Moderators ShannonM816 Posted February 11, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 11, 2016 Hi, pattyw -- don't forget to add fat to your meals, especially if you're using lean meats like turkey. The meal template shows how much to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted February 11, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 11, 2016 Shannon, Do I add fat even though chicken thighs have fat? Yes, probably. The goal is to go 4-5 hours between meals, and fat is one thing that helps keep you full longer. You may not need to add as much with chicken thighs as you would if you had chicken breast, but it doesn't hurt to add some. If I had chicken thighs, sweet potato, and broccoli, I'd probably add some mayo or coconut oil or ghee to the sweet potato, and if I felt like drizzling some oil or sauce over the broccoli, I'd do that too.

pattyw Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 2/13 - sleep last night was typical. Best sleep is in front of the tv. I wasn't as wide awake during the hours I wasn't dozing. I did some reading on kindle and that is at least getting my mind turned in the right direction. meal 1 - water, banana, coffee, sesame oil, shredded cabbage, broccoli, carrots and epic egg failure, macadamia nuts - I'm on way!!! 9:25 am - 6 cups of water so far meal 2 - chicken thighs, red potatoes, carrots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattyw Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 2/15 - Aleve pm has helped the past 2 nights! Do a leg workout at home....JUST DO IT!!! I am not headed in the direction I want to go in. Eating foods I should not be eating. Are you comfortable/happy with the bodyfat you have on yourself? You know you are going to the beach in August with Brittany and Brandi???? Do you want to be in a bathing suit feeling embarrassed, ashamed, hating yourself for what you did to yourself? The time to get turned and headed in the direction you want to go is NOW, TODAY! If you can do Ideal Protein for 5 months you can do W30 plus you are working out now. You said W30 is paradise compared to IP. Prep, prep, prep especially after church! You know how he works. Let them go get food that is not good for you - physically, mentally. Love yourself enough to follow thru and see what happens....see how much better you can feel, sleep, look..... #1 - water, macadamia nuts, coffee carrots, red potato wedges, chicken thighs small banana #2 - macadamia nuts, sweet potato, broccoli, chicken thighs So much for yesterday. Another wasted day.....went from bad to worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattyw Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 2/18 - Had sweet potato with lunch and had a 6 month pregnant look and was bloated for 4 hours. I drank 80+ oz of water. I wasn't even feeling hunger for dinner. I actually started feeling better as I ate dinner. So done with sweet potatoes. I know red potatoes are approved but some say they spike blood sugar but surely eating less than 1/2 a medium sized potato can't have a bad affect. It is time to start to spend some time learning about this instead of winging it. 1 - water, macadamia nuts, banana, coffee, few red potato wedges, carrots (leftover), kale, 3 eggs, 1/2 of a 1/2 of homemade chicken apple sausage, 1 TB salsa 2 - red potatoes and carrots, chicken apple sausage, macadamia nuts - still felt bloated for hours - drank the water - took some enzymes 3 - chicken thighs, peppers, cabbage, shredded carrots, macadamia nuts gym - chest, triceps, cardio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted February 19, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 19, 2016 It looks like you're having nuts at nearly every meal -- those cause digestive issues, including bloating, for lots of people. You might want to leave them out for a few days and see if it helps. Replace them with other fat sources, like olives, avocado, coconut, oils, mayo, or dressings or sauces.
