Hi everyone:
I have tried to do the CAD, but having trouble dividing everything into thirds. I've tried the 3 bowl things as suggested. Measurement wise: when you're dividing up your plate into 1/3's, are the piles supposed to be the same heighth & width size, weight or what??? I guess I just don't get it. All I know is that, protein, veggies and starches have different caloric values. I've read the book over and over and looking for the answers I need. NOW, HERE IS MY QUESTION: Has anyone out there mastered weighing everything in ounces instead of 1/3 portions??? I would be curious as to how that works out. I mean the book does state: 3-4 ozs of protein for complimentary meals, 2 cups of greens, etc., so why wouldn't that formula work for the reward meal?
Example for reward meal: What would the proportionate ounces be for:
6 ozs. of meat
_____ ozs. or cup(s) of green (low carb) veggies
_____ ozs. of bread, potato, desserts, etc. (MIX & MATCH)
Give precise examples please. Thanks
Also, it appears that "entry" and plan "B" are the same !!!
Over Thanksgiving, Xmas and New Years, I put 16 lbs. back on and I feel terrible and fat and those 8's I've been wearing are reallllllllly tight. I really binged terribly.
Really would like to make this work, because having that reward meal makes up for any deprivation you experience during the day. Any help the group can give is extremely appreciated. Happy New Year !!! If anyone wants to email me at meldan111 at hotmail dot com. I have free long distances if anyone is interested in talking on phone. Email your name and phone number. I'm not a weirdo
