Could you look at my diet plan?

I have a hot cerial that I sometimes eat in the morning that is made out of ground flaxseeds. It has a ton of fiber in it - it has 7 grams of good fat, 12 grams carbs - 10 of which are fiber and 13 grams protein. It tastes pretty good too (if you like flax seeds). On days I have it, my fiber is always over 35 grams... What sort of cereal is this? It sounds good. Can you eat too much fiber? Well, you'll know if you do :-). I once went to a conference in California where huge trays of fresh fruit were put out morning and afternoon for snacks. It was winter and most of us were from the east coast, where we hadn't been getting fresh fruit for months. By the second afternoon, the hotel shop was sold out of Kaopectate :-). Chris |

Jennifer, that's quite the way that I felt. I'm an Aquarian too, btw. Aquarians rock. One day when my back was killing me I just decided to change. I spent a very happy year losing weight and have had little difficulty keeping it off.

I brought my own ice cream (low sugar, low fat) and am budgeting it in. Your new life is ahead of you - enjoy your transformation s That sounds so nice. Walking (but mostly biking!) on . . .

I'll find out the exact name of it tonight when I get home and I'll let you know. It is really filling, but it does get old quick (I can't imagine it for breakfast every day). It has no sweetener in it, so I add splenda. It is "butter pecan" flavor - I guess it sort of tastes like butter pecan, but not much. It has real pecans in it too. Can you eat too much fiber? Well, you'll know if you do :-). Oh, My. I once went to a conference in California where huge trays of fresh fruit were put out morning and afternoon for snacks.

Lol, My mom used to give us apple juice when we were constipated, so that makes perfect sence. -Jen |

My goals are to lose weight, keep my lean body mass and build strength ... Other reasons for dieting are that I have GERD, snore, have little strength or energy ... Most low carbers stop having GERD when they start low carbing. GERD in many cases is caused by high carb foods. My snoring went from constant and loud to occasional and not loud when I stopped snoring and it turned out that my snoring was caused by wheat which is limited on low carb. I have since cured a few friends of snoring by getting them to eliminate either wheat or corn from their diets. And studies of low carb indicate that the lean mass retention as as good as or better than low fat plans for the same total calories. I'm eating around 1800 calories a day on average Good total calories. Good workout. Good stuff. Basically it looks like you're doing fine but you should consider low carb rather than low fat because of your GERD and snoring. Fine tuning given that your total calories already make good sense. |
