Well, here we are day2. You guys are doing great. You've had some good questions. I saw some problems yesterday but I think you are getting the hang of it. Keep posting your food journals and any questions you have.
Peanut and almond butter are 16g of fat per 2 tablespoons full. I would really prefer you to use almond butter. Almonds are better for you.

Everyone please read blog entry that says observations. Will probably answer a lot of your questions.
ReplyDeleteHey Jodi,
ReplyDeleteI'm trying this again, because I wasn't too sucessful the other day when I tried to post. Anyway, thanks for the preview of the plan you gave me yesterday. I'm really psyched to be transformed!! It seems pretty easy, without having to do all that weighing and measuring. I definitely have a few questions, but I'm going to wait to start the plan until I see the video, get all the written information from you guys, and get weighed in, and then I will start. I'm kind of jealous though, knowing that most people have started. Also were you able to get those containers from your Wegmans? If so, put my name on a set. Thanks, Amy

Jan - because you are an addict... as many are. The feeling will go away, each day easier than the next. After a week pretty much GONE.
ReplyDeletejody - the last entry should be "PM" thats what ill have at night - and i also had a bunch of grapes at 2 as well as a plain salad

ReplyDeleteJan, Much much better today. You need another container of protein before the end of the day.Fats are on the low side. A tablespoon of almond butter is only 8g of fat 14g in the olive oil. You need to measure the nuts you have at the end of the day. Go on the website Tom gave you to check the fat content.
ReplyDeleteYou're addicted to sugar that's why you are grumpy and have cravings.
Jan, no fruit in the afternoon. One serving per day in the morning.
ReplyDeletejody if i didnt have the grapes (sugar) i was going to kill someone - i knew it was a nono-better than rice chips or GF pretzels right? im uber careful about fat thats why i always end up on the low side. ill have 25 almonds with my delicious evening snack along with some yummy eggs

ReplyDeleteJodi, I posted todays meals under day one by mistake. Could you look under there so I don't have to retype?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dopey!
Jody, I will start putting in 7 eggs per container, thanks. Sunday I have a wedding, so that will be my cheat meal, do I still try to get six meals in including my cheat meal? How much is a cheat meal--I am thinking this is buffet since I had no options for food.

marylee, when you say a container do you mean a whole container. If so your carbs are way too high. Lentils are a carb. They may have protein in them but much higher in carbs. So in our plan we consider them a carb. Only about 32g of fat. Protein looks good because barilla has a good amount of protein in it. Maybe have a tablespoon of almond or peanut butter before bed.
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you meant a half of a container when you said container.
jacqui, please have a dream protein shake with two scoops of protein and a tablespoon of almond butter before bed. Keep your fruits in the am only.Your protein and fats were low today. How do you feel?
ReplyDeleteAre you exercising?
Ella, good but you missed one container of carbs. Maybe you could put that almond butter in the morning on ezekial bread.
ReplyDeleteVal, nice job.
ReplyDeleteDonna, eat your meals throughout the day and eat whatever you want for dinner and dessert.
ReplyDeleteCris, rule of thumb only protein before bed. You can have two tablespoons of almond or peanut butter too. Fats a bit low today. Do you have protein powder. You could do a shake with the almond butter in it.

water all day!!! im a big water drinker. i feel very bloated and laaaarrrggee!! i usually eat a low carb diet. am i eventually going to go back after i blow up?? is that a stupid question???/lol
Jody,
ReplyDeleteI had a container of oats in the morning and container of sweet potato in the afternoon. Oats count for carbs right?
Jan, there should be no reason for you not to feeling well. Your meals look so good. You have enough carbs for energy and mood. You must stay positive or this will not work. You will get used to it. It isn't easy. If it were everyone would be doing it. Only the strongest will get through this program. I have faith in each and every one of you.
ReplyDeleteJody, I will try and spread out my food throughout the day but for the most part it takes me an hour to eat my food cause I eat while I work.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I am just now sitting down to dinner. Normally I don't eat this late but my kids had me running this evening and I felt compelled to finish my meals off for the day (instead of going to bed starving). Is their an issue with eating this late? Or would I of been better of with a protein shake? I know I dont like the feeling of going to bed full but other than that.....
And speaking of Protein shakes, I am new to them. I saw they have all these different flavors, is there pros or cons with the flavors.
Tracy, first of all congratulations. You did great today. What your doing with timing of meals is fine. You can eat your dinner now as long as it's vegetables, protein and fat. Sometimes i choose to do a protein shake at this hour. Flavors make no difference. Carbs do make a difference. Also, some have artificial sweeteners. The dream protein we sell is very good. It's more expensive then some of the others 40 per container. You cannot get it in stores only through doctors. It has steevia a natural sweetener.
ReplyDeleteMaryann, good day. Your carbs were a little low. Maybe you would feel less bloated if you did sweet potato instead or beans (lentils or chick peas). You may not do well with too much wheat. Your shake is whey as well, right?
ReplyDeleteYou really ate hardly any carbs today. You ate more food than your used to. The carbs will be lowered as we go along. Hang in there, girl. I feel bloated too!
Ella, sorry girl. You are right. You actually had a great day. Good Going!
ReplyDeletejust had 1 tsp of almond butter!!!!!! i forgot to add mayo (5.5g fat) with other 1/2 container of egg salad....
ReplyDeletemy shake is whey, should i switch?
ReplyDeleteMaryann, dont fret. You are still under 50g of fat. Good day just low on carbs. When we start taking them out as we near the competition you are going to be ripped. Don't worry we aren't going to make you guys get on stage. Unless you want to!
ReplyDeleteDo you get bloated from your shake? If you do you may be sensitive to whey. I drink dream protein. It's whey but i know myself if I have too much wheat I will get bloated.Dream protein seems to work for me. Doesn't have artificial sweeteners in it, which i like.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the questions but I want to make sure I get the hang of this. Scrambled eggs - how many egg whites equal 1 container. Typically I use Liquid egg whites, can I continue or switch? I usually use the liquid because I cook it in the micro at work for breakfast...
ReplyDeleteHey Jody! Day 2 for Lollin
ReplyDeletePretty much the same as day 1... little less fat.
6:30am: 4 egg whites, spinach and less than an teaspoon tabasco

1:00pm: 1/2 container chicken (got rid of most of pb this time... likely less that 1 tbsp.), container of bok choy, peppers and onions, 1/2 container organic basmati brown rice.

5:00pm: finished off bag of veggies

Much better spreading thinks out... 3:00 gets tough. Headache today, little sore throat. Hope this diet can kick some swine flu butt!
I know it's riduculous, but, worked out at 10 last night.. kettle bells. Almost 11 now... I'll push to get something in.
ok... can't spell now... sleep may be more valuable than a "ridiculous" work out!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS JODY - IM HALF TEASING - BUT YOU AND TOM ARE SPOT ON - I AM ADDICTED TO SUGAR - I GET SHAKEY - ESP.
