  2. Oh and one other thing...I plan on getting off the coffee...but have to do it gradually..been addicted for sooo long!

  3. Marylee, Hi girl, Listen what you need to do is pack 3 of the 9.5oz tupperware containers with protein, 2 containers with complex carbs (on the list of allowed foods) Unlimited amounts of vegetables in the containers. As far as fats you will be allowed about 55 grams per day. You have to count this yourself. I will give you any suggestions or you can follow exactly what I did.

    You are not eating enough and not the correct ratios. You had no fat or protein or complex carbs up to 12. Can you tolerate protein shakes. If you don't like cooking in the morning that is a nice alternative.Read my blog above yours. Notice I try to eat every 3 hours. It will keep you more consistant. You must have your meals prepared ahead of time in the fridge. I cooked for three hours last night. Protein, complex carbs and veggies are all in containers on separate shelves in the fridge. This way in the morning i will pull out my 4 proteins, 2 carbs and veggies. They all go in a cooler that i take to work. I incorporate fats in the form of low fat saflower mayo, almond butter (in my shake in the morning). I count these closely because they are so high in calories.

    I promise you that you will get the hang of this. Preparation is key.Don't try to figure out what you're going to eat throughout the day. Know the night before.

  4. This is what I ate so far:

    7:30 Banana
    9:30 Whole hard boiled egg and 1 egg white from another hard boiled egg
    Cup of Black coffee
    11:30 red peepers
    2:30 Homemade Mushroom Barley Soup
    I plan on having more veggies when I get home and for dinner sauteed spinach and grilled chicken

  5. The coffee is not that big of a concern. It's what you put in it. I cannot drink coffee without cream so I switched to unsweetened iced tea with lemon wedges. Green tea or white tea would be the best alternative.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I had the coffee black with 2 packets of Splenda. Is the sweetner OK?

    ReplyDelete
  7. Lina, Please read what I wrote to Marylee. You have to follow the plan better. Also, look at my nutrition for the day so far. You haven't had enough fat or protein and hardly any complex carbs. In fact only complex carb came from the little bit of barley in the soup.

    Remember 3 full containers of protein, 2full containers of complex carbs, 50g of fats and all the veggies you want every day.

  8. As far as artificial sweeteners. Don't use them they cause cancer. We want you to be healthy inside and out.

  9. Jody I like protein shakes, but can't drink them without the organic skim milk. Right now when I make them, I ususally put 6 oz organic skim and greens first with a handful of walnuts in them. I know the milk is a no no, but can I wean myself off that as well by diluting them with water? Are the walnuts ok in the shakes? I like the added flavor/crunch in them. Is this something I can have at night, or after my fruit in the morning? Just trying to sort through all the info to get on the right track. P.S. we need to do the bathing suit photo this week :(

    ReplyDelete
  10. I felt the same way about protein shakes with milk. I prefer with water now. I would like to say wean yourself off but I'm going to say don't do it. You can put walnuts in but you must count them. Ten halves is probably around 15g of fat. You can put your fruit right into the shake in the morning. If you want you can have the shake and walnuts at night. Considering you haven't already had your limit of fats during the day.

    I realize you weren't at the meeting so there's a lot of things you don't understand. We will get you a dvd of the seminar as soon as possible.

    Let me know your availability this week for photo.

  11. Jody:

    I prepared my little containers last night, and brought everything to the city with me. It was not a pleasant experience to be in a formal meeting with a client and a food presentation from a chef and then I whip out my weird little containers of broccoli and chicken. I didn't drink enough water today and it's already 6:15 p.m. I think I f'd up today! Here is what I ate today. Rolled oats with 6 blackberries at 7:45 a.m., 11:30 a.m. brocolli and cauliflower raw, 1:30 chicken, sipped some water throughout, but not really enough, 4:00 p.m. bison meat, dinner will be turkey, salad, veggies. I know this is not enough food. This is always where I get stuck. It is really hard when I'm on the road on a venue search to be in a professional meeting with those containers. Ugh!!!!! I did a before pic with my son's camera. Carrie

    ReplyDelete
  12. At least you realize that you f---ed up today. Not enough food, you're right. You must have 3 full containers of protein 2 full containers of carbs(finished before 6) and 45-55g of fat. All the veggies you want. Eat when you can just get it all in! Eat in your damn car if you have to. This program works. You saw Tom's and my results. Check out what I ate today.

  16. ok got it. but when you say just the carbs before six do you mean that i can't have salad now with dinner? i'm sorry to be so dense, but this is where i always get lost. i stand in my kitchen which is completely stocked with the shopping list and i don't know what to do next. am i thick or what? ask me to design an empty room, and i'll rock it out, ask me for an elvis impersenator or a stripper and you'll feel like you're in vegas...ask me what to eat and i'm lost. is there any way that you can take the shopping list and incorporate it into a combination of sample days meals with the times of day that we should eat, that the women can print out and have a day one, day two etc guideline instead of searching the list. i am completely lost on what to choose when. i have been doing this for a month getting ready for that picture and i gained four pounds in that time. which is not about the scale, but i don't look good. so, unlike the rest of the group i've been following this concept for a while. it would help me greatly if i had a meal plan something exactly to follow. i find that i end up not eating enough. if i just had an exact daily menu it would help..love, me

    ReplyDelete
  17. Jan, you are done with your protein for the day. Maybe you should spread out the containers a bit more.You also, only had one container of complex carbs. Fats are done for the day too. This is what I don't want to happen. It's only 6 and you are finished for the day. Now you are going to be hungry. Spread your protein out more and make sure you are getting all your complex carbs in before 6. I understand your shake has a lot of carbs in it. We should try to find a better one to suit you.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Good Cristina, I am not allowing dairy for anyone else. You are an exception because of our past nutrition endeavor.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Carrie, first of all you are not dense. if it was so easy there wouldn't have been a room full of people on Sunday.

    This journey is not only about losing weight. It's about discipline, personal growth and learning how to eat for maximum health. If i give you a menu everyday you will never learn to make the right descisions on your own. We are all in this together. Look at other peoples meals to get ideas. Follow my previous days journal entry. Your tastes are different then mine.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Carrie, clear out a shelf in the fridge just for you. Make three rows protein, complex carbs, raw or steamed veggies. You can also put almonds in small baggies. 22 each bag approx. 16 grams of fat. When you leave each day grab 3 proteins 2 carbs and 3 veggies. Fats you really have to measure yourself. Around 50g per day. Check my fat intake for today.

    Protein is easy chicken, fish, canned tuna fish, hard boiled eggs, turkey burgers.Just about any meat you can think of besides ham.

    Complex carbs, brown rice, yams, sweet potatoes, oatmeal,

    fats almonds, walnuts, almond or peanut butter, saflower mayo, yolk from egg, olive oil, avacado
    all measured carefully

    Eat veggies any time of the day. so salad for dinner is fine. tomatoes are a fruit.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Stop thinking so hard. It really is as easy as it sounds.Remember every week you get a cheat meal.

    ReplyDelete
  22. ok. that helps. for some reason, i had it in my head that broccoli is a carb, i don't know where i got that from. i guess i'm overthinking. i was overthinking each little thing in the salad...like is this red pepper count as something? ok, now it's more clear. duh! have a good night everyone!

  23. Nina

    7:50am Oatmeal (cinnamon, sugar, salt)
    10am Protein Shake (Labrada Lean Body for Her Pack - Strawberry Flavor)
    12pm Apple
    1:15pm Chicken Sandwich (chicken breast cut up, 2 tsp olive oil, 2 slices ezekiel bread, safflower mayo, half tomato) + Glass of green tea
    4:50pm About 20 salted cashews
    7:30pm Homemade Buffalo Burger (burger, provolone, half tomato)

    I have to say that protein shake with water is not that bad, I have been trying to switch from milk for a while, now oatmeal with water is just blah! I ate it but did not savor it. I know it was the first time, hopefully I’ll get used to it.
    Tomorrow I am trying ostrich meat for dinner, can’t wait

    ReplyDelete
  24. Hi Jody this is what I had for today
    8:30 2 eggs and 1 slice of Ezekiel bread
    green tea
    10:30 1 cup of strawberries
    12:30 1 container of rotisserie chicken breast no skin and cucumber
    water water
    3:00 fage yogurt 2%
    green tea
    7:00 1 container of turkey cutlets (baked), 2 table spoons of cooked buckwheat (kasha), steamed broccoli, salad with greens, cucumber and red wine vinegar
    green tea
    This is probablly not enough carbs but this is all I could do for today.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ok guys day one is coming to a close. Here are a few negative things that i see going on;

    not getting enough protein 3 full containers
    not getting enough complex carbs 2 full containers
    eating dairy not on the plan
    eating fruit any other time of the day but morning
    eating complex carbs after 6
    Lack of planning your meals you must know the night before what you will be eating the next day
    finishing up your food intake too early. try to spread out the containers throughout the day so you don't finish early and feel hungry.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I know you guys are really trying. I applaud you for your hard work. You will only get better as the days go on.

    Have a great night. Talk to you tomorrow.

  27. Maryann, I said there would be no drinking on this plan.

  30. Well, here it is:

    7:30am: 4 egg whites with blanched spinach (no oil) & tobasco

    9:30am: 1 serving of oatmeal (about 6oz - my 1st carb container)w/1/4 scoop of vanilla protein powder and 3 medium strawberries

    12:30pm: 1 container chicken (recipe I discussed), no more than 2 tbl spoons natural pb in container. 1 container of bok choy, peppers and onions steamed with ginger, soy and garlic and one container of brown rice.

    3:00pm: bag of cucumbers and hand full of organic pumpkin seeds

    5:00pm: 1/2 of small banana and 1 tbl spoon of natural pb.

    8:00pm: 3rd protein container of tuna steak baked with salt and pepper on a spinach and field green salad with some edamame beans, balsamic vinegar and 1 tbl spoon extra virgin olive oil.

    also had 2 cups of green tea and working on finishing up the 4th bottled water for the day.

    Right now... starving and sugar/chocolate demons are haunting me!!

    I am with Carrie... today was easier because I had no client meals, but, I am usually on the road or in client lunches/dinners... Most already mock me for my dorky cooler, so, I'm over that. Eating the food cold is sometimes gross... oh well. But, the client meetings are more difficult. I think that I will stick to plain salads for lunches and dinners and just eat my meals in the car before.

    Any suggestions for night time demons... please let me know.

  31. Maryann,

    Your fats are a bit low only around 32g and that's assuming you didn't use the low fat mayo. if you used the low fat mayo you probably consumed only 20g. You could also have another half of a container of complex carbs.Protein is low too. Should have 3 containers. Tuna was one full, protein shake was probably only 20g of protein and I am not sure how much chicken you ate for dinner.

    Each protein container has 66 grams of protein. So if you have a protein shake which is 20g you need to add another 46 somewhere else.

    Vegetables and water terrific

  32. JODY,

    LOL. MY PROTEIN SHAKE WAS MADE WITH COFFEE INSTEAD OF MILK OR WATER & 2GMS OF CARBS WITH SOME CHOCOLATE FAT MELTER AND ICE. DELICIOUS!! IM TRYING TO CUT OUT COFFEE.ANYWAY,
    SHOULD WE EAT THE SAME AMOUNT EVEN IF WE DO NOT WORKOUT THAT DAY?

    ReplyDelete
  33. PROTEIN SHAKE HAD 40GMS OF PROTEIN. I WAS AS NOT AS PREPARED AS I SHOULD HAVE BEEN. TOMORROW I HOPE TO DO BETTER. BTW THE BLOG IS VERY HELPFUL TO ME.

    ReplyDelete
  34. karen, looks pretty good. you went over your fat allowence by about 9 grams. 3 tablespoons of peanut butter, 48g and 1tbsp olive oil 16g totalling 64g. Try not to go over 55g. I would be happy with 45-55g per day.

    Are you actually hungry or are you craving sweets? You will get over that. I dont want anyone to feel hungry. You shouldn't.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Karen, I forgot to figure in the pumpkin seeds. Fat was definitely too high today.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Maryann, Take off from the gym on your cheat meal day. Use that day to recover.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Ella, You are right not enough complex carbs and you ate NO good fats. I know the calories scare you but this is the way to speed up your metabolism. 1200 calorie diets will take you only so far. This is all very healthy food nothing processed. Your body will thank you.Lots of raw or steamed veggies throughout the day. This will speed your metabolism up like crazy.

  38. 8:00 Bananna w/ Jasmine Green Tea
    10:00 Liquid Egg White w/ turkey sausage, onion and tsp FF cheese (yeah I know NO dairy)
    12:00 Ground Turkey with Peppers n Onion (sauteed in olive oil) w/ mashed sweet potatoe and a cup of Jasmine Green Tea
    2:30 1.5 cups of Spinach w/field of greens with Rasberry Vinagrett
    6:00 Salmon with Brussel Sprouts (cooked with Olive Oil)

    6 glasses of water.

    I know I am missing a carb.. I will have to figure out putting it into my diet. I typically don't eat carbs with the exception of oatmeal in the morning on occassion.

    ReplyDelete
  39. oh and a Quart size freezer bag filled with cut up radishes, colored peppers and brocolli. Eaten throughout the day into the evening.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Nina, Your day was too low in protein,fat too high around 61g should be 55g. Where are your veggies, girl? Please, prepare your food and put into the containers. Its so much easier for you and me. 3 containers of protein per day 2 full containers of complex carbs per day no more than 55g of fat per day. Because you are a bad veggie eating girl I want you to pack 3 containers of raw veggies to eat throughout the day. No cheese, please. I don't want you to get your fats from saturated fat.

    Good fats nuts, almond or peanut butter, saflower mayo. Not dairy.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Good night! This time I mean it. If I missed anyone I will get you tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Oops! I went by the jar that said 2 tbsp were 18g of fat... to give me a total of 27g on pb, 14g on tbsp of olive oil, and 14g on 1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds.... 55 total. I'll cut back tomorrow. Thanks

    Have a good night everyone

    ReplyDelete
  45. ok.. just to be clear. It is total grams of a fat serving that we count, not grams of fat in the serving?

    So for nuts say... they are 20g of fat but 30g in a serving. you count the 30g?

    I really screwed up! no wonder my *ss is so big!

    ReplyDelete
  46. JODY,

    I MADE EGG SALAD WITH 6 EGGS AND IT FILLUP 2 CONTAINERS, 1 FOR ME & ONE FOR JOE. SO I FIGURED 3 EGGS A CONTAINER WHICH IS ONLY 21 GMS OF PROTEIN. MY OTHER 2 CONTAINERS OF PROTEIN WILL BE A 40GM PROTEIN SHAKE AND CONTAINER OF SHRIMP FOR DINNER. THAT ONLY BRINGS ME TO 127 GMS OF PROTEIN, IF I CALCULATE PER SERVING AND NOT BY CONYAINER. SHOULD I ADD MORE PROTEIN EVEN THOUGH I WILL CONSUME 3 CONTAINERS????

    ReplyDelete
  47. MAYBE I SHOULD DO 4 CONTAINERS?????

  51. Wegmans has restocked their 9.5 oz containers. 2 for $5.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Maryann... are you including the yolks??? If you are then you need to count them as fat as well. Better approach is to use only egg whites... you shuold be able to get 6 or 7 egg whites into the container. A liitle lite safflower mayo and you are good (just be sure to count the fat in the safflower mayo.... read the label).

    ReplyDelete
  53. Everyone please read this....

    Lollin - a great day. Night demons go away in time... a week for most if you are consistently perfect. Food will also taste better. As far as client meetings let me ask this: Would your client rather deal with you (a highly self-managed person who has goals and finds a way to be successful despite adversity) or your competition... who is most certainly exactly the opposite. I'll take the first person every time. Also, you can find plenty of excellent choices at restaurants. Get fish and don't be shy to tell the server how you want it prepared and get veggies instead of starches... be VERY specific to the server as to how you want it prepared. I got over this a long time ago... those of you that know me know I can't have a drink without falling off the bar stool. I don't need to validate my man-hood by out drinking my fellow man nor do I care what others think when it comes to what I want for myself. Bottom line is most people will be envious of your self control and success, so be their inspiration to make a change.

  56. All posts should now go under women day 2

    ReplyDelete
  57. Maryann, you need to consume an additional container of protein today. (day2)

    ReplyDelete
  58. Donna, You get an a+. Everyone should read your entry. Perfect day! One question? How many eggs are you getting in a container? Try for 7.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Lisa, What happened after 530 yesterday?

    ReplyDelete
  60. Remember Marylee, the protein shake only has 20g of protein the container we're using can fit around 66g. You will need to make that up somewhere. Maybe an additional half of a container of protein somewhere.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Lina, the lite saflower mayo is just as good as the other so buy the lite.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Check out Karen Lollin's and Donna's food entry both were right on yesterday. I miscalculated Karen's fat intake. I was all blogged out yesterday.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Val, try to get 7 egg whites in one container. You can put 2 egg yolks but consider that will be 12g of your 55 allowed fat for the day. Day looks good so far.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Believe it or not, I rarely eat after 6. I was literally stuffed after my dinner. Is this part of my problem? Should I force myself to eat a container of cucumber at 8:00?

    ReplyDelete
  65. Lisa It wouldn't hurt to eat the cucumber. Just make sure you are getting everything in and spreading it out throughout the day. You should never be eating a meal that "stuffs" you. It's very hard for the body to metabolize a big meal. Small meals spread out over time help to boots your metabolism.

  66. Tracy, are you putting your food into containers? It is hard for me to judge what your eating if you don't. You're right complex carbs were low, protein may be low but again I don't know how much you ate. Try to get over to Wegman's for the containers. Grab 3 protein, 3complex carb. 3 veggie from the fridge each day. Keep a tally of your fats, no more than55 grams.

  67. Containers were out but I had a 8 oz container and used that as a guide (overfilled of course to try and equal 9.5)

    3 complex carb I assume 1 is for my fruit.

  68. Jody,
    Hi Jody
    I'll probably add the extra protein later for my next meal or maybe after dinner if Im still hungry I'll make and egg white omelet. I feel satiated though, just still have a little sugar craving especially this time of day. My last meal was a container of grilled chicken, a container or barilla plus penne with home made pesto. That was around 2:30. Next meal should be about 5:30 with container of shrimp with container of brown rice.

  70. Lisa can you find a protein shake with lower carbs? You were a little high. Everything else looks right on. We sell one Dream Protein Its a little on the expensive side 40. It is one of the best on the market no artificial sweeteners. You can get another whey at wegman's or gnc. Just look for low carb at least 20g of protein.
