Tweaking a few things has resulted in success and my weight loss is back on track.
Thanks to all for your support, suggestions and words of encouragement and wisdom. It made a difference and absolutely helped to keep me going on MWL.
Not ever going back to ETL! That diet sucks!
Weight: 109.8
loss: 1.1 lbs.
Very well done!
Just curious... what seemed to work for you?
Hi sirdle,
I stopped eating fruit for desert after lunch and my last meal. I was ready to give up canned pineapple in my salad at night, but this morning I weighed in at 108, so I'm thrilled I don't have to give up my yummy canned pineapple in my nightly salad! Canned pineapple in my nightly salad is my main treat at night before I go to bead.
I was allowing myself to eat as much brown rice as I wanted for my main meal during the day, so instead, I'm measuring out 1 cup of rice. That helped me add more veggies and beans. eyeballing it just wasn't working to keep my MWL ratio correct.
For snacks I'll eat a Romain heart with a potato. My last meal is salad.
I'm trying to always have yams, sweet potatoes and gold potatoes around to eat whenever I start feeling hungry. I eat all those kinds of potatoes throughout the day a lot.
I'll also eat some kind of legum soup that I make myself or McDougall soup I buy at the grocery. Infrequently, I'll eat the McDougall ramen, but that's kinda once in a blue moon. I keep McDougall ramen around in case I don't have anything prepared.
