I haven't been the perfect "cave woman".. I have had so many cheat days lately, I gained a little weight back and had HORRIBLE indigestion for the past 3 days. Ok ok, I learned my lesson. I can't do THAT many cheats. I'm back on schedule now. For breakfast I just had coffee with a touch of organic 1% milk. I should have had more, but I still have bad indigestion. For lunch, I had 2 eggs (tried to over easy them, but it didn't work too well), and an Andouille artichoke sausage with a detox tea. Not sure about dinner yet. I think it's time to try a new recipe.
Just came across this yummy appetizer I want to try:
Guacamole Devils
Ingredients (for 8 devils):
- 4 hard boiled eggs
- 1 avocado
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- salt & pepper to taste
- 8 thin slices Prosciutto
I'll post my results and modifications after I make it. Sounds delicious though!! I think I'll probably crisp the prosciutto a little bit so it's more like bacon on top.
Time to go work out!
Hi Sarah! I enjoy reading your posts because I don't know too many people on the diet. I am on day 6, lost 4 pounds, and its really getting easier :). I find that I don't really want to eat bad foods; But I really haven't slipped at all in these 6 days and I'm worried if I eat anything bad I will just gain the weight back so quickly. How bad did you cheat? I'm just wondering how much cheating is ok before the weight comes back like crazy.

If you're losing weight already, you're doing great!! I didn't lose for about a week and a half. I was getting discouraged. I don't think I cheated too bad, but over the span of about 2 weeks, I had a cupcake (or 2...), a tortilla and chips, naan, and bread pudding. I just couldn't help myself. I pretty much kept the weight off. If I had gained a pound or two, it came off really fast. Don't worry about eating something in moderation, but I took advantage of it. I am still having digestive problems. I'm not sure if it's fiber content or if it's just indigestion, but it's been going on for over a week. I would suggest taking vitamins (I just take a multi). I think I'm going to get flaxseed oil pills or some other pill that provides fiber and hope it helps. I don't know many people doing this either, so it's nice to be able to talk to people that are.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah. I tried moderate cheating and it was great and I didn't gain the weight back but also didn't feel too well. I have been taking a fiber sup. Fiber gummies are really tasty, or just Fibercon with lots of water. Just beware the first day or so your stomach might be gurgling and getting used to it.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way when I cheat! I think I'm going to get some of those fiber gummies after work today. Glad to know it's still going great for you! Thanks!!
