Week 2 Day 1

I am amazed and so happy I discovered Wendy Chants book. I believe it is going to change my life. Today is the first day of week 2 and I lost an amazing 8 pounds the first week. I know all of you already know this but I just had to praise this plan. I have been "dieting" for two years and week one has given me more hope than anything else I have tried in 2 years. Just wanted to comment.

Also, thanks for all the menus. I have NO imagination and these help very much with my meal planning.

[Quandria]

I didn't have a chance to prepare any food for work, so today is far from perfect.

M1 Morningstar Farm fake sausage patty, 1/3c egg beaters
M2 Cottage Cheese
M3 1 slice EZ bread, 1oz cheese, protein shake
M4 protein shake - may skip
M5 wild salmon patty, broccoli, salad with v and o
M6 May skip depending on when I go to bed, maybe HB egg or protein shake

Doesn't look to bad to me

it needs some veggies in the middle of the day for sure, but the little bit of 'bag-o-salad" I have remaining at work from last week looks anything but tasty

I bought raw nuts at whole foods yesterday to make the mix I keep in my purse for emergencies. It's taking superhuman strength today to not eat any of them! I'm usually not a snacky person, but man for some reason it sounds really good. But no no no!!! Have to remind myself that they have CARBS and are NOT a MEAL, and accelerated fat loss weeks worked really well for me last time, so not sabotaging them would be the way to go!!

[kelley17]

M1: Wendy's crepes w/banana extract, nutmeg and cinnamon and smidge of butter on each
M2: Mocha latte shake
M3: chick and broccoli stir fry
M4: cracked pepper turkey breast
M5: Taco salad sans taco w/ground turkey breast, lettuce, tomato, onion, sprinkle of cheese, salsa, and a spoonful of sour cream - yummy even without the taco chips!
M6: protein shake after callanetics

[willietheshu]

It would really be nice if everyone would use the codes P/O, P/V/O, etc on their meals. it really makes it easy to choose a quick meal when you are in a hurry. I'm new to the thread tonight. Started week 5 today and have lost 22 lbs and have NEVER been hungry one day!! As opposed to most people, I seem to be lethargic on my carb up days!! I kinda look forward to the carb down days now. Looking forward to lots of fat loss the next two weeks. thanks for all of the support.

Hi Willie - glad you are enjoying the thread. I think we all just know now what to eat, but you are right it will help any newbies that come looking. As for support you ain't seen nothing yet go to our challenge thread for the week - they started up in July but here is the latest one:

I LOVE those patties! I know you are a vegetarian and you have to substitute sometimes, but I think I may try it too! Do you recall the amount of protein in those?

Week 5 Day 1 Carb Down

M1: Protein Shake (I changed meal 1 and 2 around so I can get in an extra meal first thing in the morning)
M2: HB egg, mayo, left over BBQ chicken
M3: Cottage cheese, grilled sweet peppers, turkey breast, and EZ bread
M4: HB egg, mayo, cheese stick
M5: Fajitas, no totrilla
M6: Too tired

[Quandria]

I love them too, and they're so easy! The box says 3 carbs, 1 fiber, and 10g protein for 80 calories.

[Quandria]

I still haven't gone shopping

M1 mushroom and egg omelet
M2 cottage cheese
M3 tuna on ez bread
M4 HB egg and 1oz cheese

Thanks! I think I'll try it today. You've lost a good amount of weight, so it can't be too bad on this program, right?

[marymc]

Week 6 - Carb Down

M1: Omelet w/spinach, mushrooms and pepper jack cheese
M2: Cottage cheese
M3: Veggie (broccoli, onion, bell pepper, green beans), homemade broth based sauce stir fry w/3 ounces of leftover steak and ½ cup of jasmine rice
M4: Romaine lettuce leaf w/3 ounces of deli turkey breast, mayo and shredded cheese
M5: Grilled chicken breast, steamed green beans, side salad w/vinegar and oil dressing
M6: Vanilla Protein shake w/Raspberry SF Da Vinci’s syrup

wildcat, I'm a meatetarian myself, but I love the soy based veggie products. I really love the Boca and Gardenburger veggie burgers and you can usually rely on Morningstar products to be good overall. I even got my hubby to eat a Grillers veggie burger once and he had no idea!

As far as posting the P/V/O etc. I don't think that it's necessary. You can pretty much look at somebody's menu and tell the P/V/O etc. And, because we can add a V at any P meal, and also use O at any meals - keeping the fats in the daily range - and have starch at breakfast or lunch, well, I think it might just be more confusing. I don't want anybody to think my menu is gospel. Just remember, follow the sample menus for the Cycle you are on, make the appropriate substitutions, Baseline Days contain 2 starches before 3, Carb Down is 1 starch before 3 and that is really the basic plan.

I don't see how it can be much different from the meat in Wendy's egg cheeseburger but I don't know for sure I didn't look too hard at the meat recipes . Plus it's my standard when I'm rushed in the morning and don't feel like a protein shake:

spray a microwavable coffee cup with non-stick spray. drop in a veggie sausage patty, add 1/3 to 1/2 cup of egg beaters, or two scrambled regular eggs. Microwave on high for 120 seconds (I think I incorrectly said 90 seconds last time I posted this, oops...sorry). It will puff up, but don't worry it will go back down when the microwave shuts off. Adjust the time based on your own microwave. Plop onto EZ bread (or English Muffin for the kids, or half a bagel if you're carb-up that day) or onto a plate, or stab it with your fork and eat it like an sausageggsicle and go go go.

I agree about the PVO, I'd hate to be completely accountable for whether my menus are EXACTLY on plan or counted correctly, half the time I don't really know what I'm doing...just look at the plate and think "oh yeah I should add a fat" or "oh there should probably be some veggies here".

On the Boca burgers, my son used to ask all the time "is this real meat" as we were eating together, as though I'd suddenly start eating meat without saying anything, hahahaha. He really couldn't tell the difference sometimes. They're a great resource to have on hand in the freezer for days when you're out of ideas. I've used them on many occasions as my one-minute solution to the question "what protein should I have because right now I'm sick to death of eggs and tuna"

Add some garlic salt or some kind of seasoning or a little bit of salsa if you're using egg beaters, they're blaaaaaaaaaaaaand!!!

I haven't tried Boca. We can eat those and Garden Burgers? I guess I never really thought about those. They're made of soy?
