it can only get better from here I had a cathartic cry after and a beer with lunch and things started looking up
Cottage - thanks!
--
1: plain ff yogurt w/ cinnamon and stevia
2: weekend glow salad (kale, spinach + lots of veggies + hummus dressing)
3: repeat of lunch (smaller portion)
4: grilled salmon, wilted spinach, garlicky white bean puree
exercise: 60 min. strength training, cleaning and cooking like a mad woman trying to get ready for DS1's party tomorrow.
Hi Ladies Happy Friday to you all.
I am still hanging in this week on P1.5 with only my oats as scheduled.
I played tennis for an hour yest. then power walked for another 45 min. after that.
I did not get dizzy, weak, or the hypoglycemic-feeling at all.
Mmckellen: Thanks for starting this thread, great job staying OP for almost 2 weeks. Sending you some extra to continue until Thursday
Happy Friday to you all.
to continue until Thursday
