I don't know how my weight keeps dropping slowly from my LDW of 187. I'm fearful of eating more than I am, and really I'm not hungry enough to eat more. I feel like I'm eating tons.
I went in search today for some different items for breakfast. I'm going to try Von's 8 Grain Waffles and some Kashi GoLean cereal. I also grabbed some double fiber whole grain bread to perhaps make a real sandwich. I'm leary of adding carbs in the same meal as fats so I'm going to have to go cautiously.

Hi! Just wanted to say I'm so happy I found your blog...you've given me some great ideas for recipes and I really find all of your detailed calories counts, etc. interesting and informative...I just started HCG, I'm on Day 2 of my VLCD, and I was thinking I'd probably just be slapping some makeshift things together to eat, but inspired by your blog I just made a really nice egg white and spinach omelet, so thanks! Also, I noticed that you played around with the meal formula a bit, sometimes just one fruit a day, sometimes none, sometimes toast, sometimes none, etc., and I was just wondering if you were experimenting with weight loss results, and if so, did anything work particularly better for you than anything else? Thanks! Alamada
ReplyDeleteHi Alamada. I'll finish up the rest of my VLCD menus in the next couple of days.
ReplyDeleteThe first few days of P2, I ate everything. Then I started experimenting with what fruit I did better with (apples and strawberries) and whether the toast made a difference. Overall it could have gone either way. I loved filling up on veggies and if that meant skipping the toast to have a bit more, I did it. I liked strawberries for the fruit because you get more volume for the same amount of calories, but sometimes I just wanted the crunch of an apple.
