Hey all, I am baaaaaaack.
I thought we should not post the photos but hang them on our fridges so to see the progress :)
For LLama -- I eat at 9, 12, 3 and 6 o'clock. It works better for me to make a schedule that way. Otherwise I would forget to eat and then it's too late at night to eat, ya know?
Gabesmommy - I started off with way too much food. At least according to what they say you should take in. When it comes to the deli meats, I eat maybe 3 slices of lean ham, I found a really good one finally. And cheese, I don't buy the slices, which probably have less fat than the cheeses I like. Drunken Goat is my favorite right now and half a wedge is enough for me.
Also, don't forget that you don't have to eat all of the foods suggested in one meal. You can choose one only if you like. For instance, I don't like milk, I don't use that part of the meal at all, but sometimes I substitute a tiny bit of cheese for a glass of milk.
Seems to me it's almost the same thing, right?
So, to make a long story short, I have altered the foods a little, but not what they are.
Animal protein I exchange for animal protein.
If I can't find Apricots (carbs) today, I'll get peaches or plums...
I drink a lot of peppermint tea and green tea. I am not a water fan, but I can drink sparkling water. I can manage to drink a liter bottle of that with some lemon.
I don't understand why mustard is not on that menu. I have used Grey Poupon, I need that on any meats I eat without bread. There are no carbs in that mustard, so I think it's alright.
What you have to look at is the distribution of carbs to proteins.
I use powdered creamer in my coffee. I don't care if it is allowed or not. I am thinking that what we're doing now is eating less and loosing weight, what can it hurt to use a little something forbidden or not mentioned.
A tiny bit of milk in your coffee cannot hurt. Frau Dopey has spoken!
Chicken breast sliced would be perfect. Lean steak/London broil sliced would be perfect if you don't like deli meats. I have found a good brand. Kretchmar off the bone. All natural, great flavor.
Make sure, no matter what you do to avoid chocolat. Yes, I said it. It pains me.
Oh, the salt thing....
I eat a lot of salt so for me those meats are just right.
In the last few years I have felt so bloated and full of water but I never gave that a second thought until I started this diet and from day one, I felt different. More dried out if you get my drift. Suddenly my fingers were normal size again.
Limsy, I don't even know why you are doing this, you certainly don't need to loose weight
