Up Day troubles. Can someone help me? - Page 2

Portion size is important- another perk of prepackaged. Before JUDDD when I was doing low cal/low carb I was using a salad plate for my dinner plate to control portions. If I was very hungry 1 hour later I refilled the salad plate with lettuce and low cal dressing. After that I always felt satisfied. I also did what Cici did with 1 food that I could have an unlimited amount of. For me it was celery- crispy, crunchy and low cal. In the first few weeks I probably at 3-4lbs of celery a week, but I lost 10 pounds that way. I prefer JUDDD, but maybe those first 5 weeks of "training" got me prepared

Maybe in maintenance, I'll test the theory.

Oh, I tried it. Cindy made me.

If it works for you, I say by all means go do it.

I don't get why it crashes my flow?

The wine. Not the chili.

I too have had troubles with going over on my UDs. I just spent 3 days eating only potatoes and I believe I am ready to recommit to sensible UDs.
I think for me I will try to focus on only "one meal" being UD, and the rest of the day eat "healthier" with one snack.

It eats to be too much if I want eggs, bacon, cheese and toast for breakfast, then also pizza for dinner and ice cream for dessert. Can add up quickly. So if I fast, or eat a 200 cal breakfast, I have room for a fancy pasta dish that DBF and I make together, with 1 slice of French bread, and 1 serving of frozen yogurt.
Sometime even on a UD I will eat a progreso or Campbell's soup for 140 cal per can ( or less) just so I can fit in a decadent dinner.
I'm hoping I can get back to doing this. Wish you luck at finding what works for you as well!!

I agree totally. If I want a yummy calorie dense dinner I can not nibble all day even though it's an up day. I often eat a 90 calorie yogurt if I'm too hungry to fast till dinner and that will hold me. Even a 200 calorie, rich, creamy yogurt like some of the Muller or Chobani ones are delish and then I know I have plenty of room for dinner and a snack at bed time.

I'm not even Italian, but I got really worried about the corn, too. I won't let it effect our friendship

I must admit that I have put corn in chili before, and that was pretty good.

I'm not sure about corn in spaghetti sauce (sorry Dawn!) but I can see it in chili. I put it in taco soup, which isn't all that far from chili. YUM!

I know the corn sounds weird, and DH turned his nose up at it too . . . until he tried it. Now he loves it! The trick is to simmer your sauce until it's ready, cook your pasta, and at the last minute, right before you serve, throw in the frozen corn. It heats up but stays crisp and tastes so fresh and wonderful. I also like a meaty sauce with big chunks of onion.
