I have 1 of egg 1/2 shrimp 1/2 chicken, so....I will order steamed chicken/brocc from the chinese restaurant, what about that black bean sauce--a tbsp of that? Oh and someone left a six pack of oreo's on my desk....quickly got rid of those suckers :-) hid them in someone else's desk..did NOT eat them.

    6:30a 8oz black DD coffee
    7:30a 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/2 c. chicken 1/8 cup walnuts 10GF and apple
    10:30a 1/2 c. shrimp, 1/2 c. swt potato/veggies
    12:00 10 hazelnuts 9 GF

    Last night I danced and it felt great to have a good meal afterwards eggs & veggies. This morning not getting to eat till 7:30a I was actually shaking. No planned workout today, maybe dance later. I am having no cravings for sweets which I find amazing!

    Donna, I do not eat the sauce when i get steamed chicken and brocolli. Salt and pepper only. I am glad to hear you are having no cravings for sweets. However, your body is still in "shock" that's why the shakey feeling. Everything will level off. You are getting plenty of good carbs to keep your blood sugar at a good level.

    Dawn, do not fret you will be fine. It's only day 4 out of 16 weeks. Tom is emailing you the paperwork.

    I have some of the containers for you that we are using. If you go to Wegman's they are 9.5oz wegman brand containers. Selling out every day. You will eat 3 full containers of protein every day, 2 full containers of complex carbs and all the veggies you want. Tomatoes are a fruit. You will count your own fats. No more than 55g per day. If you don't have a big enough selection on the list. i will find you more. We may have to supplement with a fish oil. Bring your fish oils in tomorrow.

    Lina, nice choices. Fats are too high because you had the container of salmon. Do away with the nuts at nine. Have some protein instead. Would rather you be over in protein then fat or carbs. Everything else looks right on. Good job.

    Val, great. You got everything in. It's good that you are aware that you should have spread your meals out a bit more. The large supper may be hard for the body to process all at once. Do you have lite safflower mayo? If so, check the fat. It should only be around 4.5g fat per serving not 14g.

    Jacqui, Sorry you're not feeling well. One thing i can see off the bat is that you are eating a huge portion of your daily carb intake at 8. This is the worst time for the carbs. You need them to get you through the active part of your day. Please, make sure you finish your carbs by 6.

    You are going through some what of a cleansing period right now. If you are used to consuming the "bad" carbs throughout the day your body will be going through withdrawals. You are missing the suga honey!

    Maryann, Carbohydrates will make your body retain water.... especially when you are not used to eating them. So what. It's just water. Bottom line is we want you to consume a certain amount of food before you weigh in again so we understand what your metabolism is or is not doing. You are not consuming that many calories; especailly for an activve person like you. This means your metabolism is SLOW if you are gaining weight then ONLY way to speed it up is to consume more nutrient rich food with proper macro-nutrient ratios. Over time we will absolutely drop the carbs slowly, but not yet. If we dropped calories on you now you would soon be eating next to nothing with minimal weight loss. Right now what you are experiencing is likely the water retention from the carbs and weight gain from your period coming... none of which is "fat" gain. This is why we want your weight after 7 days, 10 days and 14 days to eliminate all outside factors that may be effecting your weight (including carb intollerance). Tom said you may or may not gain weight and who cares, what we need now is a baseline and IF you do gain weight then you did your body a favor these two weeks by needing it nutrient rich foods and sparking your metabolism to get ready for steady weight loss during the remaing 14 weeks. Right now you just need to trust us and not stress.

    Tracy, If you want tomorrow night to be your cheat meal then have your wine with it. I love wine. I actually would drink a glass every night if I could. But as you said it's for the best to stay away. I will still have a glass or two on the nights i have my cheat meal. Hang in there. You're doing great. Good luck on the interiview! Let us know how it goes.

    Dawn, look short on protein and should spread meals out a bit. Lunch was a lot for the body to process at one time. Please tell me by container what you have eaten. For example at 7am I had a half of container of egg salad. This gives me a better idea of what you consumed for the day. You can get fat from fish oil pills 5 a day Each 1200mg= 1.5g no more than that. You should not get more than 10percent of your fats from fish oil pills.( I think we may have discovered a big problem in your nutrition.) Flax seed oil pills 5 1200mg pills per day. You need to get approx. 43 more grams from another source! Olive oil or safflower mayo?

    ReplyDelete
  32. jodyMay 8, 2009 at 7:18 PM

    Dawn - meant to say 5 1200mg pills= 6 grams of fat. So, if you get 6 grams of fat from the fish oils and 6 grams of fat from flax seeds then that is 12 total grams; you will need 43 grams more from other sources.
