Meal Plans / Quick start then stall
« on: April 27, 2012, 01:09:25 PM »
I started a topic on this thread http://www.fattoskinny.net/index.php?topic=4355.0  and was asked to post my menu here for review.


BREAKFAST
Scrambled - Egg, 1 eggs   
Thorn Apple Valley - Hardwood Smoked Bacon, 2 pan fried slices
Or
Mexican Scramble: 1 Scrambled egg, Daisy Sour Cream - 1tbsp, Ground sirloin - 2 ounces, Kraft Sharp Cheddar Cheese block (shredded) 1-1.5 ounces.
Or
Large Curd Cottage Cheese - 1/2 cup

LUNCH
Tomatoes - Red (Diced), 1/8 cup   
Cheese - Mozzarella - Fresh, 2 oz   
Kraft - Light House Italian Dressing - 2 TBSP, or Newman's Own Italian dressing - 2 TBSP    
Cucumber - Peeled, raw, 0.5 cup
Or a salad with 1cup of Romaine lettuce and same serving sizes as listed of cucumber, tomato, cheddar cheese, etc.

DINNER
Low Carb Chicken Cordon Bleu, 1 serving(s) (3-5 ounces of Tyson's frozen chicken breast, Hillshire Farm - Deli Select Baked Ham Thin Sliced, 2 slices, Kraft Deli Fresh - Natural Swiss Cheese, Extra Thin Swiss Slices, 1 slice 
Or
3-5 ounces of    Chicken breast with 1/2 cup Bertolli Alfredo sauce with 1 cup of broccoli
Or
Lemon Butter Cod - 3-4 ounces, with 1 cup of broccoli, and 2-4 TBLSP homemade McCormick Hollandaise sauce (made with butter and water - NO MILK)
Or
Grilled top loin Pork Chops - 3-4 ounces
Or
Grilled ground chuck with 1 tsp of Hellman's Mayo, and a drizzle of yellow mustard

Additional sides:
Hidden Valley - Ranch Dip Prepared With Reg. Sour Cream, 1 tblsp.
Lettuce Romaine - Fresh Express Hearts of Romaine, 1 cups   
Kraft - Sharp Cheddar Cheese Block, 1 oz   
1 cup frozen green beans

SNACKS (If I have a snack here are the usual):
Cucumber - Peeled, raw, 0.5 cup, pared, chopped   
Hidden Valley - Ranch Dip Prepared With Reg. Sour Cream, 1 tbls
Kraft Deli Fresh - Natural Swiss Cheese, Extra Thin Swiss Slices, 1 slice   
Ready Whip - Original - Real Cream, 2 Tbls.   
Jell-O (Jello) - Raspberry-Sugar Free (Box), 1/8 package   
Slim Jim - Snack Stick, 1 Stick (8g)   

Water:  80-100 ounces a day ALWAYS...even before starting this plan.

We eat dinner at around 6pm and 1 or 2 days I have had the sugar free jello with Redi-whip as described above, but mostly we don't have anything to eat after dinner at all.  I may have peeled cucumbers with ranch dip or a mini Slim Jim snack stick at around 3:30pm (snack between lunch and dinner while I'm at work), but again, this is maybe 1 or 2 days a week.  My menu and sides are pretty much the same portions just switched around at various meals.

I have always been a major water drinker.  If I only drink 64 ounces a day I wake up dehydrated because my body is used to 80-100 ounces a day every day.  My husband is currently consuming between 60-70 ounces a day, but only since we started this plan.  Previously, I would guess he drank around 30 ounces a day and drank coffee and coca cola, so larger amounts of water consumption is somewhat new to him.  Since I have kept a daily food diary I can post what I have eaten.  Where should I post this?

My husband and I read the book and started two and a half weeks ago.  We both lost lost 7 pounds after the first 3 days, then stalled.  After being on this program for the past 2 weeks, strictly measuring our food, and staying under 20 net carbs a day (I average 10-15 net carbs a day and my husband averages 15-20 net carbs a day), I have only lost 1.8 pounds (1.2 pounds the first full week, and only 0.6 after this second full week) and my husband has only lost  2 pounds, averaging 1 pound a week.  The other thing that is perplexing is that our breakfast and lunch are completely different and then we eat dinner together, so we aren't even eating the exact same things.  I use a free food diary online that calculates my daily calories, carbs, sugar, fat, fiber, and potassium, so I know exactly how many net carbs I eat every day.  Why did we both start out so good and now both of us have slowed so dramatically?  Do we need to add exercise?  I average 1,200 - 1,600 calories a day on this program (which is technically still within a typical calorie deficit for weight loss), but should I cut back to lower calorie, low carb foods?  We are both a bit frustrated and any insight would be greatly appreciated!
