Re: Newby ....... 2nd time around

what is kohlrabi?

It's an alien shaped vegetable, a bulb with antennae, but unlike turnips, beets, etc, it grows above ground. It is a member of the cabbage family, but in it's raw state, it is actually sweet with no cabbagey taste. Once cooked, the cabbage flavor comes out, and it is yummy cooked in chicken broth and served with butter and caraway seed. I like it raw the best though, and it is a fantastic source of Vitamin C that way. makes a great cracker substitute or veggie for dipping as well. http://images-partners-tbn.google.co...ohlrabi300.jpg

This is excellent for breakfast. I make it on Sunday night & have breakfast for the week. I cut it up & put it in baggies & grab it on my way out the door. It's easy to make give it a try!!

don't cheat?

Seriously though, how bad did you cheat? If it were me, I'd go for a full 2 weeks clean induction. Guys seem to have a lot easier time that girls though....so how much did you lose? Are you happy with that? Do you want to do better?

Man, I know you are frustrated! Do your best to regain your focus, you had a few really good days! It's tough, but this is a ketogenic diet, it causes you to start buring your fat for fuel, after 3 days, going back and forth is not gonna help your metobolic switch....I say that with a deep awareness of just how hard this is....hang in there Todd and keep going forward, clean tomorrow, weigh in Tues, and get a plan together for The Thanksgiving holiday!

Re: Newby ....... 2nd time around

Thanks for the encouragement jess! Yes i am picking myself back up, and moving forward. I dont think i will have a prob with thanksgiving. Its just another day in my family, so im glad for that.

Re: Newby ....... 2nd time around

Wanna see you break through with some consistency so this diet becomes something you can do and then a lifestyle...the weightloss rewards are awesome, but really you start to really feel great as your body readjusts to going without the high carbs...I just love how I feel when I am so streamlined! It's not an easy place to get to, and certainly a challenge to keep, but sooo worth it!

I had my own cheat today....the first one over two weeks. Nothing dramatic, but definitely off plan....some liver pate that weighed in at 4 grams of carbs and 8 grams of pineapple that weighed in at 1 gram of carbs.

New day, thank goodness.
