Cheat Your Way Thin diet ~ **guide available to download in post #45**

thanks for the info! i guess i'll stick to water with lemon. I dont drink coffee or soda but i'll miss my apple juice though lol.

 

I have one more question.

Today was my cheat day and i'm starting the Low carb tomorrow.

Am i supposed to eat 1 portion of protein and fat for every meal and snack?

Could someone give me an example of what they eat on a typical low carb day?

i'm pretty sure on the days you can eat fruit, an 8 oz glass (SMALL) of juice can count as a serving of fruit. just make sure the juice is 100% juice and not a bunch of sugar and crap. best if you juice your fruit yourself.

My typical low-carb day:

Breakfast
2 egg whites (protein)
2 lowfat turkey sausages (fat)
Extra: coffee+ half and half
(I'm counting the turkey sausage as fat because it's not really all that low fat + it gives extra protein)

AM snack
1 chicken sausage (110 cal/4.5g fat) (protein)
1 sargento colby cheese stick (fat)

or
1 grilled chicken tender instead of the chicken sausage

Lunch
3oz sirloin tips (protein)
grilled mushrooms (free veg)
celery (free) stuffed with cream cheese (fat)

Afternoon Snack
1 chicken sausage (110 cal/4.5g fat) (protein)
1/8 cup shelled walnuts (fat)

Dinner
Grilled Chicken breast (protein)
2 cups roasted broccoli (free) with olive oil (fat)

PM snack
EAS vanilla whey - 1 scoop (protein) mixed with water


Generally I made extra of my dinners so I would have extra for lunch the next day.

Oh and I have to say it is a lot of work to do this, but really worth it.... FI was grilling sausages at 7am one morning so I would have snacks ... I bring a huge lunch bag to work, with lots of tupperware!!

thank you finz!

 

for breakfast i had 2 egg whites and 2 pieces of low-fat turkey bacon- still was about 6 grams of fat. hope thats ok

 

for a snack i think i'll just have cottage cheese since thats protein and fat or an egg white again with a cheese stick

 

lunch i'll do chicken sausage and veggies

 

dinner will probably be beef and veggies

 

I'm going to have to go back to the grocery store i think, looks like i'ts going to be a long week trying to eat just protein, fat and veggies.

thank goodness this program begins with a cheat day.. i had cookie dough ice cream, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and pizza.. it was great lol

Also, on the chart breakfast is at 7 and i was up today at 8 but didnt eat until 8:30, should i get back on track with the chart and eat again at 10 or wait 3 hours between my first two meals and so on??

 

 

sorry for all the questions btw!

Hey Lisa could you send me the package I will PM you my email addy.

Finzup - hey congrats on the loss, you are doing fantastic! Sounds like you have amazing will power too!!

 

Lisaloo - how'd the cheat day/weigh in go?

 

I lost 1 lb this past week which I'm pretty happy about considering I hardly exercised lol. I'm starting training again this week so I'm sure I'll probably start losing even more weight every week...or put on weight if I gain muscle (which is fine). Guess I'll see how it goes.

Great job Kathy! :cheer:

 

I have lots to say with no time to say it so I do plan on writting up a big review about my first cheat day and my weighing-in. Hopefully later on today/tonight or tomorrow! So stay tuned!

Thanks Lisaloo!! Can't wait to hear all about your first cheat day and weigh-in!
