[mom23kids]

Ok, just ran to the store and bought 4 dozen eggs I've decided to go right into an egg fast today but I'm really going to try and get in as many as possible, to get my calories up. I also bought butter, mayo and sour cream, to get in the calories and fat. I'll be doing some experimenting with these and eggs!

Breakfast was 4 small/medium eggs (I have 1dz eggs from my fil's chickens-will try and use these up today and then start using the store bought ones tomorrow), in 1tbsp butter, crazy salt and then a generous portion on hot sauce

Day One of my egg fast
Starting weight: 147lbs and dealing with pms bloat

B- 2 eggs and 3 rashers of bacon, coffee with hwc and 1 splenda

D: 4 oz taco meat w/ salsa/rotel dip/sourcream

17 8oz cups water - Had water late into the evening. I do not normally drink much after 7pm, this might be what contributed to my upswing today. I think it could be the salty taco meat also. Or just my body saying ENOUGH FOR NOW.

I did use the baking soda trick, but I think I tried to peel them too soon. I had better success than usual, but still some meat sticking to the shell. So I am letting them cool and then going to try again. I also wondered if I should put more than 1 tsp, because I boiled 18.

Right now my favorite is fried o/m and devilled.

I'd put a few tsps in. I honestly didn't measure, I just poured a lil in the water. I did run cold water on them and put them in an ice bath for a bit. Hope that helps more!

Oh and by the way... your losses have been phenomenal!!! Way to go lady

So far I've had: 2 boiled eggs for breakfast and 2 for lunch, and probably 2 fried eggs for supper. If you'd like to start a new thread, that would be fine with me.

Cheers for the
Eggcited!

Good luck ladies you can do it!!
I'd be afraid to cut out salt because I get really weak and feel sick while doing VLC. So if you start feeling icky, a hefty dose of salt might make you feel better again. Everyone is so different so you might feel great the whole time...


Erika, Good luck to you also!!! This is really all about finding what works best for us. I'm still struggling with eating on plan! Just cause I'm at goal doesn't mean I can go all out and eat crap! Maintaining is so hard

[Snoangel]

Hello ladies

So I told myself that since it was a new year it was time to stop eating all the holiday foods and get back to what I love the most, MEAT hah well that hasn't happened yet.
There's a couple factors that come into play, one is that I have been staying at my BF's (he has lots of roomies) and haven't been able to cook any food, the other is that I've been stressed about some really sad family issues that bring up issues from years ago...
That made me realize i'm somewhat of an emotional eater, wahhh! ok ima snap outta that now haha! Life is too great to dwell on what we can not change!

Since i'm having a major problem with sweets and carbs right now and trying to maintain, which I actually am, I bought a big container of greek yogurt and some granola. Bad! but better than cake and such, so it's a start.

Today I'm looking at a nice apartment that has taken me a YEAR to find so I'm VERY excited!!!! I'm praying it's the one and I can call it home.
Then I'll be able to cook...YAY
There will be no excuse and I can get my life and eating habbits back on track...and back to taking photos of all my low carb creations. How fun!

[Erika1962]

Joanne...Nice drop there!

Leangirl...Thanks! Now if I could only bust throught that 168 this week! Way to go on the half pound drop!

Becky...Don't sweat it, we all have days like that, trust me if anyone knows it's me, I been craving for the past 6 months Enjoy an off day and climb back on the wagon tomorrow

Cindy...I am glad the scale is finally cooperating again, I know how frustrating it can be, especiall when being good!

Lori...It's definately the late water consumption, just takes a few extra tinkles!! LOL

Oceana...The sweets and carb cravings definately have something to do with the cold season. I didn't crave any of that stuff in the summer, but I also ate tons of fruits and salads, now I can't eat any of that stuff because I'm always cold, I just want warm comfort food and then lay in bed and eat garbage

[mom23kids]

Soooo, I ate around 12 eggs today I read a bunch of other threads on the egg fast on other sites and this seemed to be the norm of what people were doing. I think I over did it a bit I also had butter, mayo, mustard, hot sauce, sour cream and 1tbsp of bacon bits. Calorie wise I think I came in at around 1,600 for the day, so actually pretty close to a normal JUDDD UD for me. I'm very curious to see what the scale says tomorrow-part of me thinks I may be up in weight tomorrow I'm feeling very bloated/overfull right now (a dozen eggs will do that to ya ). I don't know if I'll do it again tomorrow-we'll see how I feel lol.

[lindawell8]

Hi, want to do the meat and egg fast. But need to know if I can eat fat bombs and CO. Have been doing the 80% 15% 5%. But want to speed up weight loss if I can. Thank you.

[Moonlights]

Hi guys, great to see this thread still going.

I lost a ton megging before xmas but now have a 3 week xmas gain to lose, so I'll be megging again from tomorrow. I actually started yesterday back on my regular low carb plan but I have some cheese and asparagus to use up before I can do the pure meat and egg thing.

I noticed people were calling this low calorie - it isn't usually for me. I use lots of butter and oil and i'm fairly sure this helps my loss as well as keeping me satisfied with what I eat.

So today I'm having some cheese and veggies along with my steak dinner but tomorrow I have a whole chicken ready to roast.

[Erika1962]

Mom23kids...I'm right behind you with 9 eggs LOL, 3 boiled ones for lunch and 6 scrambled with hwc and some creamcheese for dinner

Linda...Welcome! I have 2 tbs of CO every day and I think so do the others, I don't know what fat bombs are though.

Moonlight...Welcome back! M/E fast is fore sure the best way to get rid of the holiday bloat, it took me just a little over a week to flush out 12 pounds!

Ok, third day of M/E for me today, tomorrow carbup day, I really want to know if there is any truth behind the carb cycling

Good Morning!

Linda! and Back Midnight! Like the name "megging"
If I recall, fat bombs are basically cream cheese with sweetner? Some of the ladies have cream cheese so I guess it is a trial and error thing!

Erika, snoangel, Lori, Portcop, Cindy and leangirl! Hope I didn't miss anyone!

Mom23kids I'm clucking right behind you with 8 eggs!

OK..I have to whine a little..I'm getting tired of eggs!...but I'm not getting sick of getting on the scale and seeing it go down...so...I'll continue...but Friday is definitely my last day!!!!

1/7/13: 145.8
1/8/13: 144.4

Hope everyone has a great ME day!

[LoriAS]

Yesterday I had a HUNGRY day! I could not stop eating!!! I am considering the egg only fast, but I just don't know if I can do that for more than a couple of days!

D: 2/3 of OMM and 2 T cream cheese
S: 3 (whole) devilled eggs

10 8oz cups water - I did cut back on the water consumptin after 6PM, but I think the extra food (read wings ) sabatoged a bigger weight loss. I'll take .2 though .

[Cindy-lou]

Good Morning Ladies!! and to all you "Lurkers"

This board is lighting up like a (hate to say it ) christmas tree

Well I increased my eggs to 3 or 4 boiled eggs for breakfast and it's working down again this morning...so thats 2.6lbs in 3 days

Erika - your numbers are going in the right direction

Lori- could the TOM be coming around the corner? or maybe try increasing your breakfast?

Oceana-When will you find out about the apartment? Maybe your body is looking for a little more carbs now that your at goal?

Sara - 12 eggs wow!! I love eggs the most I have had was probably 7 lol

Linda- I am sure you could do the fatsbombs... I have hwc in my coffee sometimes 3 times a day

Moonlight-Welcome back...I definitely did NOT do low carb...I had lots of butter and lots of mayo everyday lol

Joanne-congrats on the numbers... it seems to be working!!

Hope I didn't miss anyone

[portcop01]

Morning all had a rough night set up with a friends here husband was on hospic and sad to say he passed away at 1:30 this morning was very stressful to have to watch that so I got home around 4 this morning...so today I'm back on meat and eggs I must do this I love eggs and meat.....

[Leangirl]

-2 lbs today woohoo finally broke the plateau jeeZ
Ill update later and good job everyone
Be back after work!

[Moonlights]

So sorry to hear your news Becky, It's good of you to be there through it.

wow so many eggs being eaten on this board. I usually only have maybe 6 eggs a week, but I may try upping it a little. I definitely couldn't do the pure egg fast though, I'd get sick of them too fast.

Weirdly I am really craving meat today. Typically as breakfast/lunch was veg and cheese. Going to have steak (and eggs!) shortly to tap that craving.

Does anyone here do pulled or shedded pork (or any kind of pork) in a crockpot/slow cooker? What cut of pork do you use and what liquid do you put in with it, please? I just bought a slow cooker today and am plotting what to cook in it. Lots of meltingly soft beef and pork hopefully, yummy.

[mom23kids]

Down 1.5lbs this morning But, I'm also totally burned out on eggs lol. I could see myself doing a one day egg fast once or twice a month

[Joannew]

Becky sorry to hear that

WTG on your losses, leangirl and Sara!

Thanks Cindy! Hope it continues!

[portcop01]

Good Job

Moonlights- I know it's too late for your recipe but keep it for next time

spices:
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons ground mustard seed

then mix together
1/2 Low sugar ketchup
splenda brown sugar(to taste)
vinegar(to taste)

[portcop01]

How many of you use mayo?

[Cindy-lou]

I use mayo almost everyday...its a good fat like butter

[mom23kids]

Yesterday I had a normal eating day (around 1,500 calories and ate carbs etc). The scale was the same this morning-no gaining back any of the 1.5lbs I lost with the one day egg fast Very cool!

[LoriAS]

Cindy – As a matter of fact TOM is due in a couple of days. So that could be the hunger, because I was starving again yesterday. I love being on a plan where I can eat more of what is legal and still lose weight even if it is only .2 pounds! Congrats on the weight loss!

Portcop – like Cindy I use mayo daily and usually HWC and sour cream as well

Snodancer – Thanks for the tip!

Moonlights – Jan 2 – 7 practically all I ate was breakfast pork sausage links, pork chips and pork roast! I put a pork loin in the crockpot with 1-2 cups of chicken broth and sprinkle MrsDash herbs and garlic over the top…cook for 8-10 hours and enjoy!

Becky I am sorry you had to go through this I work in the intake department for hospice and deal with this every day, and it is hard every day especially when there are younger people admitted.

[Moonlights]

Hi all - thanks for your pulled pork tips, Lori and Cindy. I'm definitely going to try making it next week. If you use a pork shoulder or loin, do you take the skin/fat off before putting it in the slow cooker?

Yesterday I roasted a chicken and ate a ton of it, and made bone broth with the leftovers - had a delicious cup of that for my breakfast. Today will be pan fried venison and leftover chicken fried with five spice.

Sigh, I just can't wait for all my xmas gain to be gone so I can get back to losing real weight again. Shed a lot in the last 3 days but need to double it to be back where i started. It was my choice to take a break from the plan but wow, I wish I didn't retain so much water. Am sure i'll have gained back a few lbs of actual fat too, but hopefully not many.
