Guest guest Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Hi I go to a bariatric doctor to lose weight. She is excellent. we have changed my plan from a diabetic exchange plan to 3 moderate meals a day and one small snack at night. Heavy on fruits and veggies and not quite as heavy on white bread and flour. Sugar is a rarity. I think this will help me abe less crazy with it. Food is constant on my mind when I follow a strict plan and I am constantly worried about how I am able to fit the foods in and go off it like crazy when I can't. Don't know if this is a help to any one else but it is a godsend to me. I ha ve just started this plan since yesterday but already my nerves have calmed down. I am not near a basket case as I was.

Peace pat Pat, This sounds wonderful. Read what you just wrote! Look what you have given yourself. Or you and your doctor have given yourself! Its a healthy way of looking at food and a way of looking at it for a lifetime. Good for you! Jodee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax and be glad you're progressing towards your goal well enough to get off the super strict plan an onto this one. Congrats!

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 I cleaned out my cupboards and gave away all > the foods we can't have anymore. , I am with you all the way on this one! I was the one who posted I cannot have Halloween candy in the house, or I will eat it. And I am the same way about anything else that packs loads of calories in very little space; i.e., cake, fatty stuff, you know the drill. My cupboard is packed with cans of Healthy Choice soups; cans of veg; regular popcorn; stuff like that. Freezer is packed with bags of frozen veg (well, and a few popsicles if I really have to have something). Ice-box packed with loads more veg. So when those late- night munchies call, I might have a can of soup; or a salad; or an entire bag of frozen veg. It really has kept me on-track (well, most of the time; perfect I'm not . . .) Today's sweets for me? The two or three Viactivs I chomp down daily for my calcium. It really does help satisfy my sweet tooth. And I do not eat more than the two or three; they are only 20 calories each and they do taste great. Marilyn D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Hi there, A message that Sue replied to struck a chord with me. Sue said." > Snack> Slimfast barIf you truly enjoy these, fine, but you can get a lot more *real* food foryour 220 - 250 calories, even an entire PB & J sandwich and a piece of fruit. I have never understood the whole slimfast bar or shake thing. Why not put those calories towards REAL food? Is it because they are full of nutritional goodies?

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 >I have never understood the whole slimfast bar or shake thing. Why not put those calories towards REAL food? Is it because they are full of nutritional goodies? I can see the attraction to them for someone on the go in a very busy job who doesn't get a chance to grab a real lunch break. Most of my working days were spent like that, eating on the run, taking a bite of my sandwich in the breakroom as I ran to the toilet before having to run back out again. At 220 or more calories it's a bit high for a snack, but as a meal replacement, which is what those Slimfast Bars are supposed to be, they can't be beat.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 That is exactly the way it is for me too. I just can't have this stuff in the house. And I take Viactivs too. This way I know I am getting that calcium. I am starting to have a glass of skim milk each night with my dinner and if I want a snack I may have one then. I try to drink a glass in the morning but it doesn't always happen. My biggest problem is all the free stuff I get with cpns that I am addicted too. So now I just give the stuff away if I can't have it. I just can't pass up a bargain now days. I am a refunder and love to get free stuff. As for candy, I tried the sugar free stuff, which isn't bad, but it did not agree with me at all. I know exactly how many flowers that are on my bathroom wall paper. in NY Re: My food plan > I cleaned out my cupboards and gave away all > > the foods we can't have anymore. > > , I am with you all the way on this one! > > I was the one who posted I cannot have Halloween candy in the house, > or I will eat it.
