  • A few days' menus

    I am putting examples of what I've been eatting for review please. I lost really well the first two weeks, 9 pounds, then 3 more the next. I gained 3.5 pounds the next week, but it was right before TOM, so wasn't too concerned. Lost that back during that week, but now am back up 2 lbs again. I'm concerned because the lowest I've gotten is 158, meaning, that when I did WW, that's EXACTLY where I got to and stuck for 3 months before giving up (only it took 2 months to get there rather than one with Atkins, bonus!) So I'm a little worried I'm done with the weight loss again! I also run at least 4 days a week, weights one-two days. I only get 30 mins of my lunch hour to do it with the drive, so I generally put in about 2 - 2.5 miles in that 30 mins. (stubby legs just won't go faster than that yet!)

    I quit putting it in Fitday a week ago because I eat nearly the same thing every day, but I started back yesterday. I'll give you yesterday's then a few previous to that.

    Here is yesterday, my percentages look a little off.

    2 eggs, fried (a little butter) and 3 pieces of bacon
    2 cup decaf with 1 Tbs sugar free half-and-half in each
    Salad (2 cups romain) with Linda's crab cake on top, 2 TBS ranch
    1 large celery stick with 1 TBS natural peanut butter
    5-6 oz of stir fried stew meat
    1 serving Linda's stuffed 'potato'
    Pork rind 'cereal' with 1 TBS heavy cream and 1 TBS Walden Farms sugar/carb free caramel topping
    148 oz (2 - 74 oz jugs) of water

    1825 cals (seems a little high? I try to stay around 1500), 69% fat, 3% carbs (19 total, 12 net), 28% protein.

    Ran 2.3 miles.

    Another menu:

    2 eggs, fried in butter again, 3 slices of bacon
    2 cups decaf coffee with 1 Tbs half-and-half
    Salad lunch, with blue cheese crumbles, 1 small slice onion chopped and saute'd, a few mushrooms cooked with onions, 2 TBS blue cheese dressing
    1 stalk celery with 1 TBS natural peanut butter
    Cauliflower bake
    5 oz cooked roast beef with my barbecue sauce made from Walden Farms sugar free/carb free ketchup
    .5 cup jicama

    1550 cals, 73% fat, 5% carbs (27 total, 18 net) and 22% protein.

    1.75 miles and 10 mins on elliptical.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you!

    I'm not sure if what rung you're on... but if you're on induction the peanut butter is a no-no. And you need to switch your half and half to heavy cream - go for the good stuff!

    Other than that it seems pretty good to me.

      I am on nuts (unless I'm doing that wrong!), but really the only thing I've added is the peanut butter. I have somewhat skipped over dairy, but not on purpose. The only thing I really miss or need from dairy is maybe an occassional glass of milk or ice cream, which I learned yesterday I can fake with cream, but I haven't been able to find the Carb Conscious milk, so I know it's not in order, but not much I can do about it until I can find it :/

        Post induction stall can happen anywhere in weeks 3-6. Add TOM into the mix and everything is out of whack. I'd continue eating what you are for the next week and see what happens. If you have no loss or more gain, I'd ditch the peanut butter and coffee and see what happens.

          Check out Hood Calorie Countdown milk. It used to be called Carb Countdown, but since low-carb isn't "popular" anymore, they've changed the name. I bought the chocolate stuff and it's AWESOME! Per 8oz. serving it's 90 calories, 4g net carbs. It's awesome stuff.

            I'll look for that! I used to see it all the time, but like you said, it seems to have disappeared.
