  1. Day 4

    Wednesday
    Protein
    1 container of Ground Sirloin (added red peppers, onion, some spices, oregano and parsley)
    1 container of Chicken (pesto)
    Carbs
    1 container of Brown Rice
    3 slices EZ bread
    Fat
    cashews (15g)
    Light Dressing (7g)
    Almond butter (15g)

    Only 37g (fat) but I guess close enough.

    Will eat like this
    6am
    Banana on EZ bread with Almond Butter
    10am
    brown rice .5, Sirloin .5
    12pm
    chicken .5, Salad , with light dressing
    3pm
    chicken .5 , brown rice .5
    6pm
    brown rice .5 , sirloin .5
    Not sure were yet but I will eat the cashews and celery/other slice of bread .
    Maybe after dinner if I am still hungry
    I got up early this morning because I was anxious to make the sirloin. I know sick! I need some more ideas for Protein? I have not yet done the Tuna so I might try that tomorrow.
    We will see how it turned out. This way I don't have to use one of my proteins in the morning ... I was a little hungry Day 3, but I know that I didn't eat all my carbs and protein I had a little left over but didn't want to eat it if I didn't want it. The whole wheat couscous turned out to be a lot for me. I put a little bit of sauce on the couscous (tomato) when I was in the store was not sure which one? Jody which one is good?
    Also, when I was cooking I realized that I really thought I was making enough for the week... but I didn't. I probably need to buy more chicken and more Sirloin and other proteins that are acceptable.
    :)
    Waiting for mental clarity to come really need it! lol

    Maybe I will have the celery there.

  11. Jody or anyone know...

    What's the trick to cooking hard boiled eggs so that they are easy to peel i.e.: shell doesn't stick too much to the white?

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Hi Jody:)

    I got protein powder last night.They didn't have harmonized protein, but instead I got whey protein, chocolate flavor, 25 gr protein in 1 serving.(I did 1.5 scoops twice yest)
    OK?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Howard, I run them under cold water as i peel them.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Sara, thats great. What are the carbs?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Jody, one scoop has 3 g of carbs...just had 1.5 scoops..its really delicious:)

    ReplyDelete
  16. My menu today:

    Carbs: 3/4 cup rolled oats(48 gr carbs)
    1 conatiner brown rice
    Had 1 small orange

    Protein: 1 cont salmon
    2 protein shakes( 3 scoops)

    Fat: 2 serv almonds
    1 serv sunflower seeds

    I feel very full...its making me a bit lazy I think.I felt way to full to go to the gym.I know its bad, but I just dint have the energy to get going.

    Advice?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Sara, protein powder is perfect. What time do you workout? You don't want to workout right after you eat anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I usually do afteroon classes, step or spin from 4-5 or 5-6 3times/week and group lifting 3 times a week around the same time.
    I ate at 3.30ish last time today but still feel too full..probably because i used to eat way to little compared to the amount of workouts I did...

    Anyway..what is the right amount of working out for this diet and how important is it in order to succeed?

    Thank you so much Jody:)

  20. Hey Guys.... Jody/Sara:
    PESTO
    I got the basil pesto at Whole foods (365 brand)
    Not sure if it is the best one but it is made with the following
    expeller Pressed sunflower oil basil, extra V olive oil , it does have salt and sugar in it so it may not be the best. I would say I put like 1 tbsp on and it has 8g of fat sugar is <1 g whatever that mean so I guess its not bad.
    I have made homemade pesto sauce before and its easy .. when I have time I should make some more.
    It is just Extra V olive oil and I think some spices and basil thats it.. You can probably even add some other things (spices) that you like.
    I have a tiny blender. Like a little portable one that I use a lot I think black and decker makes it and I use that.
    I think I should have probably counted the pesto for at least 8g of fat.

    What other oils do you think you could use? I have avacado oil?
    EGGS
    I make hard boiled eggs all the time and they come out pretty good. I put water in the pot and make sure the eggs are covered and wait for them to boil ... I put sea salt and Vinegar in the water. Then after it boils I put it in the sink in cold water and add ice cubes to the pot. They have been coming out pretty good lately.

    I am having such a bad day... If you need to label what kind of eater I am its a emotional one, and I know that. I learn something new about myself everyday.
    Jess.

  21. oh I just had a brain storm..lol

  22. Thanks Jessica,

    You are very helpful, I always read your blogs, and get ideas as far as figuring out the menu for the day:)

    thanks again..and keep up the brain storming..it helps tons!!!!

  23. no problem Sara... /it would be great if we can all get ideas from each other....
    :)

  24. Sara, working out is crucial to the success of this program. Remember there is not set time to eat. As long as you get all of your containers in and carbs before 6 you're in good shape. Maybe the meal you eat before you workout should be smaller. Make it only carbs and protein. Fats may make you feel too stuffed.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Jessica you can use almond oil, safflower oil, walnut oil. In Wegman's in the organic section they have a large variety of different oils. They say right on the front what they are good for. I don't know if you are aware but some oils become toxic when heated too much. It will state on the bottle good for high, medium or low heat.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Hi Kathy, food looks great. The fat in the salmon is so good for you. I would say on the days you eat salmon cut the fat by 5grams. Walnuts and almonds are the best choice. Have to look into brazil nuts for you. Whole or half walnuts?

  27. Day 5
    January 14

    Banana (frozen ) like an ice pop (is so good)

    Protein
    1 container of ground sirloin
    .5 Alaska Roll (is light soy sauce allowed?)
    Carbs
    1 container of brown rice/ I will only fill up 1/2 way because I need to use my other half for my Alaska Roll
    1 container of EZ Bread, I have not been able to eat my last slice ever.
    Fats
    Avocado (from Alaska roll)not sure how much fat?5 g
    1/5 of an avocado is 5 grams I don't think more than that is in a roll? What do you think Jody?
    Almond Butter 17g
    cashews 15g

    Salad, and Edamame Beans

    So worried about going away this weekend for Snow tubbing. I hope I do okay. For some reason misery loves company.
    I hate when people push food. I will just keep busy .. They are talking about going to a bar. I am really not a drinker so the drinking won't bother me. I do like wine sometimes, but it really just gets me tired. so not in the cards for me. What are some healthy things I can order off of the menu? Or should I just eat my containers before I go out and then just get a small salad?
    Feeling pretty good today! Today is latin dance night. OH I love it ! The teacher is amazing and you get a great cardio workout from it! I did arms and legs 1 x this week I will need to do them again before Sunday.

  34. Jan, what did you do last time? Nuts are crunchy. Your meals look good.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  37. i was tortured and 22 nuts doesn't cut it - thanks

    ReplyDelete
  38. Jan when i am hungry at night i have protein. Try to have a protein shake. It really is satisfying. By the way i know that thanks was sarcastic. He he. I am sorry if i was short with you. Do you want crunch or salt? Raw veggies are crunchy and filling. How about jerky? You are just fighting those cravings again. It will pass.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Jan how about celery with peanut butter on it?

    ReplyDelete
  40. Jan, egg or tuna salad with celery and sea salt? Anything protein is good.
