I had to prepare it (and eat it) with plain water because the foods allowed each day were so limited. I did not know about the need to rinse. LOL. It's sad to think I may have tortured myself for lack of a good rinse. |

I was on a rotation diet a few years back (for food allergies). On the day I was allowed quinoa, I nearly starved because I refused to eat it. I find quinoa (and amaranth) to be the most vile "foods" on this planet! I can't understand anyone eating that vile stuff by choice. |

I'll definitely try the frozen fruit treat. That sounds fabulous! Thanks. |

Well, the dreaded weigh-in happened and I was down 2 pounds!! My little plateau only lasted a couple weeks, so I'm glad all that work, well..., worked. I upped my activity for the last few days but I also upped my calories because I was so hungry. Yay for exercise. |

How do you make brown butter? Do you just brown it on the stove? |

Hey liswobble, thanks for working that whole menu up for me. It looks great! I actually ate 1/2 an oz of almonds with lunch today (plus "fried" rice I made myself with veggies, egg, and a touch of olive oil) and I'm quite full and happy right now (could it be because I just finished?) I'll be working more of your ideas in today, thanks! I try to eat a very low fat breakfast so I can save most of my fat for dinner. I just get too hungry after dinner if I don't. I also have a weakness for butter (LOVE IT!!) so I have 1 T on some popcorn about once a week. Margarine or Promise just doesn't cut it. If most of my fat grams are used up, I just eat dry, air-popped popcorn for bedtime snack. I go to my diabetes prevention class tonight and I have to weigh in at the door. I'm pretty sure I'll be down by 1 pound again; their scale is different from mine and I weigh in the morning in the buff, thus the difference. Here's hoping, anyway. I do not have diabetes currently. I had elevated cholesterol, high triglycerides, and an elevated BMI (27) as well as a diabetic sister, mother, grandparents, etc. so I qualifed for the class. The hospital got a grant to administer the class so the members paid only about 10% of what it is actually costing. In two months my cholesterol went down by about 90 points!! It is a year-long program with an intensive first 16 weeks, then monthly checks. I lost the recommended 7% of my weight (weight loss goal for all members) 2 weeks ago but I would really like to fit into my old size 8 clothes again, so I continue. Thanks, everyone, for all of your helpful comments. |

Thanks, hanmick, for your protien shake idea. I'll get over to our tiny health-food store today to see if they have any protien powder in their bulk section. Miles City, MT is only about 9000 people strong but we even have a Walmart. Billings is only 2 hours away so if I can't find what I need here, I can go there one of these weekends. I ate an egg white omlet with red bell pepper for breakfast today, along with dry WW toast, some strawberries and skim milk. I feel pretty satisfied this morning. It sure beats the feeling of a full stomach but hungry mouth. |

I think maybe I'll try more protien in the morning like you suggest, liswobble. I totally avoid coffee and all caffeine. I get too jittery and my legs have to do the cha-cha all the time if I have any. Even chocolate can cause it (restless leg?) if I eat it late enough in the day. Then I can't sleep because I can't hold still. I avoid refined carbs too. I like the whole grain products I can make or buy. Thanks! |

Yes, I get enough water. I fill my water bottle several times a day at work. I think victoriagirl is right. I probably need to increase my fat intake. I have been craving almonds forever but they are so high in fat that I avoid them so I don't use up all of my allowed fat in one sitting. The program only allows me 33 grams per day. This program is the first to work for me in a long time. Probably because I have to turn in my eating and exercise journal every week. Being held accountable makes me follow more carefully. I caved in and ate 2200 calories today. I feel good now but I could still eat my whole kitchen if I allowed myself. The only thing stopping me is that I have to weigh in tomorrow. Thanks for everyone's encouragement and patience. I really appreciate all of your help. |

Thanks for the advice. I guess I just need to find the foods that make me feel full (any more suggestions?). I guess I will look at lowering my calorie intake too, although I'm not very excited about that. Thanks for your support! |
