juliejane68 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 This is my second go. I started May 1 and made it the first 16 days and then had to start over after a wedding with drinks and cheeses I didn't forego. So...I waited a couple of days and started again. Today is day 16 AGAIN, and I am eating coconut, sesame butter, and a banana because I came *this close* to eating some Hershey's minis I found as I cleaned out my desk. Anyone else having a hard time suddenly after doing okay? How badly is this "snack" hurting my progress? I've been feeling great, lots of morning energy,easier exercise, looser clothes...but this is throwing me for a loop. Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted June 2, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 2, 2015 What's going on in your life right now that is urging you towards these foods? Did you have a large enough breakfast? Did you eat enough yesterday? Where are you in your menstrual cycle? Your snack isn't awesome, it's jacking your blood sugar and messing with you mentally. But it will not break your "elimination reset". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliejane68 Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 I had 3 scrambled eggs, salad, and guacamole for breakfast. Lunch was arugula, roast beef, cabbage, and a few orange slices and grapes. I honestly don't know where I am in my cycle (have been trying to figure it out, but my planner's a mess). Recommendations for a dinner that will reverse my snack sugar boost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted June 2, 2015 Moderators Share Posted June 2, 2015 You can't necessarily "reverse" something you've already done, all you can do is to do better going forward. Eat at least one palm-sized piece of protein (that's the length, width, and depth of your palm), at least one thumb-sized serving of fat (or a handful or two of olives or coconut flakes, or 1/2-1 whole avocado), and then 2-3 cups of cooked vegetables. Include at least a fist-sized portion of starchy vegetable with at least one meal a day. Feel free to have more of any of that if you want to. Do that three times a day. If you're hungry between meals, have a mini meal of protein, fat, and vegetables. Only have fruit with a meal, not by itself, and limit it to no more than two servings a day for best results.

Administrators ladyshanny Posted June 2, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 2, 2015 I wonder if you are experiencing increased cravings/need for food that is common in the week leading up to and of our periods? Or if you were experiencing that the first time and this time you've got that 16th day bookmarked in your head and are so concerned about pushing past your previous wipe out date that you are stressing out over it?
