Just scrolling through the thread Best of luck to you. I was wondering, however, you wrote you had 2 cups of coffee w/ff milk and sugar. Coffee has been linked to insulin excretion especially combined with a meal. You put FF milk in it already, why add sugar? Since you have your oatmeal with blueberries, I know it may taste like crap but it should do. No? =o/ Just an observation

Without sugar coffee tastes like crap, so I´m adding a very little spoon sugar. I´m working on to finish that
And I like blueberries, but I´m not sure are we talking about same berry though

 

[Lady Viking]

You should add some protein here, like some egg whites.....

I´ll cook eggs already tonight so the´ll be ready tomorrow morning

5. 10 pm tuna salad (same as yesterday)

I planned to do weight training for legs tonight but I got fever. Lil´one has a cold too Hope I feel better tomorrow.

 

[Lady Viking]

Yes, please feel much better. I'm sure we're talking about the same berry and if I happen to be wrong then it does not make much of a difference, considering berries are about the healthiest fruit you can eat. They are rich in antioxidants and loaded with fiber. YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIVE MISERABLY! there are alternatives to sugar. You can be desperate and just use the usual artificial sweetener splenda. You can take a different approach and buy Stevia at your local healthfood store or order it online at stevia.com or any other stevia supported site. It is a plant grown in Paraguay used by many different nations for years to sweeten food. No chemicals, no glycemic index, nothing. Just sweetness. CONSUME BERRIES! Berries are wonderful. If you absolutely need it even throw a SMALL handful of raisins into your oatmeal.

Protein/oatmeal combos: Oats with:

egg whites/with one whole egg
cottage cheese
Fatfree farmer cheese
protein powder
meat, if you can handle that in the morning
fish
carb countdown milk contains 70 cals and 12g of protein in each cup, I believe. Oats form a complete protein when combined with milk. you can try that, and an egg white or two.

You can literally mix cottage and farmer cheese into your oatmeal when it's done. You can also cook with the egg whites and water, forms a chewy texture.
Try adding cinnamon into your oatmeal, it helps.
Make protein pancakes with your oats/egg whites and maybe some vanilla extract. Throw in cottage cheese for more texture/protein/taste. Top with cozy cottage sugarfree maple flavored syrup, it is sweetened with splenda...again..if you prefer I top mine with cottage/farmer cheese or a high protein cheese spread and sprinkle some cinnamon/stevia on top of that. I also put blueberries on top, it is wonderful.

Hope this helps! Comment for more ideas on anything.

Thanks

1. 9 am oatmeal, 2 slices rye bread, 3 egg whites --> I would eliminate the bread here & just have the oatmeal & eggs

2. 12 am grilled chicken, rice and green sallad (cucumber, tomatoes) --> Good!! Could use a fat, like Olive oil for dressing + vinegar

3. 3 pm 2 (little ) slices pizza -->not the best, but if you must, add some veggies & some type of protein

4. 6 pm green salad (cucumber, tomatoes, egg whites) --> Add some fats, like the Olive oil or flax oil or almonds on the salad

+ 4 cups coffee, fat free milk and sugar during the day

cardio 4 pm walking 30 minutes 3 km

Just some suggestions..... I hate waking up with a headache....

8 pm I was going to do legs, but I found aerobics lessons from vcr tapes and did one of them. I don´t know what it´s called but it was damn nice. I used dumbbels and stepbench, it took 30 minutes and it was for whole body.

5. 8.45 pm protein shake

e-l-i-m-i-n-a-t-e t-h-e b-r-e-a-d. If you MUST have bread then go to a healthfood store, or gnc sells it here in NY. Buy Bran of Flax bread. Bread is NO good for you. You will seriously slaughter your own results by eating that extra piece of carbs in the morning. Not only that, but your 1pm meal shouldn't contain more than 1 piece if at all (since you're a beginner). Honestly, just think about yourself for a second. I'm sure you would hate to be disappointed in the end. An open-faced tuna melt with 1 tsp of lite mayo and fatfree cheese would do JUST fine. Substitute the tuna for elk meat if you desire to do so.

I can´t eliminate rye bread, I love it. But I can limit it to 2 slices a day. So it does matter what time I eat it, am I correct? What is best time then to eat it? Noon? Evening?
