Today, I finally decided between WW Core and SBD... I chose neither! LOL! Instead, I'm doing a conglomeration of things. Low-fat, lowER-carb, soup diet and peanut butter diet.
I'm not doing the soup diet totally because I'd get so sick of the soup (recipe to follow), and I'm not doing only the PB diet for the same reason. I love PB but I'd get sick of it. Lowfat is easy enough, and now I have to work on my simple carbs - mostly it's the crappy snacks and sodas that kill me.
With the soup diet, you make the basic soup which is a bunch of fresh veggies, and you can eat as much of just the basic soup as you want. You can also do add-ins like chicken, ham, beef, sausages, bacon, other veggies, condiments, etc. Tonight, I added in deli roast beef (the stuff that comes in that gladware) with some dijon mustard and it was amazing! The mustard gave it spiciness and made it almost creamy. THe official soup diet (which you can find on iV by searching for it) also includes menus for the whole day, but as I said I'm not doing the whole diet.
The PB diet is basically a sensible lowfat diet, with 4 tablespoons of peanut butter consumed throughout the day. On waffles, breads, apples, in pudding.. that kind of thing. You can also find the PB diet info on iV.
For the low carb stuff, I'm using lower carb bread, whole wheat pastas and more brown rice, small amount of potatoes... the veggies and fruits that have carbs I'm still eating the way I ever did. Cutting down the soda and totally cutting out the terrible bagged snacks.
Below are the guidelines for the PB Diet, and the basic soup recipe for the Soup Diet after that.

Baby right now, although cutting out the soda will naturally bring in the water for lack of anything else to drink (or I'll end up drinking too many cappuccino's lol.)
The plan is to exercise tomorrow morning, but I'm not going to beat myself up if I don't. That's my new plan where exercise is concerned hehe.
