Eating Plan


pixiechic said: "looks like a pretty lengthy list of allowed foods. i'm sure that you are never left hungry!"

Jade_Michaels said: "Strange, alcohol is usually left off most diets and oatmeal is known as health food and is the suggested "gain" food! Is the diet working for you?"

pwyatt said: "Thanks for the great list of foods. I was wondering, what amount, if any designated number, is the calorie count? I'd like to drop about another 15 lbs. I've lost 10 in the last year. That seems so little, but it's staying off. I'll try to think of that as a positive. I'd love to hear some ideas. Pwyatt"

It mimicks the atkins plan. I need to be able to eat as a lifstyle change for the rest of my life. Some people tend to gain the weight back after they reach their goal. You have to know how to eat for the rest of your life. Stay healthy and good luck."

determinedtolose said: "I do wish you the best of luck. I keep the carbs pretty low myself and I am not a bread eater at all. I don't eat white flour products either. I do need some carbs for working out though. Keep me posted on your progress."

Elaine said: "Everything I like to eat is not on this list. All that alcohol seems a little off. Not many diets recommend drinking alcohol. Mainly because it gets broken down into sugars when your body metabolises it. If it isn't burned, it stores as fat and it also destroys your liver, over time. How much weight have you lost following this?"

Who knows....it might be helpful to someone. :) Meats: Any (not breaded) No limit Vegetables: Any (except for those stated below) No limit Carrots 1/2 piece Okra 1 cup Onions 1/4 piece Squash 1/2 piece Tomatoes 1/2 piece Do not eat potatoes, corn, peas, beans, seeds, avocadoes, or nuts. Fruits: Apple 1 piece Apricot 1 piece Cantaloupe 1 slice Cherries 1 cup Grafefruit 1/2 cup Grapes 1 cup Orange 1 piece Peach 1 piece Prunes 1 cup Strawberries 1 cup (ONE FRUIT PER DAY) Do not eat mango, papaya, pears, bananas, watermelon, or pineapple. Do not drink fruit juices. Dairy: Eggs No limit Low fat yogurt 1/2 cup twice a week White cheese No limit Do not eat cheddar cheeses or drink milk. Oils and Dressings: Cooking oil No limit Mayonaise 3 times a week Salad dressing Regular (white or clear) No limit Do not eat sour cream, mustard, A1 sauce, BBQ sauce, or ketchup. Cereals and Breads: Bacos 2/3 cup Corn tortilla 1 piece Croutons 1/2 cup Light popcorn 1/2 cup Saltines 5 - 10 pieces Whole wheat bread 1 slice Choose between bread, tortilla, or saltines once a day. No Oatmeal or cereal. Beverages: Black coffee Brandy Champagne Gin Martini Mineral water Red wine Rose wine Rum Sherry Tea Tequila Vodka Water 6 - 8 glasses per day Whiskey White wine Sam's Choice (gold) Diet Rite No diet sodas, beer, or wine coolers. Between meals: Cucumber with lemon Sugar free Jell-O Light popcorn Pork skins This is fairly easy for me since I'm not a big bread eater or fruit eater. But as you can see....I can still eat these things...just in moderation."

UniqueMystique said: "This is a low carb diet plan. No....I do not drink the alcohol. It is permitted but not in the place of water. The plan is fairly easy for me to follow since I generally only eat veggies and meat anyhow. At last I checked.....I had lost 15 pounds since January 21st.....and that was Friday. One must remember...moderation. You can't drop weight eating everything in sight...even if it is healthy."

UniqueMystique said: "pwyatt....my doc claims that I can eat as much as I want of the "no limit" foods. And that's fine and dandy for those who aren't really interested in keeping the weight off later. I don't eat breakfast....but that's just me, makes me feel famished all day long. For lunch I eat a small portion of meat (palm sized) and a serving of veggies. Dinner is the same as lunch. For a snack later after dinner...I usually have about 1/3 a bag of popcorn....or celery sticks with cream cheese."

UniqueMystique said: "Determined.....it is very much like the Atkins plan (seeing how there's a picture of My doc and Dr. Atkins in her office). I realize that this plan isn't for everyone. It's just easy for me to follow since I'm not a big bread, cereal, or fruit eater. I follow pretty much what is on the list (except the alcohol)...but I do eat other things from time to time. Essentially....I've taken my normal eating habits and cut down on the quantity and upped my exercise. I think that's what most everyone here has done. Denying yourself the foods that you like can only lead to bingeing. Since I'm not denying myself anything....or forcing myself to eat something I hate.....I'm pretty sure that this is the plan for me. :)"
