20 tabasco or serrano chiles, stemmed and cut crosswise into 1/8-inch slices, or 12 very ripe red jalapenos (about 10 ounces)
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
3/4 cup thinly…[Read more] -

In reply to: Pamela Brown-Seely posted an update Week 3 and I am doing incredibly well. The first week I lost 5 pounds and the second only 1 pound, but I lost 2 inches total from my waist. The sugar cravings are more of an […] ViewYou expressed my feelings on the cravings as well – an annoyance that I can overlook. The first week was harder for me than it is now (I’m also in week 3) but not eating pasta, potatoes, crackers, etc. has been a great help to my life these past 3 weeks. Hooray for the Blood Sugar Solution!

In reply to: Kym Vance posted an update After three weeks on the program, today, I found myself at a confrence with nothing on the list. I had some processed foods and some sugar. What a lesson. Had no idea how badly these […] ViewHi Kym,
So sorry for that tiny setback but this is a good lesson for ALL of us! My husband is doing the advanced plan with me (more for moral support than a real desire on his part) and I told him how I plan to continue eating this way to the best of my ability after the six weeks is over. I asked him if he will continue as well. He was quite…[Read more] -

Day 19, Week 3 day 4
Went out of town during Easter and stayed true to plan fairly well. I ate at a couple an Asian buffet and at a Golden Corral buffet. I stuck with my meats and vegetables and salad. Unfortunately some of the meat at both of the resturaunts had a hint of sweetness to the sauce the meat was cooked in but all in all, I feel I was…[Read more] -

In reply to: Donna posted an update I made the corn tortilla’s and I have to say BLAND is the word. I will try the chip recipe with them and see if they are at all improved. Donna ViewI think I might like some corn tortillas when I get off of the advanced plan – is that recipe in the book?
-
Yes it is on page 279, not how to make the tortillias from scratch (I got that on line) but how to make them into chips.

In reply to: Pamela Brown-Seely posted an update Want donut!! ViewDonut BAD, carrot GOOD! lol! Saute some onions and bell peppers on medium heat with olive oil and throw in some already cooked chicken, ground beef or steak; the sweet notes from the vegetables will taste great! You may want to cook the onions/vegs until they caramelize but I don’t know if that’s ‘legal’ or not (?) Maybe someone who knows…[Read more]

In reply to: hawaiiBarbara posted an update Anyone else do green smoothies or a green ”soup”? If so what protein do you have with it? I don’t care for the taste of the protein powders with it & eggs & I are not getting along. […] ViewHi hawaiiBarbara,
In the morning when I have green smoothies, I put chia and flax seeds in the mix, although now my blender is broke so I won’t be making my regular smoothies until I get a new one (I’ll just have the seed w/o any greens)
My green ‘soups’ are just any green vegetables I have on hand or that I have a taste for along with the…[Read more] -

Day 10 – Week 2 day 3
All things food wise were similar to my other days:green smoothie, chicken, ground beef with vegetables.
Felt pretty good. My bowels aren’t moving as well as at the beginning; I really need to do some more vigorous exercise as well as increase my water intake which has not been as much as it should be. -

Today is the last day of my first week and I made it through pretty good. No overly difficult desires for eating my forbidden foods.
This week I had:
** Good, steady energy without feeling bouts of tiredness, even after eating.
** I noticed my bowels are becoming more regular without even resorting to a more focused effort of trying to make them…[Read more]-
Hi Sye, It is good to hear from you. Fantastic week for you. Choosing to care for your body and health over hedonistic temptations (on every corner and in TV commercials, and in other people’s comments) is not easy. I sometimes think about how I would feel after having that (whatever forbidden food pops into my mind) something to eat and I know I…[Read more]

That means to cut the rib like stem parts out of the kale so you just have the plain, flat leaf left.
Hee, hee – I had to think about that myself for a minute!

Thanks! I think I will try this!
