Guest guest Posted January 24, 2001 Report Share Posted January 24, 2001 I ate chinese on Sunday and Monday had regained 7 pounds...Mom Pudge says it is the MSG they put in the food...thankfully today I am down 5, but it scared the heck out of me, and it did set me back.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2001 Report Share Posted January 24, 2001 ok chinese is a no no it will make you gain unless you ask for the food cooked specially with no sauce carb solution bars i dont really know the exact carb count i know they say two carbs but there are hidden carbs in all the bars. i would lose them for a while.. and balsamic vinegar has sugar in it so i would use plain old olive oil and vinegar on my salads.. also try to keep dairy under four oz a day and yes drink your water.. > ok guys, i have been back on the diet for about 2 weeks now and i am > not really going anywhere!!! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 24, 2001 Report Share Posted January 24, 2001 i agree Joya my biggest dread is when my parents want to take me to dinner cus they take me to either Chinese buffet or old country buffet and no matter how careful i am at picking what to eat i end up with at least a four pound gain and sometimes that even sets of a cheat i do just fine if i stay OUT of restarants catherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 24, 2001 Report Share Posted January 24, 2001 Melody, The chinese white sauce probably has either corn starch or flour in it. Chinese food is tricky. A lot of the sauces have sugar in them as well. Is your salad dressing store bought? Those carb solutions bars could also be stalling you. Water, water and more water! What is your total carb count per day?
