Good grief, it has taken until NOW to drop another pound..153 this morning. That has been about 2 weeks, probably more- I lost count. And I can feel the telltale signs of very slowed metabolism too the past few days..feeling colder, body not as lively, a bit more achy. I guess I need to do a refeed. I hate gaining the water and being back at square one etc. As I am doing a heavy 45 min aerobics workout this morning I think I may need to do a small carb-up for breakfast to cope...I will have two slices of rye bread toast (87 cal, 25g carbs) with my eggs. That's still allowable calories, but a bit higher in carbs of course.
Lynne, the problem with having pre-ground seeds and nuts, never mind the high calories, is that their unique nutritional goodness has pretty much gone. You really need to grind them and eat immediately..especially flax seed which loses its omega-3 really fast, and when cooking, altogether I believe. When I think about it, it was all this sort of stuff along with the fat calories that put on my extra 14 pounds the past year or so.
Nancy, what other brans are you able to use?
