The P2 AND P3 thread! :)

[SunnyFL]

Good luck on your Fat Fast Jeanette!!!

I think you're body is gonna be like Oh yea! LOL...

It's fun to keep the fat up up up and carbs down down down

I'm still undecided about lunch...I might do greek yogurt with some HWC and a dallop of all natural peanut butter or chicken salad again...hmmm...decision decisions!

Shopping again for shoes, I seriously have an addiction...to shopping....for shoes and clothes...and now that I've lost weight, Lord help me!

[MemoryKeeper]

The best part is I'm not hungry! Wow, I've forgotten what this feels like! LOL!

I used to tell my sister when she was shoe shopping, it was "The thrill of victory, and the agony of da-feet!" LOL!

[MemoryKeeper]

It was pretty good, but needed more sweetener. Here's the recipe that found on the fat fast thread (my changes are in parenthesis):

I found these on another forum by a user named cd_moree. Not sure of the origination...if anyone knows feel free to add.

1 8oz pkg of cream cheese softened (12 oz of cream cheese)
1 egg (2 eggs)
2 tbsp of cocoa powder (3 T of special dark cocoa powder)
5 packets of Splenda (3 T of Ideal Xylitol sweetener - needs to be at least 6)
1 tsp vanilla
(1/4 t. salt)

*Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly.
*I sprayed 12 brownie bar silicone muffin liners with cooking spray.

Bake at 350 deg. for 20 minutes, turn oven off and let brownies cool in oven and dry out a bit more.

Melt Natural crunch PB with Xylitol, and make whipped cream with HWC for toppings.

Approximate calories - 500 with toppings
Fat - 67%
Carbs - 16%
Proteins - 17%

I had bacon for lunch....I'm weird I know. I also had one brownie plain, and 2 brownies with toppings.

Hope your days are going equally as well.

[SunnyFL]

Were they like a fudge type of brownie?

I made a chocolate cheesecake-heavy cream mousse thingie for lunch lol...it was good! Trying to up my fat...harder than it looks!

I need something salty for dinner...too much rich stuff for breakfast and lunch...is it weird I am ok with returning to P2 on Monday? LOL...

I hope I lose a pound tomorrow...we shall see!

[star a.d.]

if I continue the fat fast on monday, I'ma have bacon too.

[SunnyFL]

I'm having tuna salad with mayo and a slice of bacon for dinner

[MemoryKeeper]

Not fudgey at all. More like creamy. Definitely not sweet enough for me, I would add the extra sweetener.

I'm with you. This has been a totally weird round, and I'm getting to where I don't care anymore. That's why I have to do something. If I don't get back down from the fat fast, I will quit taking the injections (Monday will be my last day). I think I will still have to pay for it, unfortunately. Oh well, my mental health is more important!!!

[RileyWorm]

Memory keeper, Thanks for sharing the recipe! I MUST find dark chocolate cocoa powder! All of you doing the fat fast, please keep us updated on the fat faster's thread. I love to see menus, ideas, and success most of all! I started my 2nd fat fast today. Not totally prepared, it was a last minute decision, but going to have cream cheese muffins (wish I had all the stuff to make the recipe above!), eggs with butter, maybe bacon, and I'll definitely squeeze in peanut butter too~

[C'Marie]

Holy Moly, I'm gonna have to get out of this thread! Am I the only one not doing the fat fast? ARG.... LOL

Good luck to all you but I can't see what you're eating hahahahaha---I will come back and check for all the recipes when I am done, I guess, cuz Jeanette you are rockin' those! Looks YUMMY!

I am down a bit more, after going out for dinner last night with the fam and having petite sirloin and raw spinach, then later having celery and strawberries and tea while the rest of the fam had my birthday cake and made icky faces to be supportive! LOL I love my fam!

I am now only 5+ pounds from virgin weight. I'm not sure how many more shots I have, I didn't preload syringes, theoretically I should have 8 -10 more shots? maybe? and I am considering, only considering, mind you, extending the round to 40 using pellets after my shots are gone. Depends how I'm losing. I really want to get to the virgin weight and go a little below it if I can. Not sure where that setpoint is - but I will just monitor how I feel. Getting super busy at work now, which is kinda hard to not eat but then on the other hand I get so busy I don't eat anyway.

[MemoryKeeper]

Marie, I didn't think I would either, but desperate times call for desperate measures...LOL! You're going to get to VFT I'm sure!!!! I have a LONGGGGG way to go before then!

I'm cooking skin-on chicken thighs in the leftover bacon grease from earlier. They smell delicious! Here's hoping they are super delicious! If perfect crispiness is reached, I'll take pictures!

Oh they will be! I ALWAYS cook them this way and they just don't taste as good without the bacon grease! Having these tomorrow!

[MemoryKeeper]

Shelbyyyyyyyyy! I got the idea from you! I should have said! They are delicious! I tried not to add salt though because of the bacon, but they need a touch! Super crispy goodness!

Now THAT'S some serious will power! Happy birthday, BTW! And way to resist the cake, NO WAY I could have done that on my birthday! LOL!

[SunnyFL]

Today is my last Fat Fast day, tomorrow is strict P2...yes I'm even omitting my hwc...figure I'll do P2 until Thursday, then start P3 on Saturday. Sunday is my anniversary and we may go away for the weekend so I want to be able to celebrate!

Have a good day ladies!

[MemoryKeeper]

Good morning PEEPS! I had a 2.0 pound loss this morning, THANK GOD! I am still up a few pounds, but hope my 1000 calorie FF today will help!

192.0 this morning (I am still up 3.5 over the last few days).

Hope you all are losing too!

Awesome! Doesn't it feel so good to have such a big drop. Especially after not losing for a while!
Keep it up! Just ordered myself a couple Victoria Secret bras. I hope they fit! Unfortunately, I lost weight in places I didn't want to!
Have a great day! Lyn

[SunnyFL]

Lyn, it's funny you mention that! I had a boobie reduction in July, from a 38DDD to I think a small "C"...I am not sure...yes I know I SHOULD find out my cup size but all I wear are those stretchy bras that just come in S,M, or L...and sports bras.

Well I swear they are smaller now LOL....I'm like NOOOOO!!!! I don't need you to shrink! Granted the shrinkage is minimal and I think it's just my imagination because they look the same and I was the type where i would lose back size but not boob size. My bras fit the same cup wise, but band is big. Which means I have to buy a whole new set of bras
I can't wear underwire, so back I go to stretchy bras lol...I think I am now a 34 back...I'm on the smallest hook on the 36 band widths.
I never wore Victorias Secret bras because I was so big the underwire hurt! I should look into them, wearing sexy bras FINALLY for the first time in my life sounds fun!
But I am NOT complaining...I love my itty bitties

What style did you get? I can't get underwire because they hit my incision and the girls still ache

[BaileysGirl]

Morning Ladies! Sounds like ya'll are doing great on the FF!! WOOT!! IF I need it in R3 I know ya'll will help me!

P3D6 and am .5 above my LDW at 190.5. I seem to be stabilizing like a ROCK again! Thank you Lord! I did perfect yesterday until I got to my Mom's. They fixed Chicken Parm, Ceasar salad and of course garlic bread with it. Everything was legal except the bread. I had about a 3 inch slice. They also had key lime pie for dessert but I said NO! I even put the cool whip on top but still said NO!

Anyway been thinking about my WINE! I didn't make it to the grocery store last night on my way home, was too tired. So I've got to run to CVS to pick up a perscription so that AF doesn't visit and thought I might hit up Kroger for a few things on my WalMart list. I'll get my bottle of Sauv Blanc that I'm dying to try! At 0.7 carbs for 5oz I better like it!

Have a great Sunday girls!

B - 2 eggs/hwc scrambled w/ cheese, 2 sausage patties w/ sf syrup, 2 slices of bacon, sf mocha capp w/ hwc/sf caramel syrup
L - Sherri's creamy southwestern soup w/ a dollop of sour cream
D - taco salad w/ turkey meat, cheese, sour cream, jalapenos, onions, tomatoes, little avocado
S - cold apple

I had a 2 lb whoosh after fat fast day 1. am now officially doing it tomorrow too! I was going to just have cream cheese clouds all day, but my stomach isn't down with it, so now I'm deciding what to have instead of the other half of them! p2 all week, probably another day or two of fat fast next weekend, p2 for another couple of days, then onto P3.

[BaileysGirl]

HEY GIRLS! I'M INTERESTED IN MAKING SOMETHING SWEET! I couldn't find the coconut flour yet. I was thinking about the mug cake w/ almond flour? HELP! Give me a recipe! These are the ingredients I have on hand:

almond flour

erythritol
truvia
vanilla extract
cocoa powder
lemon/lime juice
strawberries
heavy whipping cream

I do not have any of the liquid sweetners or any other sweetner besides what I have listed above.

[SunnyFL]

So stopping my pellets Thursday and then P3 starts Saturday, do I have that right?

Mix egg whites with electric mixer until soft peaks form. Slowly add the erythritol and stevia to the egg whites with mixer on medium-high. Continue to whip the egg whites and sweeteners for a few minutes. Then, add the vinegar to the bowl. Increase speed to high and whip until egg whites form stiff peaks.

Chop pecans and fold into egg white mixture. Drop by teaspoons onto a cookie sheets that have been lined with parchment paper or a non-stick silicon mat.

Put the cookie sheets in the 300°F oven, close the door and turn the oven OFF. Leave them in the oven overnight. In the morning they should be done – crisp on the outside, light and airy on the inside. If they are a little chewy on the inside in the morning, let them dry out for a few more hours until crisp.

easy peasy!

grind up some pecans, mix with almond flour, a pinch of salt, about a tablespoon of erythritol, and then add enough melted butter to make it sort of like a dough. press into a pie plate. bake for 10 minutes at 375.

beat two packages of cream cheese with 1/3 - 1/2 c truvia. beat in two eggs, 2 tsp vanilla and about 1/3 cup HWC. pour onto crust, bake at 375 for about a half hour, or until mostly set.

while that is baking, mash up some strawberries with truvia. you can leave it like that, or let it sit for awhile, then strain to make coulis.

there you go...cheesecake! if you don't have eggs, make the crust, but bake for closer to 15 minutes, and cool it. make cheesecake mousse: equal parts cream cheese and HWC! BUT, beat the cream cheese with sweetener and flavourings first, then add the cream, and beat until it's like a mousse. either spoon it into the cooled crust, or break up the crust and use it as a crumble topping.

also: you can make chocolate sauce out of truvia, cocoa powder, and HWC.

[BaileysGirl]

I am sitting here eating my first ever MUG CAKE! It's not bad. I followed the recipe you posted except using almond flour. It's not sweet and I would prefer it a little sweeter. I think I'll add more erythritol next time. I wonder if adding a little sf caramel syrup to the batter would be okay? I'm def going to find the coconut flour. I think it will be much better. I love the spongy cake like texture! It's very chocolately and I'm more of a non choco-holic. Wonder what other variations we could do? Thanks Sunny!

[star a.d.]

jeannette's recipes sound great too!

That is a great plan...I still over ate on my FF today, but I feel so good about it. I like what you wrote on the FF thread, it summed up my feelings perfectly! Thanks so much!

Wishing a whoosh for everyone!

[BaileysGirl]

OMG STAR! I'm writing all this down now! Thanks for more great tips!!!

[MemoryKeeper]

One more Natasha:

Low Carb Tiramisu

Cake:
Unsalted butter
½ cup Blanched almond flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
⅛ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons erythritol
⅛ teaspoon stevia extract
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract
⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar

Custard:
6 egg yolks
2 Tablespoon granular erythritol
1-2 drops stevia glycerite
8 ounces mascarpone cheese
1 ¾ cups heavy or whipping cream
¼ cup strong coffee or espresso
1-2 Tablespoons rum or brandy

Cake:
Grease a 11×7 inch pan with butter. Line with parchment paper and grease with butter again. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Combine the almond flour, baking powder and salt. Separate the eggs. With an electric mixer, beat the yolks and Truvia until thick and lemon colored. Beat in the vanilla, almond extract and cream of tartar. Fold in the almond flour. With a clean bowl and beaters, beat the egg whites to firm peaks. Stir 1/4 into the almond mixture. Fold in 1/2 of the remaining whites until barely combined and then the remaining 1/2 until thoroughly combined. Spread evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the top springs back when pressed lightly. Let cool.

Custard:
In small mixing bowl, beat egg yolks, erythritol and stevia until thick and lemon colored. Place mixture in top of a double boiler over boiling water. Reduce heat to low. Cook 8-10 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add mascarpone cheese, beating well. In a small mixing bowl, beat heavy or whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into egg yolk mixture; set aside.

Assembly:
Cut the almond cake into 16 fingers. Combine the rum and espresso in a small bowl. Sprinkle the bottom of a 9×5 bread pan lightly with cocoa then line with half the almond cake fingers. Using a brush, lightly coat the cake fingers with the espresso mix being careful not to get them too wet. Spread on 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture and dust the top with cocoa. Repeat the layers. End with a sprinkling of cocoa. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Makes 8 servings
