I am on the 7 day ALL PROTEIN DIET
OK so this is day 4 of the 5 day pouch test. It is DEFINITELY WORKING. I am really happy because my weightloss has kicked back in. I am back down to very small portion sizes and I am eating the right things. Really happy so far with the results. I am looking forward to tomorrow when I can start eating Chicken, Pork and Steak. :P
My average meal is approx 1/3 of a cup. I have 3 protein shakes a day and work hard to keep my protein over 100 grams per day. For snacks I eat things like 1 oz mixed nuts, or hummus, of babybel light cheese. Protein is always my focus on the day.
Just came back from a week vacation as well and while I defineately ate more than usual, I think keeping protein the focus helped because I actually lost a little. I made sure to take a lot of snack foods with me when I travelled and water bottles were always in my purse. I would recommend that anyone heading off for vacation make a plan for how they will handle meals and snacks. For me, prior planning seemed to help a lot.

I agree with the planning your meals part! I went to Disney and there was one option Chicken Caesar Salad and the chicken was like rubber. It was horrible! So if you plan on going on vacation be sure to pack your own food! That way you can avoid giving into the high carb foods! LIKE I DID! I was at Epcot in France and caved and ate a strawberry tarte. Yesss, I was baaaad on vacation! But I got the weight back off of me finally.
I wanted to thank Pooh and Piglet for recommending Click Expresso because O.M.G. I LOVE IT!!! I was a huge coffee drinker before the surgery. So if you don't like coffee you won't like this. But it reminds me of the Starbucks iced mocha frapaccino! DELISH! I am ordering more of it! I also am going to order more of the Wonder Slim Chocolate pudding/shake. I eat it as pudding and it satisfies my sweet cravings. It's smooth so doesn't taste like I am eating chalk like some of the protein mixes.
OK.. gotta get this day rollin'! Have a good day everyone!
