Weight & Obesity 8 hours, 56 minutes agoI need some moral support please. I fell off the program two weeks ago, gained weight and I feel awful. I’m finding it so hard to get back on track. I am eating all the wrong foods–sugar and carbs galore. Please help me with words and wisdom of support. Thank you all!

Recipes 10 hours, 15 minutes agoHere is a vegetable roasting idea
To roast veggies, cut into 2-3 inch pieces. Coat with olive oil, I just pour olive oil on my hand and rub over veggies. Sprinkle spices over if you want (curry, allspice, salt and pepper, chili or your favorite)
Place in an oiled glass or ceramic pan, in a single layer.
Roast at 350-375 for 30 minutes and check.…[Read more] -

Diet & Nutrition 1 day, 1 hour agoHappy Thursday Everybody…I’ve been thinking about our food supply and GMO’s these days . Yesterday I got an email about Senator Barbara Baxter (CA) sponsoring another bill about disclosure for GMO foods. I’ve been more than a little angry since learning that the same companies that unknowingly supply GMO foods here in the USA supply versions…[Read more]
-
If companies had two versions avaiable – one with GMO’s and one without GMO;s which one would you buy and would you be willing to pay more for the one without GMO’s ? Similar to orgainic vegetables and regular vegetables. Just rambling on…
-
Would definitely buy non-GMO, would be willing to pay more. Thanks for the notice–will email my senators.

oops..spell check Senator Barbara Boxer

Recipes 5 days, 12 hours agoI found green tea rather blah and I never liked the taste much. I do like chai tea though and found this wonderful recipe to add to green tea to spice it up! I am also enjoying it more with warm coconut milk. I may improvise and add vanilla bean eventually. Its very forgiving. I am sure it would be great with a small touch of honey as well @…[Read more]

Recipes 5 days, 12 hours agoI am finding more questions as I read through the recipe book. Almost every recipe includes olive (or other) oil. Do all of you use that much oil in your diets? The calories seem rather high to me. I have to admit that my ‘norm’ has been use of deprivation diets so I may not be thinking clearly about this. I would like to hear from you…[Read more]

I don’t have the recipe book and so I can not answer your question about the book..but healthy oils are important to include in your diet…fat doesn’t make you fat.. my good fats include a tsp of olive oil in my salad two times a day, 1-2 ounces of nuts a day , 1 tsp flax seed in my ultra shake in the morning and the fat that is in my…[Read more]

Good information, Nicole. I was afraid my previous eating patterns were influencing my fears about fats. I too have terrible dry skin, especially living in dry, hot Las Vegas. The reason I got the cookbook is to learn about new foods and appetizing ways to cook them within the program. I had never eaten (or heard of) many of the vegetables and…[Read more]

Because I am now in month 11 I do use regular butter at times on my veggies. I use coconut butter for all my stir frying..get a good one from a health foods store . I actually never thought of using coconut butter but i have used olive oil on my steamed vegetables. You wil want to be diary and gluten free for the first six weeks at least. Nicole

Recipes 5 days, 16 hours agoHappy weekend all,
I received my BSS Cookbook and am deep into preparing my grocery list. I start the eating plan on Monday with Week 2 of Prep. (I’m not sure why it isn’t called Week 1 of the Basic Plan! LOL) I have a couple of questions:
The book and the Nutrition Basics download list carbs per meal as 15 grams. It further states, ” As…[Read more]-
Hi Shelly – I usually use what is recommended on the protein powder I am using. my current protein powder recommends 1 scoop. that is 130 calories and 7.5 carbs ..I add 1 tsp ground flax seed and 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk that brings carbs up to 10 and calories up to 199. I usually have 1 ounce of nuts before my walk so I have enough fuel…[Read more]

Recipes 1 week, 1 day agoTabbouleh with Quinoa
The more herbs you add the better. They are very healthy for you. Quinoa is a complete protein and fantastic for your health, especially if you are a vegetarian.
To make quinoa tabbouleh 6-8 servings:
Combine 2 cups cooked, cooled quinoa with
1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered;
4-inch piece cucumber peeled, seeded, diced…[Read more]-
This sounds delicious Margaret I think I will make this tonight!

Margaret would it be suitable to use flax seed oil instead of olive oil??
-
If you like the taste of flax seed oil, you can use it. But I would use less, due to the taste.

Recipes 1 week, 1 day agoTis the season for grilling! I will be attending a couple of cookouts later this month. I would love to hear of any ideas you may have for desserts or side dishes (other than greens/veg salad) to go with burgers and brats. I need a dessert or side dish to feed a group of 20, one that won’t spoil sitting out in the open for several hours. Thanks!

Hi Vimala, How about a quinoa tabbouleh. A bean salad will hold up as well. Or you could grill veggies, squash, yams, bell peppers, onions etc. These can be eaten with your hands. Just coat with olive oil and any seasoning you want.
A good dessert (not BSS) would be a strawberry-rhubarb crisp. You could try using ground almonds instead of some of…[Read more]-
Thank you, Margaret. The tabbouleh recipe looks yummy!

None of us on the advanced plan can eat it but barbecued corn is calling me every time i walk through the vegetable section these days.

The best thing to do is to not look back – look ahead and start again – a do over – your gonna do it better today than yesterday – baby steps – start by cutting the sugar and carbs for sure- it is never ever to late to start again!
Hi Rissa – A life style change is a learning experience . Two weeks lost is no big deal when you are looking at how you are gong to feel for the rest of your life. Now is a good time to re read the book and visit here often. Reach out by private emails to the friends you have made here for support if more support is needed. Look at your life and…[Read more]
What you ate yesterday doesn’t matter. What eat today–at your next meal, your next snack–does. Think about the best choices you could make for that next meal or snack, and make them. But let those bad meals from the last two weeks slip out of your mind like so many twinkie wrappers in the wind.
