well, i've had to start all over again, starting today. i had not much luck the first time around(two weeks ago), and i've decided to try again and take all of your advice. you all didn't think i was eating enough, so here we go...tell me what you think of what i've eaten so far today.
breakfast : scrambled eggs with green peppers and onions 20 oz of water
mid morning snack: 1 round little lite babybel cheese
lunch: chili with 24 oz of water
mid afternoon snack : 30 pistachios
for dinner, not sure yet. so, how am i doing???
hope you all had a nice holiday!

How big was the chili?
how big should snacks be?
and no, yesterday, i wasn't hungry at all. but i had all that i listed before, plus, dinner i had a burger(no bun) and a salad.
thanks for your help....i guess i'm confused by what the minimum amount of food you should be eating.

"...i guess i'm confused by what the minimum amount of food you should be eating. "
You should eat until you feel satisified, but no more.
OK... yesterday...
Breakfast
Boiled egg
Serving of Turkey Sausage
Snack
Cashews ( I put a few in a little snack bag and take it to work)
Lunch
Hot Black Bean Salsa Beef
1 Cup Collard Greens
Cup SF Jello
Snack
Motzy Stick
Dinner
Lean Hamburger Patty
1/2 Cup Homeade HOT salsa
1 oz cheddar
1 Cup Lima Beans
1/2 Cucumber
Snack
Chocolate Cookie DOugh Ricotta
240 OZ water and Pilates and stretching.
Ok.... Taking a look at your menu....
Try adding 2 cups of veggies in your meals. Did you chili have lean meat? Did the chili have beans? Beans are GREAT source of fiber and good carbs and are essential in phase 1 especially if you are exercising. Make sure to have your desserts on phase 1 and don't forget your snacks. IMO, the cheese round is fine. Snacks don't need to be huge, just something to get you through times when blood sugar might be getting low. Celery and peanut butter is great! Hummus and cucumbers are great too! I wish I could still eat hummus, but I am allergic to chick peas... found this out by mistake! lol.
OK? YOu're doing fine and dandy. Less is not more eating the SBD style. Veggies are your source of good carbs on phase 1. keep on keepin on!

also, what is your chocolate cookie dough ricotta recipe - and is there such a thing as too much of this. doesn't the book limit you to 1/2 cup or something? i love these ricotta cheese recipes and i'm afraid of having too much of it.
thanks!

I'm so sorry I'm sounding so ornery I think I'm tired and would love a piece of pie that's in the frig ;o)
thanks for listening....
I use a 1/4 cup, 1 pack of splenda, 1 tbls of any flavored syrup (I have cookie dough, raspberry, German Chocolate, and vanilla), and a tbls of cocoa powder.
Then, food process it. I like to freeze mine a little bit now. makes a neat frosty thing.
