I think you can just add in some additional yellow and red carbs and perhaps increase your serving sizes a bit. The quality of the foods are what is most important. I want everything I eat to have healing powers at this pio in. No empty calories. I can’t wait til I am at 120. It’s going to be a while I suspect I’m hovering at 164 on Day 1 of week 11.

Hi Shayna,
You can eat more good quality olive oil. Avocados, nuts, olives and beans or allowed grains. I have been maintaining my weight for 4 months with just slight additions to the BSS basic plan.
Since you do not have much weight to loose, your body may not shed the pounds. People are getting different results on the same program because…[Read more]

In reply to: Shayna posted an update in the group Diet & Nutrition Sorry to post what might seem like a dumb question…what about fasting? If I fasted for 24 hours would I do anything to cause problems with the diet? ViewThank you Nicole. I do not have a support group. so I am using this forum to ask my questions. The fasting will be for religious reasons not to lose weight. Going without sugar, bread and sweetners is difficult. However; much less difficult than getting diabetes.

I thought it might be for religious reasons . since you are not diabetic In sure you will be just fine just make sure you drink plenty of fluids. You might want to skip supplements on that dy too as the can be harsh on your stomach on an empty stomach. After a few days you will be one craving sugar, bread and sweeteners.

Shayna- This is a lifestyle change that will stabilize your blood sugar level, reduce your cholesterol and blood pressure and because you are eating healthier you will also lose weight. Being that you will be eating healthy food with healing powers you will not need to fast for full days at a time to achieve the results. if you are diabetic you…[Read more]

Shayna- i fast once a month for religious reasons as well, and it hasn’t’ been a problem for me. not one bit.

Hi Shayna,.
We all follow this plan our own way. If you have fasted in the past comfortably, then you would probably be ok fasting on this program. Just make sure the liquids you do drink are sugar free like herbal tea, water, almond milk or coconut water/milk.
When you break your fast vegetables and a little protein will work.
Blessings, Margaret

Good morning Shayna. Chapter 29 recipes and shopping lists has several protein shake recipies. dr Hyman also recommends PGX fiber capsules that you can get at health food stores.

i say, add as much of whatever that you want to your shakes. make them your own!!!! just be sure to check ingredients carefully at first, and you will be just fine.

Ground flax seed is a good form of fiber as well as the PGX caps. I do both as well as eat raw.

Shayna, You get the capsules at vitamin stores or health food stores. There is a large chain called the Vitamin Shoppe that caries the products. You should call a store before you go to see where they are. If your husband is going to California they will be easy to find.
Another option is to order on the internet, Dr Hyman’s site sells them, I…[Read more]
