I lose very slowly too and hit plateaus on a regular basis it seems. I am
hoping that doing core will shake things up for me. Getting rid of the junk would be a great start. I think I need a little more structure in my diet instead of the "eat anything you want as long as you count the points" routine. I don't seem to be able to count the points very accurately for things so I may actually be over eating while I think I am on target. The elimination of the majority of the counting with core is a nice plus. I'm just having problems this week avoiding sandwiches and such. Too much eating out due to the holiday weekend. But I am eating better than before so I am happy about that. "frood" wrote in message m... Well, it worked really well until I hit that last plateau about 6 weeks ago. I lose very slowly - .5 per week, but it had been a steady loss. I'm very close to goal now, about 5 or 6 pounds (depending on how Monday's weigh in goes). If Flex doesn't work, I'll go back to Core until I reach goal. Obviously I can "maintain" on Flex!

"frood" wrote in message m... Well, it's sort of a moot point anyway. Monday I will return to Flex. But thanks for the input. I'll keep it in mind if I try Core again. -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm De-Fang email address to reply "Laura" wrote in message ... I don't know then. These are great menus for Core. Everybody is different. The only other suggestion is that you should also up the amount of fruit and go with more green veggies instead of the starchy ones. Maybe the carbs from the rice & beans are what are causing your cravings. "frood" wrote in message m... No, I'm not having bread or muffins everyday. This past week I spent my points on a beer, 1 cookie, low-fat sour cream and 1 hamburger bun. Sample menu: Breakfast banana cream of wheat or oatmeal milk black coffee Lunch baked potato with veg chili or black beans, corn, salsa or 2 boiled eggs Dinner (varies) stir fry tofu with veggies, brown rice or whole wheat pasta with homemade tomato sauce or tvp w/asparagus and brown rice PS I didn't mean that I had cookies everyday before, but I did have 1 Pt of chocolate every day on Flex. :-) -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm De-Fang email address to reply "Laura" wrote in message ... That is interesting. Are you having bread or muffin every day? That might be keeping your cravings going. How about posting a sample set of menus. Maybe you have a different "trigger" food still lurking in your menus that are causing the cravings. |

I think that there are some of us who can kick sugar, and I think there are
some of us who need carbs, even the healthy kind but carbs none the less, Lee frood wrote in message m... This is not true for me. If anything, my cravings for cookies and chocolate (which I had daily on the Flex plan, but I'm not willing to budget for on Core) has increased dramatically. I did plan on spending part of my 35 points this weekend on such indulgences. As of this morning, I have 25 points. English muffin with butter and jam for breakfast! :-) -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "Laura" wrote in message ... That is true but those on core have found that they are finding that their cravings for sugary things have dimished greatly and don't reach for cookies and cakes as much as they used to. There are also recipes available for core cookies made out of oatmeal. Here's one from another group: |
