Topic: RE: Tuesday CARb Accountability Rollcall!!!
Hala thank you so much for posting this thread!  My morning got away from me, this was much appreciated!

This was not an "exemplary" low-carb day for me, because I got into the CHEESE CRACKERS this afternoon.  Let's not talk about why I managed to purchase (and take to work) an entire large box of cheese crackers, shall we?  

However, I would like to point out that I ate plenty of protein today, which sort of limited the curse of the crackers.  And I got the protein in early, while I was still at home and in control -- bonus for me!

B:  3 poached eggs, coffee with half and half
S:  didn't have time, probably why I got tempted by crackers later on
L:  noodle-free lasagna, now THAT was a good idea
S:  the afore-mentioned cheese crackers, grrrr
D:  fish with cheese/garlic sauce, broccoli, carrots, half a roll with butter

Mostly it was a pretty good day, but curse you, boxed cheese crackers!!!

It was not a low carb day today because I indulged myself with a soy latte,  chocolate and pretzels.  Still well in within my calorie budget. 


My "normal" lc lifestyle eats for Tuesday

spaghetti squash with a sesoned oil dressing, beef & chicken, onion & red pepper

chai, water, creamsicles

buljol (a Trini fish dish), spaghetti squash

soda, chicken

mocha, pork skins

fudgsicle, water

77g carbs and 54g net carbs without the treats I mentioned  I consider nothing off limits as long as I plan it into my week.

Oh, go ahead and cry -- maybe it will feel better LOL

Look, four days (as you well know) is not much of a stall -- it's probably that you dropped a great deal of inflammational weight rather rapidly, which is wonderful -- But, it does spoil us some for when it's time to prepare for the longer haul of extended weight loss and even maintenance.

You are on the right path, and the fact that you are feeling better, I hope, is confirmation that you are doing as you should.  We are glad to have you here, and I am honored that you took the time to post on our group's board.

low carb - but tastes like candy  - and no splenda or sugar alcohols:
Power Crunch Protein Bars.
 

Most of them have net 9 gr of carbs per bar, 5 gr sugar and 13-15 gr of proteins. 200 calories. 
It is a great substitution when I want a candy bar.. .

I love them. But I found that that I am allergic to Splenda so... I have to give up on them. But I still use the natural. I add them to my flour free bater - and make crunchy cookies.  LOL.. (I use stevia)

I guess I need to start that today.

Doing well... so far so good.  Writting things down really make a difference how I see food and really how much I have.
So far:
coffee + almond milk (unsweet)
2 protein muffins (no flour almost no sugar - small amount of sugar from bananas)
yogurt with feta, olives and dry dill dip 
protein bar
sirloin burger from Costco... (already cooked - Love them) + pickles..
tea and more tea... 

already 900 calories and 80 gr proteins... but 2 more meals for me... 
probably will go over calories... can't help that... 
but will have protein shake (one meal)
and leftover salmon burgers + pickles (all low carbs - used parm cheese and flax meal as a filler, and egg whites)

(HUGS)
I have chocolate. Used to get it daily... but not so much lately.  Good chocolate for low carb is the 85% or the 90% dark chocolate... by Lindt.  I will have a square  or 2.. (2 squares only 2.5 net carbs)  and break it into small pieces and let each piece disolve in my mouth.  Usually 1 square will satify my cravings and not make me break my "low carb" day.

I have been at a stall now for 4 days!!!   In the past I would say ****it
and go have my chocolate, junk etc.   but I am determined as I must say I feel 100% better doing low carb!!

So I thought that if I took the time to post, put it in writing so not to blow it, I would feel better!     (LOL no yet)  

Great day to you all!  I don't post much, but do love this board and the information I read!

Band removed and feeling alive with energy!
