PB diet, I've been inspired!

Alright girls...I think I'm going to start it tomorrow. Here's a question though, I've found some canned roast beef at Costco..and it's really good just mixed with a little mayo.....but...is mayo allowed? I usually just spoon some into a piece of provolone cheese and eat it that way. What do you girls think? and do you have any good suggestions as I get bored with food easily, but have got to see the scale move again. Thanks in advance! Aileen

Mayo isn't on the PB diet. I guess it won't hurt too much. If that will help you stick to it...do it! Karla 337/179/150

Good Luck with the PB diet! I'm happy I did it. Like Karla said, mayo is not on the diet. The rules are if it's not on the sheet, don't eat it but if you think a lil mayo will help you, go ahead. Maybe try Fat free or lite mayo. I had 1 tab. of SF cool whip everyday with my jello and it's not on the list. I'm not a big jello fan but the cool whip made it taste a little better. My only advice is stick with it, drink lots of water and eat heavy meat that really fill you up. Oh, go buy some beans! They really kept me full. "Lucks" makes a good one that's seasoned with pork and onions if you don't want to make your own. Post your menu when you can too, be accountable for what your eating! Good Luck!! Kay

Aileen I am on the PB diet. I am down 7 lbs in 8 days. I also have questions. Are we allowed protein shakes? Are we allowed protein bars with 1 net carb? Does anyone know? My diet said you should have two protein supplements per day but did not say what kind. If anyone knows the answers please let me know. I am a very slow looser and have such a hard time of it. My year was 1-ll-2007 I am only down 85 lbs and for months I have gone up and down like a ball. I had fully hoped to be down at least 100 lbs at one year . Is there anyone else out there? How long can you stay on the PB diet? Joyce

Congrats on your weight loss with the pb diet, Joyce To my understanding, the rules say at least 45 grams of protein supplement a day. I think that's protein powder and not bars. There are carbs in bars and we are to stay away from carbs for 10 days. My surgeon requires 2 protein shakes a day too so I wouldn't of did the pb diet without them. I asked my surgeon about the pb diet and he said it was fine as long as I do my protein shakes everyday. He also said to not do it longer than 10 days because we need total nutrition including fruit, vegtables and carbs. Every surgeon and nut have different rules so maybe yours might think different. After the 10 days, continue to make protein your priority (sp), go low carb and the weight will continue to come off. Good Luck kay
