Question: Oat and rice milk...phase what appropriate?

Food for thought, Zeff.

My guess would be that they are both Phase 2 since they are grains, but I'm not really sure.

Zeff and I chatted a little about that last night. I'm not sure either, but I'm sure they are both very high GI so am guessing very limited Phase 2 at best. I suspect they are closer to the fruit juice issue - even though they are made from allowed foods the change in delivery changes the impact on blood sugar

Phase 2

B. overnight apple cinnamon oats in US almond milk and chia
L. last bit of lentil & tomato soup and a big veggie salad with avocado, feta and roasted chickpeas
S. Greek yogurt
D. caramelized shaved brussels sprouts & butternut squash
S. NSA fudgesicle

I'm going to test how the rice milk affects me. I added fiber and protein to my smoothie this morning, so maybe the impact won't be that much.

1: smoothie (1/2 c. rice milk, psyllium husk fiber, vega chocolate protein, 3 frozen strawberries, spinach)
2: asian veggie slaw
3: protein ball
4: spicy african peanut stew (has lots of veggies)
5: greek yogurt

exercise: 60 min. body pump, 45 min. treadmill

Feeling like the odd-chick-out posting in here because almost everyone seems to be sort of veggie. I'm afraid I'm one of the few meat eaters in this thread but here goes ...

Phase II -
B. Greek ypgurt, Fibre1 and blueberries
L. at upscale restaurant where I'm hoping to order a chicken breast, salad and some other veggie (No menu posted online as "it changes with what the chef decides to cook")
D. 2 egg omelet with mushrooms and cheese, salad

phase 2

b - fibre one and half a banana
l - greek salad
s - orange and yogourt (can you see I buy my oranges at Costco so there is a lot to go thru
s - pork loin, (meat eater here too), roasted veggies and maybe a salad
s - lf cheese

walk the mall

Update on the rice milk. I haven't noticed much of a difference between when I use that or when I use almond milk. I won't make it a habit of using it, but I was just looking for something different. Not sure I want to drink it straight (it's SWEET!) because I think then it might cause cravings.

phase 2

b - oatmeal with ground flax and almond milk
l - salad with chicken breast
s - yogourt and orange
s - pecan encrusted trout with roasted veggies
