Guess who's back

[2of3]

I'm back. After 4 weeks holiday and one week of being ill, I've now been back on the beach for a week. So far so good. I've been doing phase 1 without dairy since I've discovered that I'm intolerant (it runs in my family apparently).

I'm going to do one more week in Phase 1 and then move on to phase 2.

Cause of the lack of dairy, I've been struggling with snack ideas (I used to eat plain yoghurts and cheese before). This become even more critical this week since I'm restarting the gym and will need a pre-work out snack first thing in the morning.

Does anyone have any suggestions for something I can eat which is not too heavy and will sustain me through a one-hour workout?

Welcome back, 2/3! Sorry to hear about your dairy intolerance--I know it must have been hard to give up your cheese and yogurt. For a pre-workout snack, I'd suggest something with protein. Maybe a handful of almonds, or a flax muffin (the egg really gives it a lot of staying power, and I know Judy adds protein powder to hers, too.) Or veggies dipped in hummus. Or a smoothie made with soy milk and berries (I make this for my daughter a lot--she can't have dairy, either.)

Good luck to you!

I'll toss in hard boiled eggs. I often have those as a pre-workout snack as they are filling and give you lots of good protein. Welcome back!

I eneded up having a smoothie (with spinach) this morning but will definitely give the eggs a try tomorrow.
