Guest guest Posted May 13, 2002 Report Share Posted May 13, 2002 Are you using Sugar Free Syrup? OJ isn't good either. This first meal is twice the calories of most of the other meals? Are these BFL pancakes? Where is the protein? PB & Jelly is not a BFL meal! There are many things wrong with that meal. Yogurt, raisins, and granola is a high carb meal. Where is the protein? Make sure the rice is brown rice if possible. I think you should be getting at least 30 gm of protein per meal. Get the carbs under control and get adequate protein and the love handles will eventually disappear provided you are doing the workouts. Maybe try to average 350-400 calories per meal.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2002 Report Share Posted May 13, 2002 ARGH!!!!!! , I don't even know where to start! Okay, I read Terri's input and she pretty much covers all the ground that I would anyway. I have a feeling that you are increasing your carb ratios due to your desire to add more cardio activities to your daily life.... you are the same who asked about training for some events, right? If not, then I am terribly sorry for the error. However, I am going to lay it on the line for you... you need to make a decision. Decide whether you want to be an endurance athlete or whether you want to whittle away those love handles. You can't have both AT THE SAME TIME. Weight training is the long-term solution to excess bodyfat. You will not build much muscle, if any at all, eating this way AND training this way. All that cardio is eating away at your muscle tissue, plus you are not eating enough protein to build new muscle. That combination is what's keeping your love handles around. I am not saying that you cannot ever mesh training for distance events with BFL. I AM saying that the distance training does not fit with your goal of losing that last bit of bodyfat. To do that you need to follow the BFL book. It already worked for you before, why change it now? Jen B. > Surgar seems to be in alot of the foods I eat.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hey Vicki and others.. I found a new sugar free item I LOVE. You see I have been sort of bad lately.. but getting my act under control. I had a TERRIBLE chocolate binge. Was talking with a friend and she recommended sf fudgesickles... no sugar and chocolate all in one ! So of course off to the store I went ! I FOUND EM ! Oh are they good.. and I am eating less chocolate that has sugar in it ! The box says 2 g sugar 2 g protein and only 20 calories. YUM Ginger > > > > I didn't realize it could make you gain 5 pounds so > quickly............. > > > > nuff said!! > > > > Vicki > > the unhappy camper! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
