A coupla questions...why did you get up at noon, because you did not sleep well?

Personally getting up so late today would have me up late tonight. If that

happens again, I would get out of bed early, so I would be tired when I go to

bed.

Forgetting the fact that you slept in.....you should only have one serving of

V8* a day and your dinner needs veggies. If you got up so late, what time will

you be going to bed? I may have a small meal, a few hours before bed.

What is your normal rising time? What is your normal bed time?

Looking at your menu, it looks like you pretty much picked the day up from

the beginning, having your breakfast at lunch -- right?

Missing a meal because you oversleep is very different from being awake and

skipping the meal. It also has a different affect on your system.

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Since you got up late, you will stay awake later, right? If so, how

about fitting in one more meal at evening snack time, even if it's

just a small meal? Your lunch today was really breakfast, and your

dinner was really lunch, so you could just add one more meal and call

it dinner, regardless of the time of day. Would that work for you?

I dont know about that. I went to bed at 11 PM and slept until 10 AM

this morning. This is a big sign I may be getting sick again. But I

am going to just keep staying on the Beach the best I can. I really

need to get back to my oatmeal. And I may seeing as I have been SF

for the 2 weeks.

Also I got a friends scale and hers said I lost 3 lbs.

Thanks!

-- IIRC, weren't you the one who sorta did P1 on the first week then

definitely did it on the 2nd week and are experiencing some sweet cravings

still?

P1 isn't just about being sugar free -- there are other sources of unstable

blood glucose in the standard Western diet. If you're still having

cravings, you're not over the hump yet and would still benefit from P1.

That said....

Considering your health issues (Crohn's, right?) you may need to either

tailor P1 to meet your needs or move on to P2. When skipping P1, it takes a

bit longer for things to stabilize but things DO come around. I'm not sure

how eating oatmeal is HELPING your Crohn's...? But either way, you should

work with your doctor to make sure your diet works well with your health

conditions. (You DID talk to your doctor before going on the SBD, right?)

Oatmeal is one of the best things for my IBS, so I do understand what

is talking about here.

HI !

Yes, that was me. And what I mean by sort of on PH1, is that I was

eating wraps every day for the first 1/2 of the week. Until I found

out they werent legal. I am having some big cravings still. For

chocolate, bread, pizza and beer.

I am toughing itout for another few days.I think my goal is going to

be Friday. Then I can do more food shopping to add PH2 items.

I am going to tough it out for a couple more days. It isnt that

difficult. And having morning coffee helps staying simi regular.

> I'm not sure how eating oatmeal is HELPING your Crohn's...?

Its the only fiber my body can handle. It keeps me regular. I swear

it keeps my demons away (so to speak).

Yes Dad, I did! I actually see doctors in Boston at Mass General and

I live in Maine. So I see the big guys! They have told me I can eat

what ever doesnt bother me. If I find something bothers me, dont eat

it. Now going med free they did not approve of. But his exact words

were " You are an adult thats makes her own decisions. Please keep

in mind that if you have a flare it may take more agressive actions

to take get back. This includes higher doses of Prednisone. " He said

count calories and excercise. He also said 2 years ago that when I

weaned off a 100 MG of Prednisone (over 4 months) a day that the

weight would melt off.

So, in the long run, I am eating healthy. I am okay. I am very run

down and tired. So we shall see.

Your first meal of the day, regardless of what time it is by the clock, is

breakfast. Two hours later is your first snack. Two hours later it's lunch

time. Then you have your second snack. Dinner comes at the next meal time,

regardless of what the hands of the clock say. Dessert before bed, and you

are done.

For instance, I work at a store, usually closing at 10:30 pm. I don't get to

bed much before midnight. I get up at 6:30 am to get my son to school and

then go back to bed for a few more hours of sleep. When I get up at that

point my day actually starts and I have breakfast between 9 and 10 am. Most

folks would be having their midmorning snack at that time, but I'm off by

one meal. Doesn't bother me a bit - I just follow the pattern. That means

lunch is at 2 or so, and dinner is at 8pm. But it works for my and my

schedule.

Yeah, sounds like you need more P1 time.

I did more reading on it and found it's the soluble fiber that's good for

Crohn's, correct? Be that the case, have you tried Metamucil?

I haven't heard anyone on prednisone say their extra weight " melted "

off...unless they were talking about a slow drip of a melt.

Bear in mind feeling run down and tired is a very P1 sort of thing. As hard

as it may be to believe, it's normal and a part of the process. It takes a

while for the body to adjust it's sugar levels -- for some it is quicker,

for others longer.

Keep pluggin' away...!

Do you think you could eat oat muffins? If so, I have a recipe. They

don't bother my IBS at all, but I don't know it would affect you.

Pocono Cream of Buckwheat cereal also works well with me. I get it at

the health food store.

I've done the whole prednisone thing a couple of times for uncontrollable asthma

and I've heard the " melt off " theory. Only it's like that urban myth where it

happened to a friend of a friend of a friend. In my experience it takes as much

time or more for Prednisone weight to come off...although that weird swollen

look does disappear....just not the actual pounds. Figure that out! It does

come off though. Be patient and don't get frustrated. It WILL come off!

Hi ann!

I am very confused about that soluabel fiber post....but thanks for

your help. I know what I can eat, how much I can get away with, and

how much I cant. I have heard of that book probably from my Crohns &

Ulcerative Colitis group.

Speaking of brussel sprouts, I tried that roasted recipe and that

gave me cramps. But now that you mention it, I remembered that I nuked

a batch to death (very mushy) and those didnt.

I am sure that I can eat an oat muffin. I can eat oat bran muffins but

have a hard time with All Bran straight. So I could use some feedback

from you about the dry cereal choices.

Also curious if any one uses thier bread machine to make thier own

bread.

Before SBD, I ate only Cheerios and Rice Krispies but now that I am

on SBD I haven't been eating any cereal. I have wheat and corn

allergies, so there really aren't any SBD approved cold cereals I can

eat. I was thinking of going to the health food store to look for

some cold whole grain oat or brown rice cereal.

Here is the oat muffin recipe. If you can't eat the fruit in it, then

just add some Splenda to sweeten it:

Oat Bran Muffins

2 ¼ cups Quaker Oat Bran hot cereal, uncooked

¼ cup unsweetened applesauce

¼ cup chopped dried apricots or apples or 1 cup fresh blueberries

2 tsp baking powder

1 cup skim milk

2 slightly beaten egg whites

2 Tbsp canola oil

Combine dry ingredients. Mix well.

Add combined milk, egg whites, applesauce, dried fruit and oil.

Mix until dry ingredients are moist.

Put in muffin cups with paper baking cups. Cook at 425 degrees for 15-

17 minutes or until golden brown on the outside and a knife inserted

into them comes out clean.
