Week 9-Going UP
Hm. Well, week 9 has been interesting. Twice I broke the diet at dinner, Wednesday (had a small slice of banana bread) and last night (big party, had a small piece of pie and flan.) Otherwise, obs...
Re: Akane's Before/After Pictures :)
Thank you for those! You are inspiring, I now feel like a dolt for letting two weeks of stall bring me down as much as they did. Perseverance pays off!
Week 8 - Plateau busted
Finally busted the plateau following Tom's advice. I don't think I went into Ketosis as I did retain some beans in the diet. Dropped 4 lbs and lost 1" around my waist. Not too shabby. Going...
Erik - as far as I understand, counting calories *is not* intended for this diet. I was trying to figure out carb grams when I came to that realiz...
I added two TBSP of Peanut Butter (organic, no additives) before bed, which brought me to almost 1,500.
Musings about Plateaus
I've been pretty bummed about this plateau. For three or four weeks I have seen no change at all in my weight or measurements, to the point where I am now obsessing, which I fear will lead to drop...
Thanks Carmen.
Re: Tip!! Caution: Cream might be the culprit!!!
Wow. Just went off to read about this mighty product, no idea it was in my heavy cream. There goes the cream in coffee (also trying to break a slump, so killing two birds with one stone ... or one...
Tomato: 1/4 tomato at breakfast, the bean-tuna salad has one tomato, but it makes about 5 servings. Avocado: one avocado in the salad, same thing...
Week 7 - the grand plateau
The plateau continues. No change whatsoever. Same weight, same measurements. Things I changed this week: as of Wednesday, took out the *one* cheat I was allowing myself, which was sugar in my mo...
Frustrating Week 6
Second week with no change in either weight nor measurements. I even added an extra bike ride and long walk to this week, and added 5 lbs to the swings. I feel great and am fitting into my 33&quo...

Re: Best Recipe to Eat All Week?
I am on the same boat. I have no time to cook during the week, so I prepare my meals Sunday night. Two regulars: chicken chili, good because it contains in addition to chicken and beans spinach;...
Re: Are my slow carb diet meals ok? Ur thoughts PLS!
I am no expert, but it seems to me that you are not eating enough. I would say you need more legumes and vegetables in your diet. It's a bit of a chore, but what I do now is prepare all my meals ...
Thanks for the feedback (dang ... can't find more than one answer helpful.) I do what I can, but one thing I know about myself is that if I depriv...
Long distance biking
I am starting week 4, and have been slowly adding exercise. I am doing the 20-minute workouts, however I am also an avid biker-I hadn't biked in years due to injury/no bike. I now have a new bike ...
Week 3 update: Weight: 215. That's 3 pounds this week, 10 since I started. I figure the sweetener in my morning coffee is a reason the weight is n...
The back photo was the one that horrified me the most and I recall whenever I feel a little discouraged.
Closing in on week 3. Week 1: lost 5 pounds; week 2: 2. Tomorrow is cheat day, we'll see how that goes.
Spelt berries.
I am curious as to the status of spelt berries. Just ordered my favorite Perfect Protein salad from PCC (local co-op) and noticed it has spelt berries. They are a grain kernel, so does that automa...
Give a warm welcome to me!
Regaining Control
I've always been "soft." Even as a youth when I was a dancer and took 2-3 dance classes daily, I was always "soft." After I stopped dancing, I slowly started to gain weight unt...
