Weekend bott

Saturday

No one started this topic so I thought I would.  I have never done a protein drink fast before, but I decided to start one today.  I am drinking 6 protein and water drinks today 720 calories and 120 gms. of protein.  I expected to be hungrier than I am.  When I do get hungry I "offer it up".  I will go back to regular eating tomorrow.  It is good to feed the soul sometimes too.

9 am one scoop of protein powder

12 pm one scoop of protein powder

3 pm one scoop of protein powder 

4 pm one spoon of metamucil 

6 pm one scoop of protein powder

Sunday

B: I had a cup of protein coffee and 1/2  a pure protein bar and my head was really fuzzy 210

L: I felt really nauseous all morning. I couldn't eat anything until lunch.  I had a grilled chicken breast on a bun with tomato and lettuce.  I ate the tomato basil soup but packed up the fries (my husband will eat them for dinner) 400

S: a piece of whole wheat bread and a slice of pork tenderloin 250

D: ground grass fed beef, whole wheat roll, rf cheese, peppers 600

B (Mon) skipped to save calories 

1460

I potted 14 pots/baskets of flowers for exercise today.

Good morning, that sounds challenging, but doable.  You also carb detox and may feel little sick.  May I suggest you add some chicken broth in a middle ?   If you would want to do that for a few days - make sure you add some salt to your diet.  Drinking broth in between shakes is a good way to add salt.

I just read your post.  That broth sounds like a good idea.  That many protein drinks was clearly too much for me.  I think I will drink 3 tomorrow and stick to protein and veggies to help get used to not eating carbs.  Each scoop of protein has 9 gms of carb/20 protein and 120 calories.  Thanks, Tri

Use salt on veggies. And some butter.  Butter good.  Get enough fat.  Fat keeps belly happy.  Carbs want more carbs.   Hugs. You doing great. 

It is Sunday.  I am staying away from wine and carbs.  I had 1 large  glass of wine on Thursday and did not fiil good on Friday,  I guess I can use that calories for extra fat and chocolate.  

I am trying to follow really low carbs - high fat- 80-90 gr protein diet...  I use natural fats like eggs, avocado, bacon,  bascon greese, coconut oil, etc. 

Wine helps me with - after dinner. Otherwise my insides are rather painful (iBS issue)    Friday we went out and I had salad, steak and veggies.  I was full -not hungry until lunch next day.  

Saturday eats:

Coffee+ Miralax

Scrambled eggs, bacon, veggies

Protein cookies and nuts at the movie

Chicken with veggies in a nice spicy stew-like dish

Water and tea, chocolate (home made - almost sugar free)

Sunday eats:

Coffee + miralax

Slept late so skipped breakfast and went to lunch

Salmon, asparagus + 4 sweet potato fries

2 pieces chocolate (homemade - but it is NOT a low calorie food ) 

Dinner: cucumber salad and some nuts, blackberries

LNS: some nuts and my chocolate

I have allergy to dairy, soy, and gluten intolerance. Plus severe RH. 

The chocolate I made : I use coconut oil, almond butter (or NSA PB) melt all together, then asdd cocoa, stevia, flavoring, pinch of salt. Mix it all. Then add chopped nuts - any nuts or seeds. Make it thick.  Spread on silicon mat, and freeze foirf ast least 1 hr. (Overtnighht works for me) therm break out bin pieces (unless I used silicon type candies form or mini cupcakes - silicon or paper caps inserts needed). Take it from the mold and store in container in as fridge or freezer).  To my last batch I added some psylium husk powder (very fine powder) to make it more fiber. I did not add too much because I can't tolerate too much fiber and I did not wanted to be able to taste it.  But I added enough to add 1 gr of fiber to every small piece.  (The most I can eat is 1-2 pieces, each piece has app 10 gr of fat, 2 gr of fiber, 1 gr of sugar, and 3 gr of protein. The nuts provide crunch)  I am sure protiern powder casn be added, but I have not found not whey proteins thast can add tyo that without changing the taste.

Good Morning... sorry I'm late..

well Saturday was hard.. i went to a revealing party and of course there were chips, dips, rice and OMY CAKE

this is my eats for Saturday considering everything I think I did pretty good, don't have a total but here it goes:

early morning 

coffee and some more coffee and then protein coffee 

Breakfast:

2 scrambled eggs with summer sausage

and then I fell asleep and didn't wake up until almost dinner so I went to the revealing party 

dinner: 2 chicken quarter w/little mole sauce

I feel guilty because I didn't try any of the chips or my nieces cake but I meet up with friends and drank 2 light beers

and then had some menudo around 3am (I tried not to eat the homony, just the meat & soup)

Sunday was a lazy day for me (just stayed home)

coffee (I can't function without it lol)

breakfast 2egg omelette w/pico, ricotta cheese & shredded cheese & piece of sausage

lunch: ham & cheese lettuce wrap

Dinner: chicken fajitas lettuce wrap, with pico, sour cream 

Sunday breaks down:

Calories: 918

Carbs: 13.9

Protein: 83.4 this doesn't include the coffee so it slightly higher but not to much more

I love seeing what everyone else eats gives me some fresh idea, congrats on being on the liquid diet, I've tried it before but do to headache I couldn't stay on it.  

Linda, looks like doing extremely well. Jus****ch for "burn out" days.. They may happen when the body would stop losing for  awhile..or starts long slower. 

On days like that- I feel like I want anything and everything. My method dealing with that is not limiting the qty of food - but what I eat - overeat on.  For me nuts and seeds are one of "good foods" . they are higher calories and carbs - but gives my body what it needs.  Beside that - "free food" is cucumber summer salad:  I chop fresh cucumber, lots of dill, add salt and pepper and apple cider vinegar.  I can add some red pepper for little bit of color, or even a few slices of avocado.. (as healthy fat - and because i love avocado). But the pure cucumber salad is virtually calorie free and I can eat as much of it as I want.  (BTW due to my belly issue - I can only eat a few raw veggies without being in severe pain, cucumber and NSA pickles are some of them)
