You mean someone beat me to the Thin Commandments too! I can't come up with anything original! You'll have to tell me about that book and whether or not it's worth reading. I ordered The Perfect Fit Diet I think it's called.
I already have the other two. George Stella's cookbook is without a doubt the best low carb cookbook I have. However, he uses a lot of soy flour in his baked goods which gives them a nice texture but a lot of people don't like the taste of soy flour. Fat flush is an interesting read. She is another "toxic chemical" **** like Dr. Schwarzbein. She is also clearly writing to a female audience. Actually you might want to try her 2 week induction plan. It might get your scale to move. It's a VERY structured plan. I think I went over it when momX3 was considering various low carb plans.
lmao .. i saw this infomercial about colon cleansers and it scared me half to death.. im sure it wasnt true but they said u could have up to 40 pounds of gunk stuck in your intestines.. and ya need to flush them out every now and then... ??
Petra~ Thanks, it's really good to be back. I agree with you it's probably more geard for other lifestyle changes, however the more I read it, the more I could actually see my past and present thinking (all except the final stage)...
Val~ As you can see we are not the same weight anymore but I'll be catching up again soon.... It was a very uplifting meeting tonight. 19 ladies this time! Almost double the usual amount hahaha...
Curly~ rofl.. you and Petra are the diet book gurus for sure!! I'm really glad we have you! I've been hearing about the cinnamon thing for a while now. Several companies are marketing supplements based on the cinnamon & blood sugar, diabetes and also cholesterol benefits... and have cited actual clinical studies to back them. I wish I could give more info, if I find any of it at work I'll post it.
Tomorrow is a new day, and a new start!!!! I'm gonna keep at this til I get it right!!!!!!!!
WAAAAA!!!!.....I just missed the first hour of Biggest Loser!!!..... I checked the tv guide and it listed it to start at 8pm....WAAAA!!!!
Just popping in.....CONGRATULATIONS TO THE LOSERS THIS WEEK!!! and me too!!!.....I lost another 2 lbs!!! WOOHOOO. I endulged a bit more with all the extra foods and sweets I had in the house with my inlaws visiting, but I guess I must have balanced it out ...(somehow) They fly out in the morning and I can't wait to empty the fridge of all the extra stuff and get my house back to normal!!!
I have yet to catch up on all the posts, but I will!!! Nice to see the thread so busy!!!!
I just packed my lunch for the day, and I'm proud to admit to tasting one of the cookies I bought for my girls. I had one bite and it wasn't even good so I tossed the rest of it. Yes, Gwena the chocoholic didn't finish a cookie.
Well I survived my first day as a Protein Power girl....with the exception of a carb withdrawal headache
Just finished dinner and my totals for the day were 38 g carbs and 147 g protein. Pretty good my first day, if I do say so myself
Jennie - so good to see you again. As always you have jumped right back into the swing of things !!
Petra - any good recipe web sites or books that you can recommend ?
Any of you planning on watching the Biggest Loser special on tomorrow night?
Well I better hit the books before it gets too late.
Hope you all have a great evening !
Ok how the heck do you keep track of protein I lost about 30 pounds about 4 1/2 years ago before I had my DS but I never counted just ate strickly grilled chicken, pork or turkey and ate either broccoli or cauliflower any suggestions???
Mommy if you use a computerized food log like fitday or dietpower it will automatically track your macronutrients for you (carbs, fat, and protein). Fitday has a free online version that you can use. There are more ways to lose weight than can be explained in a short post here so maybe you should specify what it is you are interested in trying or not trying again and we could give you some suggestions. What you did before sounds awfully repetitive and difficult to maintain for a lifetime. BTW, I'm a big fan of the New Orleans area so I know where you are
i went to medical school for medical assistants and they told me that you really do have at least 40 pounds of gunk in your intestines and and stuff making you unhealthy too,i would love to have the cleansing done,,just sounds embarrissing to me
You'll have to tell me about that book and whether or not it's worth reading. I ordered The Perfect Fit Diet I think it's called.
but I'll be catching up again soon.... It was a very uplifting meeting tonight. 19 ladies this time! Almost double the usual amount hahaha...
