Noell's food plan for this day, and BEYOND

[NoellBlue1]

TooSweet, I feel OK, I'm a bit tired since I've been loosing.   

[umpa]

More veggies;D

[shawn116]

It should get better soon    I agree with Umpa about the viggies...that being said I tend to forget veggies sometimes myself...Haha  It's a balance kinda thing.  Maybe try adding in some small salads here and there. It's hard to concentrate on it all when you first get started.  You'll get your FTS legs under you before you know it.  Are you taking a good multi vitamin?  That might be a good idea incase you are missing some nutrients with your meals.  Hang in there...you are doing great

Great idea toosweet8)

I agree!... Finding that "balance"with veggies in meal plans can be challenging.

There are days I know I don't enough of them.
That's why I take supplements EVERYDAY so I'm sure that my body is getting what it needs (even when I'm lazy).

Noelblue1,  your infection might disappear with time and don't be surprised because it's sugar that feeds yeast and other infections in our bodies that produces yeast.  I'm proud of you for your loss of weight and your dedication

[NoellBlue1]

Thank you Jay, I did not know that

[mouseissue]

Jay is right, Noell!

It's amazing how many bad things feed on blood glucose.
When we keep it in check, we won't get sick as often.

In fact, I haven't had a cold, flu, bronchitis, or any bad bug since I started FTS over 3 years ago!
Before then, I could count on all of them (even more) at least once a year!

Thank you for the tip Tony.  I'm learning that sugar is the root of all sorts of illnesses, yikes!     Update on the bladder issues, I've been feeling a lot better and I didn't take the cranberries pills for a couple of days now, plus I've been drinking a LOT of water and hot green tea.  Here's my meals for today.

(1.)    1 can of tuna and a rock star sugar free energy drink

(2.)    2 slices of low carbolicious pizza kit (6 carbs)

(3.)    2 slices of low carbolicious pizza kit (6 carbs) (again)

(4.)    1 whole bag of Seaweed snacks (2 carbs)

(5.)    ground turkey with real bacon bits, 4 green olives and olive oil and green beans (2 carbs)

(6.)    pork rinds and 1 sugar free life saver

[umpa]

Yeah me spies veggies! Do you always eat this bland?

[NoellBlue1]

Hi Umpa, I will try to eat more veggies.  I usually keep my meals easy, and simple for less mess and convenience.  I do have the FTS cook book volume 1.  I will post my meals from today this evening. (Been slacking off a little.)  As an update I lost another pound this week.

[NoellBlue1]

(1.)    crab salad.  0 carb sugar free energy drink w a half of tbs of peanut butter (3 carbs) 

(2.)    3 slices of cheddar 

(3.)    3 oz of chicken baked w/o bone or skin

(4.)    ground turkey cooked in olive oil w 3 olives and bacon bits plus half cup of low fat cheese (2 carbs)

(5.)    half cup of strawberries w whipped cream (7 carbs)   

(6.)    chicken w Walden BBQ and low fat cheese (1 carb) 

(7.)    3 excitemint sugar free sours (3 carbs)

I'm just a little mad at Walmart because the strawberries I purchased looked good from the outside but then when I took them home...about 75% of the berries we soggy or bruised.  They brag about how fresh their produce is, but when someone buys the stuff it ends up a waste of money and time. 

[NoellBlue1]

Oops, I left out the green beans I ate, half a cup = 3 carbs

[shawn116]

I know it's a pain but they will take the berries back.  I hate when that happens
