Anyone want to journal what they're eating for everyone to see?
It would be great to see what everyone is eating in phase 1.... and help each other if we see something that's not phase-1 ok.
You can post by meal/snack, or post your whole day.

I would love some ideas for desserts. I don't like the texture of the ricotta desserts in the book and the same for the fudgesicles. I don't care for the sugar-free Jello either. (See?!? Picky! - It is just so not how I normally am! Of course, normally, I am not eating the fake stuff but the real fattening stuff!) Are those low-carb (sugar free) chocolate candy bars something that we can have? I think that Atkins makes some and another brand is something like CarboRITE.
Thanks for any advice - I have a long way to go and I want this WOE to work for me.

Thanks for the quick response! I am so very confused about the 75 calories for sweet treats per day. What is considered a 'sweet treat'? Is it anything that you have added Slenda to? I thought Splenda was a free food and have been using it as a 'spice' in my cooking. I am from the south were you add sugar to basically everything that you cook! What about the whole ricotta creme stuff - For example: the Vanilla Ricotta Creme in the book is 178 calories. Is the 75 calories above and beyond this 178 calories? So, if you don't eat the Ricotta Creme, do you really get about 250 calories of sweet treat per day? Oh, I am just so confused about this '75 calories' and 'what is a sweet treat' and 'how Splenda is considered'! Help!!

To date I've lost 4 pounds. Also exercise at least (2 hrs each day for 3 days 1 hr 8km/5 miles walk/run treadmill, plus a 1 hr walk outside hills) (2 days Bike 20km follow by strength training) Weekend 2 X 6km outside walks.
First let me say that I'm pleased that cravings have disappeared. Just wondering how much time people usually spend exercising. Finally is it possible that I'm still eating too much?

Hi and welcome,
So glad you popped in!
Thanks, I was concerned to move on, thinking that adding carbs would slow down process further. Will implement adjustments (cheese, nuts or yogurt for a snack). It's darn cold in Montreal, but I get outside every chance I can take.
