Re: New on CR - Help With Megameals

[Guest guest]

I applaud your organization and commitment; clearly your minds have been

won over by the extraordinary truth and advantages clearly associated with

calorie restriction.

I can't help you with your specific query, but please let me suggest that

you not worry too much: having seen the right direction in which to head,

if it takes you some time to develop routines/recipes/habits that are truly

sustainable, in the end, it's your patience (with yourselves and the

process) and perseverance that will find you eventually established in a

route that shows substantial promise for being sustainable through the

long, long, one hopes quite-long haul. I began engaging with CRON and

various strategies/approaches almost two years ago, and its only in the

last six weeks that I found a route that, for me, leaves me not feeling

sorry for myself (and thus prone to error) and confident, even delighted,

with its apparent sustainability. Individuals will find individual routes

that suit them best, but don't worry, do be happy: this particular passage

through the eye of the needle that so few seem able to successfully

undertake is truly worthwhile, and it's winning the race and finishing

strongly that's the true goal.

Everyone receives an automatic message when they join the group pointing them to the files and links and other useful information about this group. I suggest you read the messages. Our files and links are full of suggestions, tips to ease your way, and yes, lots and lots of recipes in a special on-line " cookbook " in our links section.

Ah if only people would read what is sent to them.

feel much better after only 1 weeks. However, with the two of us on

the meals, I am struggling with choice of recipes for the mega meals

since we would like to eat them for 4 weeks.

Where can I get more recipes?

Also - what do we do in a pinch when we run out of meals towards the

end of the week and need one to get us by?

I don't want to get discouraged and I have always been committed to

making great meals.

Thanks

As I recall there are several recipes in Walford's book, on this and

other websites. If you are thinking about doing this for the rest of

your life (I hope), you may want to consider how to make lower calorie

versions of your current favorite meals.

I am an advocate of modest incremental changes rather than cold turkey

cold turkey.... Often something like substituting veggies for pasta

(like spaghetti squash for spagethhi?) turns an otherwise non-CR meal

into something more appropriate.

We all must find our own slightly different path, but the one thing

about CRON is that it isn't one thing... It a very varied diet, just

lower calorie while nutritionally dense.

Enjoy...
