PM- I dont go with the insulin spike either.
but if Sara chooses to do so then thats her choice. I dont see the need for it either and havent done high GI for a long time. Id personally stick with something lower.

Good Morning AJ- I'm not going to use Rice cakes as a PWO carb source.. I will stick wtih the whole wheat crackers (ingridients: whole wheat crackers, salt) and add some fruits


Posted by: ncgirl21

Your doing good hun!! So, how do you like the new diet?


Posted by: sara

Thanx ncgirl21
I'm doing great with the new diet, still little paranoid of eating any carbs.. sticking with the healthiest carbs, even though the trainer said it was ok to eat any carb I want..


Posted by: ncgirl21

I'd stick with the healthy carbs too, if I ate anyone I wanted it would SURELY lead me to a binge!! Smart Girl!!


Posted by: sara

I would eat any carbs when I'm eating out..
I can go up to 2200 calories (cheat day) once a week..


Posted by: sara

I didn't want to start a new thread on one question..
Are all processed food considered to be high in GI?
like for example whole wheat bread, whole wheat crackers, packet organic Rice cereal, or granola


Posted by: atherjen

the more processed it is the higher GI it is IMO.
personally I would try and stick the the least minimal processed food choices if you can.

2200 girl? damn thats nothing!!


Posted by: aggies1ut

Haha. I'm 5 feet tall and used to consume 2500 a day.

Listen to all you guys! Sara just isnt a




Posted by: sara

I can be a big and eat a 5 Lbs. of Nuts


Posted by: sara

I dunno, I'm just afraid that what I'm doing with the new diet plan is just not going to work to decrease my body fat ..


Posted by: Cate

Hey Sara - I was worried about the same. I was on Weight Watchers for a while, which is very low cals/fat. I also tried to eat fewer carbs.

Anyway, when I started (1 month ago) I weight 125 and had 18.2%bf. Today I was 126 and 15.8%.

The point is you have to trust it's going to work. When I was told to eat 17-1800 cals, I almost died, but it was nice to eat again and it worked . Trust the program...if it was totally out there someone here would say


Posted by: sara

Thanks Cate- that made me feel better
I'm just worried because my protein intake is low now.. how is that going to help me lose body fat?


Posted by: sara

You did have some great results for 1 month period

I had 3 Papya enzyme chewy pills.. I hope this helps


Posted by: atherjen

EAT MORE girlie!!!!!!! its a no wonder you didnt get enough food in- your second meal wasnt even a meal!

watch out for those chewable Papaya enzymes-they are FULL of sugar! get the capsules instead.
you may want to consider getting a full spectrum digestive enzyme instead.


Posted by: greekblondechic

Drink some hot tea.. peppermint ginger and fennel help best!

[
B]AJ- Meal 2 was at work, and I don't have a break to eat a meal [/b]

watch out for those chewable Papaya enzymes-they are FULL of sugar! get the capsules instead.
I know My mom bought them for me.. I'll stop using them the last 2 I had was with my second meal this morning (my PWO meal) they have 2 grams of sugar in 4 pills

you may want to consider getting a full spectrum digestive enzyme instead.

what is that?

Green Hot Tea? how does the peppermint ginger come? and what is fennel?


Posted by: greekblondechic

2 grams of sugar wont hurt u.

green tea is good, peppermint OR ginger both help with digestion, fennel is some type of plant and it helps with bloating too, but hot teas in general help relax your stomach muscles to feel better

by full spectrum enzyme i think she means something w/ more types of enzymes in it, since papaya is just one.

Jill- my meals are filling me up I just feed my hunger and not over my hunger..
What's wrong with protein bars on a mini cheat meal? they so yummy..



Posted by: aggies1ut

If you're gonna have a planned cheat, go all out. Hell, JMO.


Posted by: greekblondechic

Protein bars are considered legal in my diet

aggies1ut- Right now, being so busy with school, work.. I don't have the time to go out and eat.. Soon you'll see some cheat meals eating out

Better to eat a protein bar than attack the vending machine when hunger hits at school

I can be eating all the yummy bad stuff at home, cakes, pies, bagels, chocolates, breads etc.. and might end up over-eating..

oh, and I don't like pizza

See I personally have to disagree here. This is how my habit of binging started. I would plan cheats and go "off my diet" and basically just pig out like crazy. I think its better to cheat in moderation, maybe a slice of cake, etc.

Exactly! and If you eating out.. you can have a cheat meal, and food will be limited


Posted by: M.J.H.

See, that's exactly what I meant. Just don't eat out at a buffet.

MontStar- I'll try not to eat out.. and if I did, it will be clean and limited..
for now, I'm keeping my weekly cheat meals (protein bars), or maybe a fruit and good amount of a new cereal

That's crazy sara, because protein bars are absolutely not even close to cheat meals for me, lol. I eat them on a daily basis almost like they're regular old food. Also fruit I eat on a daily basis, etc. Cheating for me is mixed drinks, or maybe cheesecake, etc.

I eat fruits all the time! I love fruits..I'm saying eating some fruits with my mini cheat protein bar or cereal will fill me up!

Oh okay, I had no idea that you were my age. Nice to see so many people who take training/diet seriously at our age here at IM. Keep up the hard work sara, I'll continue checking your progress.

Sara- you know how overeating on the cereal and such led to binges before? this is what the whole new plan was about- balanced nutrition... fit those things that you want occasionally into your plan. your still not eating quite enough as the plan had outlined. . . although I am impressed that your eating more carbs finally

1535, your getting up there!

AJ- I'm saying for a cheat meal I would like cereal and the fruits so I won't end up binging.. but I'll stick with the protein bars for now
Thanks hon

It's amazing looking at what you eat on a daily basis compared to what I eat. I think that I would pass out because I was starving if I only took in 1,500 calories! Diet is definitely looking good though sara, keep it up.

I made the french toast with egg whites, some milk, cinnamon and the ezekiel bread.. and used cooking spray for the pan..


How are YOU feeling with this overall plan? cravings, energy, etc?!
I'm feeling great with the new plan.. sometimes I wake up flat and other days I wake up little bloaded.. I know I'm allowed to eat whatever I want as long as I stay with my cal maintaince.. but I like the healthy food better I just still can't believe the amount of carbs I'm eating and how they add up so fast!!!
-- I still have some junkie cereal and nuts cravings, but I can handle it

2 slices of ezikiel bread = 30 carbs
if you still counting you'r carbs you can use some low carb bread and have 3-4 slices

I don't feel comftrobale without counting the cals in my cheat meal
Next time, I will count it just like counting every other meal

I love Corn Flakes Cereal.. it's fat free, but the Carbs are the bad carbs


Posted by: Jill

Nice cheat, very minor. I might have a smal cheat meal myself this weekend too!


Posted by: sara

well, I had lots of cereal
didn't measure.. but 1 cup of cereal is about 120-150 cals.. so even if I had more than 1 cup it's ok
I just feel guilty not knowing how much cals I took in that cheat meal


Posted by: Cate

Hey Sara - dont worry about counting the cheat, you need those days off mentaly and physically. I take Sat off totally and eat well during the day and have drinks and small cheats in the evening. It totally helps me not be obsessive.

I will have a killer cheat this Sat....for my shower/bach party


Posted by: sara

Hey Cate- well, my sister is coming to visit and I know we going to take her out next week, so I know I'm going to cheat eat out.. or maybe take a protein bar or something.. that's still going to count as a cheat meal for me


Posted by: sara

Anyone knows how I can get rid of all the fat , air in my lower tummy? I swear it doesn't match my body..
when I was down to 105 lbs. last summer from foot accident.. I was so skinny people were concerned of how skinny I was.. but I had the huge lower tummy.. always!! tried everything and nothing worked.. avoided sodium, had lots of water and still have it

Alright, that's it! Aggie, if you are having such a problem with people eating too little, I think you should stay out of peoples journals. I don't know how trying to make yourself feel better by using that rolling eye smilie and racking down on people is working for you, but it's getting old to us! If I rememeber it correctly, you were trying to get out of starving yourself as well, so maybe you should try to show some support instead of being a smart ass..

'Nough said


Posted by: aggies1ut

I was only offering a possible explaination to a distention of the belly. I don't mean to put anyone down or to "make myself feel better. " Everyone has their own problems and issues in life. Sorry for offending you or anyone else.


Posted by: Jenny

Well, I wasn't just refering to that post.. There have been quite a few like them and I think you know that. I understand that you want to help, but we are quite a few who agree on the fact that you are being rude and hurtful to people in the journals sometimes. I've experienced it too. We just want you to maybe think a little more before posting. I didn't mean to be rude to you either and I'm sorry if I was a little rough.

Jenny- I don't mind aggie thinking that I'm starving myself... because I know myself better than her and I don't really care if she thinks I'm starving myself.. because I'm eating 6 meals..

aggie- How can I be starving myself and eating 6 small meals? You can be make coments as much as you want in my journal and it won't bother me.. because I only listen to few people's comments here.. (experts like Jodi, AJ, and J'Bo)

Jenny- Thanks

Hey Sara- how did the doc's go? I hope well!

are you taking any fish oil caps at all?? I see your still going lower fat, but even so I think you need some EFA's in there, and the fish oil would be superior to add in!

OH and on the green tea-- I like to make iced green tea sorta the same. but Ill cool the tea, add in a couple juiced lemons and stevia(or splenda if you use that). its very refreshing!

AJ- I'll see the doctor next Thursday

I'm taking fish oil caps.. sometimes like last night I had 2 fishies

I don't mind drinking the green tea just plain with some ice.. lemon sounds like a good idea if I get bored from the plain taste of green tea..I don't own any splenda or stevia sugar.. I don't believe that my body needs it.. so why buy it? I just like some jello sometimes and SF Mints, Gum, and more mints

Yes, I haven't seen my sister for a year.. she is visiting with her baby and my brother in law

whats Baklava?

It's a very high fat high sugar dessert.. made with sugar and nuts
it's worse than krispey cream donuts..

Im glad that you dont feel you need the sweetners! Im impressed!

I try to limit the artificial sweetners

if you can try and get in at least 6 of those fishy caps!
