Hey Jewely-Jewlz-'cuz you sparkle so much! How's it going this morning?

Finally broke my 4 day stall~delighted to learn the vegan road can also produce the desired results.

Tawk to me, grl~Whas' Up?

Thanks for taking the time to write! Obviously you are incorporating non-protocol ideas, but it works for you, that's the important part. More important that we follow a plan than not, imho. My diet is incredibly boring (yes, I literally eat just the 3 egg whites+egg for lunch and the cott cheese for dinner as Dr. S. talks about in Pounds and Inches) but its almost like a 6 week break from thinking about food. Everything else you name: shakes (spirituein in my case), naked chik from quorn, and greek yogurt (either 0% or 2%) I eat in P3.
Best of luck! It was the encouragement of this board that encouraged me that this diet could be done as a vegetarian. (Which I have to--its not really an option for me to go back to meat-eating for kidney stone prevention. Ecology and animal rights are benefits too.)

Its good. Getting tired of the same things to eat, but I think I can survive another week and a half of VLCD.

I'm yoyo-ing a bit, though not so hungry, staying with no starch no sugar, but my weight is really fluctuating. Of course I didn't start P3 quite as I had planned (gradually, one thing at a time), a little early with a big cheese omelet (was out with a friend who wanted to go get something to eat, sigh...). Went to a party where I only ate the pork rid and sour cream dip I brought, and my low-carb beer (yuck but hey its still beer, lol). So I'm at 154 today, gonna try a FFF day, see if I can't get my butt back down to that 151.5 I was at my lowest P2 weight......

Finally I'm back where I was, though I'd probably be much lower otherwise........well, 8 more days, or thereabouts, before P3, I was considering maybe extending, but this is becoming kind of exhausting, though hopefully it gets easier in later rounds, since we'll know what to expect.......

I blew it terribly!!!

Phinney ridge...lol! so close - agree there are a ton of us on the forum. Wonder what that says about Seattle???

how'd the round go? i took a break but am back! Happy wedding and marriage, right?

Hi! Sorry - I didn't realize I'd had messages! This weekend was a zoo... I'll message you my cell. I can meet up tomorrow if you want, but I'm heading to bed now, so text me and let me know if that works for you. I'll plan to bring the supplies with me if you can meet.

Here's the spaghetti recipe...I used the food processor, but you could put the tomatoes in a blender too. If it needs sweeting, add a tiny bit of stevia until it's not bitter.


Spaghetti Sauce P2 friendly
2-3 ripe tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
2 slices onion chopped
Basil, oregano, onion pwdr, garlic pwdr, Italian seasoning, bay leaf
Super lean ground beef
2 TBL tomato paste

Puree tomatoes in food processor or blender
Brown ground beef with onions and garlic.
Add tomatoes, spices, and tomato paste
Simmer until thickened

Pour over miracle noodles. Try them once, and if they don’t make you stall Hooray! Some can use them, and some can’t.
For chili, leave out Italian seasoning and add chili powder and chipotle powder if you like it spicy.
