Re: Dani - will you look at this please?

[Guest guest]

Dani-

I'm curious where in the BFL book does it say that? Or is that just a

personal recommendation?

I have more than one processed carb a day, but they are onthe authorized

list. Are they just personal tweaks that people have found accelerate the

results? I'm just curious becuase I also read another post by a few that

recommended no more than 2 pcs of fruit a day, but if they are authorized,

why couldn't I have more?

I really am trying to follow the book as closely as possible, but I keep

reading about all of these other rules and can't seem to keep track.

Thanks-

Betty

Hi ,

Not enough protein. Try one whole egg, plus 4 egg whites. Is the

yogurt sugar-free (they still have some sugar, but shouldn't have

more than 15 grams per container; Yoplain Lite is good).

great.

I would have a bit more turkey (aim for at least 25 grams of

protein), but looks good.

Is this that ready made protein? Looks okay, although I don't think

it's quite enough calories for a meal. Is the dressing low in sugar?

What about having brown rice, sweet potato, barley and/or beans

instead of the bread? You already had the tortilla, and it's best to

keep it to one processed carb per day.

I would have a bit more tuna, but looks good.

These are better choices, but I figured you're eating around 1100-

1200 calories, not really enough. How tall are you and how much do

you weigh? You should aim for 10 calories per pound of body weight.

Eating too little is counterproductive in the long run; your body

will go into starvation mode, and then you'll have a really hard time

getting the fat off.

Thanks - I'd have to check on the sugar in the dressing - I'm not

sure. I am 5'2 " and weigh 126 (hopefully less now - I weigh on

Saturday)

Betty,

I don't have the book with me, but I do believe that Bill

only grudgingly allows bread and pasta. No fitness competitors eat

that stuff, and most ladies here have found that they have better

results when they stick to the most unprocessed carbs. possible.

Bread and pasta do not occur in nature. As for fruit, that depends

on your body. I've found that having no more than one piece of fruit

a day works for me, but that's just me. You may find that fruit

doesn't bother you. Even though fructose is lower glycemic than,

say, glucose, it's still a sugar, and each piece of fruit has between

15-25 grams of it. Grapes and bananas have the most sugar, so I

usually stick to berries, apples and pears.

Yeah, take a look at that dressing. A lot of the fat free ones are

loaded with sugar. I would aim for at least 1300 calories. I know a

lot of ladies here would recommend more than that even. You really

don't want to go into starvation mode.
