Topic: RE: What Are You Eating????
Dear Molly: I agree! Great Question! Some times, I think I eat too much, but sometimes it seems like I don't eat enough. I have read that you should eat no less than 200 calories less than your RBMR (Resting Base Metabolic Rate....or something like that) in order to lose. If you eat less, your body is in starvation mode and will hold on to everything. Typically, I have a protein shake made with water first thing in the morning with my vitamins on the way to work. Sometimes water too. After I get to work, I have 2-3 mugs of caffiene free Cafe au Lait made with 2% milk. (1/2 c. milk for each mug----this is SUPPOSED to be made with whole milk or half & half, so the 2% is my substitute, skim milk WILL NOT work for this). Lunch is usally left overs from the night before or lunch meat/cheese roll ups. I try to have cucumbers or another veggie at lunch. I have another shake mid afternoon. Dinner is whatever the rest of the family is eating meat and veggie, sometimes a couple of bites of the side. Before bed, I have another shake with my night time vitamins. Water all in between. I have been wondering if the shake in the morning is breakfast, or if I should add some sprouted toast with peanut butter or cheese as breakfast. What are YOU eating? Dawn

Sometimes in life, you find a special friend; Someone who changes your life just by being part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop; Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it.

I have been using a ring guard on my rings since surgery. I finally took them off last night because even the ring guards won't keep them from slipping all over.

Topic: RE: What Are You Eating????
Hmm What do I eat!!! I keep reading that if you aren't eating enough you won't lose. It is so hard to eat though. I ususally have a protein shake for breakfast- small yogurt, dab of milk, scoop of protein powder. Lunch- soup or something leftover if I cooked. Usually no more than 1/2 cup of what ever. Dinner- some type of protein (cheese, nuts) with salad. I will have some vege chips with guacamole occassionally for some crunh. I may have a handful of mixed nuts as a snack- or cheese. Sometimes I will have peanut butter on a cracker.
