Re: Colleen-- way to go! and ?s for you

[Guest guest]

Thanks. Also to clarify I didn't realize I ended week 8 not week

7...guess that's a good thing I got really hungry the last two

weeks and upped my portions a tad. I put up week 6 pics in the

pictures section but don't have a starting pic to put up. Here are my

normal meals:

Protein pancakes or made into muffins

CC, apple or berries, sometimes 1/2 serving berries, 1/2 serving

yogurt

CC, oatmeal

Chicken (lots of chicken) with either brown rice, barley, red

potatoes or beans

Extra lean ground turkey made into sausage patties or as turkey

meatloaf..again I eat it with brown rice, barleys, red potatoes or

beans

1 egg/4 egg whites, 1 corn tortilla, 1/2 serving black beans, salsa

OneWay bar usually one a day or every other day

Occasionally if I'm in a bind I'll eat WW carb control bread or WW

couscous for my carbs. But for the most part I try to stay away from

bread type products.

I really think my success this time is that I've been on plan every

single day this time around. I haven't missed a workout and I've been

hitting 2-3 liters of water a day.

Why do you avoid ww bread? I usually eat it in 2-3 of my meals. The

type of bread I eat has per slice: 35 cal , 7 carb, .5g fat, 3g

fiber.

The kind I get I believe is by Orowheat and called Carb Control

bread. I think the net carbs are 6 grams per slice. I think

the " actual " carb count is 9 if I recall correctly. I do find that

bread and pastas do slow down my progress tho and try to only eat

them occasionally.

I also forgot to add that I do add veggies to at least two meals a

day. Normally tomatoes and mushrooms cuz they are easy. But also

asparagus and zucchini if I'm not lazy.

Sorry didn't really fully answer. In the BFL book, I believe Bill

only reluctantly authorizes bread and pasta. They are more processed

than most of the other carbs that are authorized. I see that most

people have better success if they limit their sevings of bread/pasta

to no more than 1 per day. The closer to " real food " you can get,

the better results you will get.
