I love Starlight Herb >>http://www.starlightherb.com/<<. They were at a local fair and I purchased the Kitchen Sink Blend, it has a little bit of everything in it and is good on everything.

Hi Everyone!

I am R1/P2/VLC4

This is a spice rub I love on chicken! DH loves it , he is also on the diet .

Emeril's ESSENCE Creole Seasoning (also referred to as Bayou Blast):

2 1/2 tablespoons paprika

2 tablespoons salt

2 tablespoons garlic powder

1 tablespoon black pepper

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1 tablespoon dried thyme

Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Yield: 2/3 cup

I am new, just completed load days and gained 5 pounds OMG, I hope ths works

The list is very helpful - thank you. Especially for just starting. I do have a question though. This is the first time I have seen milk on a list for the diet phase right after loading, so I guess that would be phase 2. So, is milk allowed, and if so, what type?

Thank you.

I'm really curious about the calorie count you posted. There is a huge difference in several of the items...i.e. a normal size cucumber is only about 25 calories.

Also, for those of you trying to figure out your calories. Concentrate on weighing your meats and following protocol about the fruit. Fill up the rest on your veggies. I have never worried about the calories in my veggies except during my very first round. I keep a container of sliced cucumbers in the fridge and munch on those if I feel hungry.
