It's taken six weeks of stalling, but I'm finally ONE POUND down on my scales!!!! Must have a biscuit (LOL).
I like to keep meals very simple... I dont cook ......but can do simple things.
Start weight:339 Lbs (Sept 07, 05)
Band date/weight= Dec 13, 05/ 320 lbs
Lowest weight after surgery: Apil-14-06-261.2 lbs
3 whole eggs
1 tablespoon salt
(1/2 cup sugar or equivalent)
5 cups gluten (pricy, but worth it)
1/4 C oil
1 packet yeast (1/3 of a strip)
1 C + 2 tablespoons warm water
It goes into the bread machine, and when I wake up -- there's bread!!!
can't remember exactly when I did the calculations, but I think it was something like two parts protein to one part carbs, and I never keep track of fat.
Makes a very dense, chewy loaf. But I don't get that white-flour blah happening to me afterwards.
MrBigJ, may I ask if you have specific objectives or just think this may be a plan you might like or are simply exploring lc options?
I had similar thoughts to MsWaD on slowing metabolism. You'd have to add some fat to each shake and even then more than a couple of days may be counter productive. However, it depends on why prefer go liquid to begin with. Your personal goals may make it worth while.
Some folks, myself included find it curbs binge eating and we're feeling 'normal' again after a day or two. In my first year I did a day of liquids most weeks just so my digestive tract felt more like it did pre op. If I understand what you're going for maybe I have a book mark somewhere that can serve the purpose.
Hope I can help.
I could not ind any specifics in the lc plans I've taged over time.
B flax seed pancake,scr egg turkey bacon
L home made chili
S turnip greens
S salsa and soy flax chips
D salmon/spinach sauce,quinoa
S double protein cocoa/soy milk
T 78.4 net 60.6
For those of you who make your own bread, I can share from personal experience that substituting wheat gluten for plain wheat flour produces a very nice loaf, and about 75% of the calories are protein.
So today was:
2 poached eggs with high-protein bread
Coffee (there's always coffee)
Chicken sandwich on high protein bread, with mayo and avocado
Mandelbread (just one, but it was worth it)
Chicken curry
Ta DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Do you usually have a lot of shakes?
