i was at the supermarket and i really wanted to buy sugar free candy but i put them back! stupid sugar free candy makes my cravings way worse and harder to resist

atherjen · 01-08-2004, 04:34 AM

smart move hun.. .those sugar free candys just tend to mess me up even more. i get this idea in my head that since they are sugar free then 10 wont bother... ughhh bad idea.

hardasnails1973 · 01-08-2004, 06:35 AM

Sugar free candy can make you crave more sugar becuase some of the ingredients cause a sugar spike after eaten

atherjen · 01-08-2004, 06:39 AM

HANS, what specific ingredients would be causing the insulin spikes?

(sorry for thread jacking)

Asparatame can cause swings in blood sugar levels and also if you take in enough you can poison your self. it destroys blood brain barrier and alters your ability to remeber short term info..I kow I had it happen and designer was nortorius for it

greekblondechic · 01-10-2004, 01:09 PM

JLB what r u trying and is it working?
Sapphire too bad water doesnt taste like diet soda :P

Yesterday 1/9/04

1 hr cardio

1/2c oatmeal 1.5 scoop protein

4oz deli turkey and chicken, salad, handful peanuts

1.5 scoop protein 1tbsp pb

box sf jello

Dinner at the Cheesecake Factory
LUAU SALAD
Fresh Slices of Grilled Chicken Breast Layered with Mixed Greens, Cucumbers, Green Onions, Red and Yellow Peppers, Green Beans, Mango and Crisp Wontons with Macadamia Nuts and Sesame Seeds. (took off the nasty fried cracker type things)
Tossed in Our Vinaigrette (got it on the side)

I DIDNT EAT ANY CHEESECAKE WOOHOO!!!!!!

greekblondechic · 01-10-2004, 01:13 PM

I cant stop smiling

JLB001 · 01-10-2004, 01:28 PM

OMG...Not the Cheesecake Factory! I LOVE that place! Godiva Choc. Cheesecake!!! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

ok...back to that question. The Ephedra free Hydroxycut, only because Craig works at the GNC close to here, so he gets the returns and brings them home. I actually prefer the stuff with ephedra, but its getting alot harder to find.
The Hydroxycut with Ephedra worked best on me, but also had good results with the Charge with Ephedra too. (I know the stuff is bad, but it worked).
If I don't like the results with the ephedra free stuff, I am thinking of just taking some ephedra with it.

greekblondechic · 01-10-2004, 01:29 PM

ok but just be careful!

and i wish i could get free supps, nice!!!

JLB001 · 01-10-2004, 02:57 PM

Not everything is free. We still have to buy protein powder, glutamine, mutli vitamins, etc. Noone ever returns them.

katie64 · 01-11-2004, 08:01 AM

Wow, you don't eat very much babe, did someone mention "CheeseCake Factory"

I have TrimSpa, Miracle w8 loss, but a mod suggested to me to just drink green tea, 3 cups a day, I take green tea supps, also, let me know if you find good results with whatever you choose

greekblondechic · 01-11-2004, 11:16 AM

Hi GBC!!!

Sorry to hear about your tummy!

I Hope you feel a little better!)

You were in a size 13/14?

But, it sure feels good though now to look back at that and know how well your doing today!! Dancing and having a great night out! The wonderful benefits that you can enjoy these day! Now, as for your 9/10 size, just keep at it dear and you'll get there! Well, as for dancing and not eating afterwards, what time was that and do you think you could've possibly have a protiein shake? Then again, I'm not sure what your day/night looked like that night. Sometimes when I'm out till' 2 am and then hit the bed at 4 am, I may take a protein shake (6-8oz)

Leslie · 01-11-2004, 06:23 PM

Looks like you are getting back on track.
Jbo is correct- stay away from the sugar. It will be painful, but eventually your taste buds get boring

I am the same as you- I have a hard time with "just a bite" too. Tasting any sugar usually sets me up for a downfall.

A trick I use is to brush my teeth....NOTHING tastes good after you brush

Good Luck!

atherjen · 01-11-2004, 06:30 PM

Keep it going hun, sounds as though youve made some great progress thus far! takes time..we're all here for you though!

Les, I do the same thing with brushing my teeth!

Good suggestion, Les!!!

In addition to what Leslie said, Gargle with listerine (original flavor) and trust me.... chocolate or anything does NOT taste good.
