I'm not encouraging them, just answering a question :) That's why I just posted "protein shake."

Had a horrible night....the carb cravings were so severe..I had some smore makin's in the pantry for my litlle ones sleep over Wed. and got the stuff out....and put it back! I know carrots arent op for phase 1 but I ate
those and some ranch.....gotta be better than the 'smore 's....also craving beer too:)..I read a article about an athelete wo gained weight on purpose and then lost it again..he said the carb cravings were the worst thing he ever.. B;eggs/snx; red pepper and dip/lL;taco salad/D;zucchini lasagne

Ph 1.5

S: V-8
L: turkey cheese roll ups, cucumber and carrots with hummus
S: cottage cheese with s&p
D: brown rice pasta and red sauce
D: SF ice pop

Here's mine:

7/9 Ph 1 Day 4

Ph 1/Day 10

B: omelet mushrooms & spinach, coffee w/ milk 1%
L: salmon w/ salad & vinaigrette
S: walnuts, 2 laughing cow light
D: beef & green beans skillet
D: sugar free fudge bar, 2 tbsp peanut butter (went over nut allowance but I was craving!)

Looks like Phase 1:

B - Coffee with us almond milk. Protein shake* (the remains of my coffee, prob 1/2 a cup + 6 oz silken tofu + plain vanilla protein powder + 2 cups spinach + ~1 Tablespoon sf vanilla Torani syrup + ice) - it turned out to be gigantic!
L - Mixed greens salad with shrimp. Iced green tea.
S - Broccoli and orange pepper strips with hummus, Tofurkey & dill pickle roll ups
D - Poached tilapia. Riced cauliflower. Cucumber & yogurt & walnut salad.
dessert - Cocoa-roasted soy nuts :love:


* BTW - if I have to get a protein shake on the go, I use the Pure Protein kind; the ingredients list is *relatively* OK (first two ingredients are protein and flavoring). I don't consume these regularly but use them when the choices are limited - for example, I take these when camping.

I can relate to that! I ate some white bread and pretzels this weekend - OMG Monday and Tuesday were horrible with cravings. I binged (kind of) on two ridiculous junky items yesterday, like almost an entire day's calories on stupid non-nutritious crap. ARRRRRGH. Very annoying. So I just had minestrone soup last night for dinner and am back on Phase 1 today.

I find if I increase my protein for a couple of days the cravings go away more quickly, probably because I feel so "full".

Now to just remember that the "few bites" of white bread or whatever are SO NOT WORTH IT :D
