You guys are doing so amazing! Do you realize that Tom and I expected to lose at least a handful of clients that couldn't hack this program. That says a lot about your strength and character. You have so much to be proud of. I know Tom and I are proud of each and every one of you. We are so happy to be working with you and getting to know you more personally. Now get back to work!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Jicama is a root vegetable. Very very tasty. Probably can get it in Wegman's. We have to check if it's a starch or a vegetable.

  6. Jan, get a container of carbs in somewhere. Sweet potato?

  12. Anitra, On your high carb day i want you to have 2 containers of carbs( 2 ezekiel equals one container).Maybe some oatmeal for breakfast? Carbs should be completed by 6. I see you had a late workout. Would it be possible to have your post-workout meal by 6? You really should eat protein and carbs right after a strength workout.

    Also, (i know im a pain in the butt)could you please put the amount of fat grams in so i can add up. 50g per day only. Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Stacy, Fats seem low to me. Please put the amount of grams next to each fat you eat. You used oil and vin but I don't know how much oil. Maybe some more veggies throughout the day?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Everyone, raw veggies throughout the day and one gallon of water.

    ReplyDelete
  17. 3pm I forgot, I had half container of sweet potato as well

    ReplyDelete
  18. Terri, I would consider tha above a high carb day. You should chose 3 days of your hardest training to have a day like this. 2 containers of carbs and fruit is high carb. 1 container and no fruit is low carb (4days a week)

    Protein looks a bit low. should have 3
    containers.

    Fats i want you to put the grams next to each fat so i can't count easily. For example 22 almonds (16gf) Should equal 50g.

    Please, no pasta sauce. (tomato based)

    Next time we train i will set up a schedule for high low carb day with you. Or you can ask Tom tomorrow to write up a schedule for you.

  21. Low Carb day (and what turns out to be a low protein day - SORRY)

    9:00 slightly less 2/3 container oatmeal, 2 tbsp almond butter (16gf)

    12:30 1/2 container tuna, 1 tbsp Smart Balance Mayo (4.5gf) on a container of cucumber rounds

    here is where it all started going down hill

    3:00 1/2 container of horseradish salmon burger (burger had wheat bread crumbs hence the slighly less breakfast), container of steamed green beans - I packed a container of salmon burger but it did not agree with my stomach so I could only eat half of it.

    10:00 Dream Protein (2 scoops)

    Yes I am missing a container of protein. I had a 7:00 meeting packed food with me to eat after meeting but then my daughter injured herself tumbling. Hyperextended her knee. (hopefully that is all) Of course that doesn't stop her and she continues on with practice all the while I am giving her dirty looks and she is looking at me with tears in her eyes charging on. That girl got some grit..

    Now go ahead and scold me for not getting all the required food in me..

    Oh I think I am way low on fats, so I will have some PB (out of AB).

    If I am having my cheat meal tomorrow at lunch, do I way tomorrow and report or am I good to weigh myslef in on Sunday?

    ReplyDelete
  22. oh and in the afternoon I had a container of peppers.

    ReplyDelete
  23. HI DONNA -- jicama looks like a giant radish but its tan and kinda dirty (and a little hairy) on the outside -- wait that sounds very sexual doesnt it. anyway, Most decent supermarkets carry it. My moms husband introduced it to me when i converted to gluten free. Assuming Jody/Tom gives us the green light and its not a starch - its great to use in place of crackers for hummas, salsa etc., its also really good alone sliced and cold. You have to use a peeler for the outside layer of skin and then peel off the "shell" - let me know when you try it!

  25. Jody - pls let me know if Jicama can be used as a veggie

    Donna - i found this Jicama
    Jicama is a crispy, sweet, edible root that resembles a turnip in physical appearance, although the plants are not related. The vegetable is quite popular in Mexican cuisine. has a unique flavor that lends itself well to salads, salsas, and vegetable platters. The roots can sometimes grow to be quite large, although when they exceed the size of two fists, they begin to convert the sugars that give jicama its sweet flavor into starches, making the root somewhat woody to the taste.

    Jicama is actually a legume, and it grows on vines that may reach 20 feet (six meters) in length. Before eating, the coarse brown outer layer of the jicama should be peeled to reveal the white inside.

    When choosing jicama at the store, look for medium sized, firm tubers with dry roots. Do not purchase jicama that has wet or soft spots, which may indicate rot, and don't be drawn to overlarge examples of the tuber, because they may not be as flavorful. Jicama will keep under refrigeration for up to two weeks.

    Jicama is excellent raw and is sometimes eaten plain. It can also be used as a substitute for water chestnut in Chinese dishes, in which case it should be thrown in right before serving. jicama is a great source of vitamin c and is fat free—making it a superb on-the-go snack.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Jan--Thanks for the information on Jicama, everytime I went to Nutritiondata.com yesterday to look it up it booted me off!! Sounds really good.

    What is the verdict Jody--veggie or carb??

    ReplyDelete
  27. Sorry it was tomato/basil sauce, not pasta sauce

    Fats came in around 45g, little higher than it should've

    How many carb grams am I supposed to have in a day?

    I know the protein was a little low, have not been able to stock the kitchen yet worked with what was in the house. Shopping today

    ReplyDelete
  33. Karen, I hope you are ok. Sorry to hear what happened. We will make a plan don't worry. Foods look great.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Jan, Jimaca when cooked doesn't have much nutritional value went to nutritiondata.com.

    Do you want me to say its ok to have saki when it's not your cheat meal? WELL I WONT!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Jimaca when eaten raw has 11 grams of carbs. I am going to say it's a carb when raw and a veggie when cooked. When cooked it has hardly any nutritional value and only 2g carbs . Will add flavor to foods though.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Tracy, yes got your email. Meals look good. I tried to look up rutabegas but nothing came up. Are you sure of the spelling? Remember you can go to nutrition data .com

    ReplyDelete
  37. Lina, looks good. I see you already cut your fats. Good only 40g from now on no less, though.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Lisa, good. Starting tomorrow cut the fats to 40g.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Donna, good day. Cut the fats to 40g starting sat. Measure almond butter carefully.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Terri, fats are 40g. also, just fill containers 2 with carbs 3 days a week and 1 container 4 times a week. Protein 3 full containers per day. Don't worry about counting. Only thing we want you to count is your 40g of fat.
