How is your DD going today? - Page 16

4- was kinda hungry and couldn't keep that busy since I was stuck inside. I'll take it though- Hope Sandy is kind to us.

Feel better really soon! I hate to wake up sick!!

Needless to say, he's lost 16lbs already

men !

I did the numbers for him, and helped with lunches (he does shakes for breakfast) and of course I mostly make dinners... I'm hoping after our vacation, he takes over making his lunches...

THe "every other day" mentality is a big thing, and DH didn't want to count calories, but it's not that hard (he's a techie, so we got him hooked up with some apps) so, I'll say so far, so good

S.

Thanks soren for your thoughts & ideas! I couldn't get him to watch the BBC film.

Maybe when I've been doing this longer & he gets to see how it works! He is so proud of all the weight I'm losing & even tho he needs to lose about 40 pounds himself?......owell.......

I just want to say--for anyone who really suffers on DD's--try Pat (so happy)'s method--eat 35-50 calories every hour for 10 hours. I am NEVER hungry any more on DD's--I always have a little treat to look forward to--I have my food/hr planned out for the day--none of the gritting my teeth to get thru a DD--

AND I think that this method is going to lead to more balance on my UD's. If I am not deprived and starving on my DD's, no need to overeat on my UD's, YKWIM?

just wanting to share--this is my 5th DD using Pat's method and I will never go back. I'm not like those folks who feel great not eating for hours--oh, sometimes I can do it, but I tend to feel dizzy and crummy--my blood sugar stays stable as a rock with this method.

sorenkkg · 10-29-2012, 06:50 PM

Ouiz-- I'm going to give it a try when I'm back from vacation, later in November. I need to make sure I have ingredients to prep all the mini meals, and right now I'm trying to clean out the fridge.

Do we have a thread of 50 cal servings? I know there's a 100 cal one, but I think it would be neat to have your suggested mini-meals listed out

DesertGurl · 10-29-2012, 07:05 PM

3 -- I survived my first DD. I have to say it was actually pleasantly ok to "feel" hungry. I like that I feel in control again!

Yay! The feeling of control only grows when the SIRTs kick in.

(except on those rare days they seem to take a vacation... but then JUDDD is a very forgiving WOE) Congratulations on finishing your first day!

ouizoid · 10-29-2012, 07:15 PM

Soren--I know that pat has published her list--I am very happy to publish mine: Just to give you an idea, here was today:

10am: yogurt/wf marshmallow dip/rhubarb: 50
11am: pumpkin/almond milk/sf maplesyrup: 50
12pm: salmon on magic crisp: 50
1pm: pickles rolled in turkey deli meat: 50
2pm: spicy v8: 35
3pm: chocolate tofu pudding: 45
4pm: chocolate tofu pudding: 45
5pm : 2 Tbs oatbran/2 Tbs oat fiber/sf brown sugar : 50
6pm: 1 Square 100%cacao: 50
7pm: sf fudgesicle: 40

sorenkkg · 10-29-2012, 08:47 PM

LOL Ouiz, some of those choices are really interesting!

I guess I have to figure out how much of something I like is 50... I know 1/2 serving of my greek yogurt would be 50, and I know 1 turkey pepperette is 50... I know 3oz of baby carrots is 30, and 1oz of cheese is usually 100.

Maybe I can do this Wednesday, just as an experiment... hmmm... I'll have to see how the storm goes, b/c I really don't have much in the house right now.

tay65 · 10-29-2012, 09:09 PM

After my last UD, I lost .3 & after my DD I lost .3 again. Really makes the struggle hard to deal with. Will see what the scale says in the morning.
Storm update in SW Pa.....getting kinda windy here and raining sideways at times! Rain running down our street like crazy, but we still have power. The night isnt over! The worst for us is still on its way.

Kissa · 10-30-2012, 01:41 PM

Hope you are all safe.

Tammy hang in there, patience is key.

Great DD today a full 5. I think my lovely fillet steak dinner last night will have been helpful in keeping me full.

tay65 · 10-30-2012, 03:16 PM

I'm here and trying to get thru this horrid DD! It's a 2!!!!
Made it thru the storm! Whew! What a windy night last night. Hope to not have that scare again any time soon.

sorenkkg · 10-30-2012, 03:17 PM

So, I thought for my last DD before I go on vacation

I'd give this every 2hrs thing a try.

Here's what I plan:

2hb eggs, 1T lite mayo, on 3 superthin kavli crackers. I can do 1/2 a cracker with the eggsalad on it

10am: 1/2 kavli with some egg salad - 59 cal

12pm: 1/2 kavli with some egg salad - 59 cal

2pm: 1/2 kavli with some egg salad - 59 cal

4pm: 1/2 kavli with some egg salad - 59 cal

6pm: 1/2 of a bag of broccoli slaw stirfried with 1/2 a chicken/artichoke sausage - 112cal

8pm: other half of above - 112 cal

9pm: 1c almond milk with davinci's

comes to 502 cal
25 g net

If every 2hrs doesn't work, I can have 1/2 the amt every hour... Just working with what I have in the house

ouizoid · 10-30-2012, 04:58 PM

kewl Soren! I want to hear how it goes for you. I really love the frequent small meals!

Joyjoy · 10-30-2012, 05:11 PM

Okay, I'm going to try the mini meal thing. When I first read it I thought, no way, ridiculous, absolutely not for me.
I should know by now (I eat dirt, I drink oily coffee) that I'm going to end up trying everything here.
Tomorrow. I'll report. Thanks.

ouizoid · 10-30-2012, 05:33 PM

for me, variety is key. Also, I notice it probably takes me 10 minutes to eat my little snack and then I am only 50 minutes away from the next meal, lol! Also, I am a shrink with 50 minute sessions/10 minutes in between, so the little snacks are awesome. I now have a long list (different, obvs, for home vs. office) of 50 calorie minimeals. I thought I would miss having a big dinner, but it is just the opposite--I am barely hungry for dinner when the 6 o'clock hour rolls around.

Joyjoy · 10-30-2012, 05:41 PM

Thanks for your encouragement, ouiz. I'll bet you're a beautiful shrink.

cici52 · 10-31-2012, 09:44 AM

Feeling much calmer than I have been lately. Third day w/o coffee. Yesterday was headachy but today okay. First DD in about a week is going well so far. Not particularly hungry. Eating about every 3 hours.

LoCarbGal · 10-31-2012, 12:01 PM

Cici, I'm glad you're feeling better, and calmer. I guess this is a big learning process for us all, how our bodies respond to different eating, foods, and even timing.

I'd say today is a solid 4, so far. I'm just now having my "breakfast" coffee w/cream, and it's noon, so that should help me get through the afternoon w/o much eating. I think I might wind up under 400 calories today - that'll be a first for me!

sorenkkg · 10-31-2012, 12:02 PM

I'd give it a 4.5 actually

Just posted in today's DD thread about my experience with the every 2hr meals... so far, so good.

Me, too, although the proof will be in how I feel at 9pm. Very interesting so far.

Jbinme · 10-31-2012, 02:23 PM

5!

I just want to thank Pat for sharing the idea for the many mini meals. DDs will never be the same. It's amazing that a little bite of something can hold me over for an hour before it's time for the next mini meal. Another great thing was that yesterday I didn't feel the need to over-stuff myself thinking about the hunger I'd feel today.
It is only my 2nd DD doing it this way so maybe it's too soon to be sure. I will weigh in the morning and see what happens with that. And I haven't gone through tom doing DDs this way but I'm pretty sure that I've found the way that I'll be able to continue doing JUDDD forever!

sorenkkg · 10-31-2012, 02:33 PM

I agree with Janette ^^^

I'll know more when I do this again after vacation, and through PMS/TOM is a great test.

Kissa · 10-31-2012, 02:38 PM

OMG Soren, isn't tomorrow vacation day?

sorenkkg · 10-31-2012, 03:10 PM

I leave Saturday, and Friday is a day off work to get ready (read: personal grooming

and mani/pedi with DH getting a pedi too! and then a makeover at MAC, and then dinner at our special restaurant, ostensibly for DH's birthday which is Sunday..)

Thursday is "like" vacation b/c we take the dogs to their sitter in the early evening, which means we don't have to walk them at 10pm, and I can start PACKING!!!

tee hee! tick, tock...

ouizoid · 10-31-2012, 03:12 PM

Janette--I had the same experience! My UDs are so much more sane now that I am doing the Pat Method! Since I don't feel deprived on DD's, I don't overcompensate on UDs--

Carly · 10-31-2012, 03:17 PM

5! I don't really struggle with DDs, but I'm so happy that eating a mini meal ever hour is helping so many JBs. I like not having to bother much with food on DD, but I may give it a try on a weekend DD.

I don't really struggle with DDs, but I'm so happy that eating a mini meal ever hour is helping so many JBs. I like not having to bother much with food on DD, but I may give it a try on a weekend DD.
