Listen to all you guys! Sara just isnt a

sara · 04-16-2004, 08:18 PM

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

sara · 04-16-2004, 08:52 PM

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

..

Cate · 04-16-2004, 09:39 PM

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

sara · 04-16-2004, 10:07 PM

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?

sara · 04-16-2004, 10:08 PM

You did have some great results for 1 month period

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

atherjen · 04-18-2004, 08:32 AM

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.

greekblondechic · 04-18-2004, 09:50 AM

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?

greekblondechic · 04-18-2004, 11:53 AM

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.

sara · 04-18-2004, 12:02 PM
