In reply to: Nicole posted an update in the group Diabesity / Diabetes Good Morning Everyone- Saturday nights partying didn’t come without paying a price for eating a additional meal late in the evening. Although my blood […] Viewi really don’t think your body can store 3 extra pounds of fat off one meal- in a few hours. it is likely just water retention…:)
-
I agree that I most likely didn’t store 3 lbs of fat because of one extra salad with chicken. I just thought that the shift in body weight over a day’s time was interesting when the only variable was an additional meal consisting of an extra large salad with chicken. I’m sure that my weight will be down again real soon. Nicole

Can you have brown rice and brown […] ViewHi Ashley…yes you can have brown rice products and quinoa as well. unless you’re doing the advanced. i never did do the advanced mainly because i didn’t want my body to get used to eating quite that strict. there are lots more things to eat also! haha. plus, i have kids and so i can actually make one meal sometimes for all of us- instead of two.

It is so great that you can take a day off on Sunday and get right back to it the next dy without having cravings for sugar the next few days. I believe success is all about mind set.

Thanks, CW,
I agree with what you said. In fact, I think that my refusal to have treats (except for that problematic pumpkin bread I love so much) in part caused me to “cut loose” and go for it when I gave myself the ok. I enjoyed every bite, even the frosting from my friend’s groom’s cake (that chocolate was just fabulous). I did feel…[Read more] -
Maybe I will stop beating myself up about that slice of pumpkin bread that I enjoy so much and that makes me feel like I haven’t abandoned everything I used to love and enjoy so very, very much. I used to love this time of year because I could bake all manner of things and I really miss that creative outlet. It is a happy tradeoff I am willing…[Read more]

Weight & Obesity 7 months agowell…i found out what has been bothering my stomach since i started BSS in May. it’s the PGX!!! good grief, i thought it was food this whole time. i decided to quit- and voila, my tummy is much better! so what now…if i can’t take that…is there another fibre option that would be close?
-
How is your hunger level. I never did use the PGX because I didn’t feel I needed it to control my hunger. I eat lots of vegetables and salads and recently started the ultra shakes in the morning with flax seed and vegetable protein. I’m on Day 3 of week 16 Nicole
-
what is PGX?
-
Hi Amy – You will learn about PGX on page 222 on week 2. it is a fiber supplement that helps control appetite that is part of the supplements that Dr Hyman advocates. Nicole

Hi, C,
You had such difficulties and I am so glad you were able to figure out the problem. -
Hi, If you just need fiber for your digestive tract, try using ground flax seed. If you are using PGX to cut your appetite, find something to eat that will satisfy after a few bites. The muffins, blueberry or your pumpkin ones do it for me. Or a few almonds or pickles.
There is no requirement for using the PGX. I suggest it because it worked for…[Read more]

Sounds great..not for those of us on the advanced plan though…best wishes, Nicole
Hi CW, It looks like you have another hit on your hands! Your pumpkin muffins have been very popular here. I do not bake much, so do you think there is a difference between baking with raw or roasted almond meal? I keep either type in the freezer to avoid going rancid.
Thanks for the recipe, Margaret
the only thing that wouldn’t work with advanced is the honey…but like i said, cut it down. they’re worth it!!
Hi cwright, your pumpkin muffns are one of my favorite snacks, along with Margaret’s blueberry muffins. So THANK YOU for sharing the recipes. The cookies above sound delicious! I think I’ll try baking some this week, with less honey.
