Anyone want to join me?

I'm following the Biggest Loser Diet.

Break down is as follows:

p=1/2 serving protein
P=1 serving protein
F=Fruit
V=Vegetable
s=1/2 serving grain
S=! serving grain

Breakfast, pSF
Snack, pF
Lunch PsV
Snack pF
Dinner psVV

If you're hungry, add in more fruit or vegetables.
Calories should be 1200-1400.  Eat clean, no heavily processed food, limit fats and extras.

With my training, I needed to switch to more carbs....But I need a week of sticking to this, so thought I'd get some accomplices.

Post your daily intake and end of week (next Sunday) losses in this thread.

Me:
Breakfast, apple, oatmeal w/tbsp preserve
Snack, 2 eggs with 3 plum tomatoes
Snack greek yogurt
Lunch 4 oz chicken breast in 1 tbsp curry sauce, 2c spinach with garlic and olive oil
Snack apple
Dinner TBD

i want to look into it! good luck!

Hi Jerz, long time, no see eh?  Hey, funny you bring this up cause with my gallbladder attack last week, I was thinking/reading about "eating clean" to keep these attacks under control...

So ya, Iam in   BTW, I have lost 24lbs. just by cutting back on snacking!

Now, do you have any good links to TBL eating plans without having to buy a book?  Thanks! 

P.S. Hey, can you point me to some grain ideas?

http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/biggest-loser-diet

grains--pretty standard...think low glycemic (whole wheat, oats, brown rice)

I will attempt doing this, but had a dental problem yesterday that has me on mushy food for a few weeks....

Thanks for the link, and ya I hear you on the dental bit,  I go for softer protiens like chicken, ground good stuff. 

Trader Joes has a nice microwave brown rice in packets.....Take care..

Oh and my DH went nutz, planted ALOT of veges this year, I hope that helps me snack on those!

Hi Gael! Long time for u too! Glad to see you

I am trying that same approach-no snacking.  I should say almost no snacking b/c I do think there may be times when we do need a snack so as to not go ape at mealtime. If I do snack, I am trying for veggies, a small svg protein, just trying hard to keep it lower cal and whole food.

I don't know if it's making a difference..have not weighed for a couple weeks. I know I feel lots better.
 

Thanks to Jerz for breaking the BL diet plan down - i have been wanting to research it for a while now and like you don't want to buy yet another book.

Hi ya to you too Neecee!  Ya, lets buy yet another diet book...lol  Hows 'bout a lil bonfire with all our books? Iam still here....I was musing over maybe a re-intro post here.  I've been going through Kaiser's hoops in thier bariactric program.  They will opnly do a bypass, at least in Fremont, since thats not what I want, Iam plodding along...

LOL - a huge bonfire of weigh loss diet books -I have a lot I can toss on the pile.

I've gotten smarter in my old age - I now borrow them from the library. I actually had my interest tweaked in the other post about the biggest loser so I requested their diet book from my library - should get it ina few days. I'm curious to see what is written.

Skylar

The book offers different information than the WebMD summary or than has been said by Jillian Michaels.  She always has the women on 1200 calories, the book will be more reasonable.

All the best to those who will diet! As for me - that's too much work and counting!!!

Thought I'd post a little update here so you can see what's up in my world. I'm still (going on 3 years) replacing one meal a day with my shake or soup, being smart in food choices, and getting the body moving. Oh, yes, and drinking water. I find this so delicious, easy, healthful, and non-stressful, that it makes sense to continue. :-)  The below photo was taken last Sunday. Those are my grandchildren. Lynnea is 9, Garett 7, and Troy 6. Sam, of course, is almost 5 months.  We were airing out his bottom. I give Sam 1/8 of a Super Shake once or twice a day to keep him healthy.
