~ WDYET * Saturday & Sunday ~

thanks for the link, I'll check it out! they're my new favorite food! I da**** with cinnamon and nutmeg with a squirt or two of i can't believe its not butter and its perfect! They have small sweet potatoes at Market Basket, about 1/4 the size of a baking one. They're great! I met a soon to be post-op today for breakfast, her name is Kristine. I told her to stop in and say hello to us all! She is having surgery on Wednesday (2/28) with Dr. Shen in Concord. Breakfast wasn't that fat smashable, but it was good! between waking up and leaving for bfast - 2 drinkable yogurts breakfast - 1 poached egg, 1/2 slice of wheat toast, 3 strips bacon snack - small banana lunch - oatmeal cookies?? I'll have to post the recipe for these.. they're reallllyyy good. Its on phase 1 of fat smash they dont get crispy like a cookie (still trying to figure out how to crisp them more, but theyre good the way they are). acheivone with an extra 1/2 scoop of protein Dinner - morning star farms chicken patty 12 gram protein lemonade I saw Shannon last Thursday, she looked at my menu on fat smash and said its perfectly balanced. The only thing she said she would change is adding meat and cheese which is something I'll do once I finish the 9 day detox! I talked to her about what Christine mentioned at the meeting (post-ops becoming hypo glycemic) she said since everything dumps into the small intestine faster than non-surgery people, simple sugars or carbs (which turn into sugar) spike insulin levels. Thats why she mentioned when finding people who are becoming hypo glycemic should go back to focusing on protein, vegetables and complex carbs like oatmeal, brown rice, wheat pasta and sweet potatoes (yummm ).. Day 6 of fat smash I've lost 3 lbs since Tuesday I love this diet!! hows everyone doing with their foods today? Barb, when are you going to start joining the what did you eat post more often glad you were able to kick the nut addiction!!
