Ha! Sometimes I don't have even that! Tomorrow at about 9:00 a.m. will mark 72 hours since last hcg injection, so could move into P3 for breakfast. Not hungry this morning. Yesterday, didn't eat foods off protocol, but ate additional calories, as I had double the protein ...

Combined with a good protein with your meal, they are a way to have something sweet. 2. More on a treat or dessert side, outshine fruit Popsicles make no sugar added ones, much fruit juice in them but only 25 cal and 2 g ...
Yay! Reached my goal of 25 lbs. 25.6 with one more day to weigh for my LDW. Looking forward to P3, but nervous, as most people are. Aldi's order is in and I've looked up some recipes to help keep us on track.
Originally Posted by Leez Yes, I've always had to order it online. I don't think I've ever seen it on the shelf. (Do not buy NuNaturals--it is coarse, dark and tastes like cardboard.) You can use oat fiber to temper the dense calories you get in almond flour baked goods as well. Usually you can replace up to half the almond flour called for, depending on the recipe. But even replacing a quarter lightens things up significantly.

Also goes great with Plantain chips! 1 can Artichoke Hearts, diced (the soup sized can) 1 can Water Chestnuts, diced (the tuna sized can) 1/2 cup sour cream 1/2 cup mayo 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, ...

Hot Artichoke (Dip) or Casserole (I make a half recipe of this for just me, which lasts days in the fridge, and you can heat up servings in the microwave.) 2 14-ounce ...

I remember ten years ago, I was not alone in cabbage causing gain. It truly leaves me sad! lol For the slaw... I take a standard bag'o-slaw... shred or dice apples... add balsamic and stevia (to taste) and chill overnight. I top ...

That’s a lie. I had two. A real one uses grapefruit juice but there are several skinny mixes available that are 1 to 5 carbs/ sugars. ...

LOL! My struggle was with how MUCH food do I eat since I am in P3 and trying to get calories in yet stick to high protein so I don't kill myself and STARVE all day \o/ ...
Originally Posted by Leez do you ever eat a dessert or something you shouldn't Maybe a bite or two if it is something I really want. If I'm really wanting more of that taste, I'll go home and make a version that is sugar-free and with better ingredients. I generally end up enjoying my version more. Most sugary desserts are way to sweet for me now. What are your favorite high carb/low fat meals? I like to do lean proteins in the air fryer coated with a smidge of oil and dusted with ...
