    Your meal looks SO good!
    I know that's cabbage (which I also love!), but the overall feel of your meal just reminded me that I can get canned collard greens when I go up to visit my parents this weekend! I am checking a bag (thank you, Southwest!!!!), so I can and will bring a ton back.
    I love those flavored almonds -- have you ever tried Nature Box? They have all different flavors, and they are all so good!

    I have not tried Nature Box, I will have to check them out.

    Tracey, your meals always look great. I haven’t had cabbage in I can’t remember how long, and now I find myself wondering why. It’s definitely making the meal roster this week!

    Looks good! I miss macaroni and cheese. I wish WF sold gluten-free macaroni and cheese -- I've heard theirs is so good!

    Went to a funeral today and ended up eating an hour early at 4:00 pm. I then had desert around 8:00 and shared a taco salad with my husband after 9:00. I ended up having an eating window of 4:00 - 10:00 pm.

    Sometimes you gotta have some little deviations. Not a big deal. Long term patterns matter!

    That's true, @blambo61. Tracey, sorry to hear you have had to attend a funeral.

    My timings have been all over the place while on vacation and just trying to get it back to an order now. I'm sure you will be getting back to normal today.

    Will be making adjustments for this week. Adjustments will include incorporating alternating low carb days and alternating meal times. This week's plan will look like this:

    Great work keeping under your goal weight, good luck with your plan this week :)
  • tlblanksfit

    I want my numbers to be more consistent (the big jumps literally freak me out) so I think the alternate day low carb meals will help with that at least I hope.

    Looks like a good plan. Good luck with the next few days and LC.

    Will you have high fat days with your LC?

    My low carb days will be high fat more following a keto diet meal.
  • jeanona
    jeanona Posts: 158 Member
    Good luck!

    I'm trying out high fat days as well (had 4 eggs and a lot of cheese yesterday) but for me, it's to replace all the sweet foods I'm trying to withdraw from rather than following a keto plan.

    Would be interested to know how you go with keto.
  • tlblanksfit

    I did the keto diet before switching to OMAD. I liked it and it worked for me, but it got kind of hard to stick to as I have people in my house who keep the high carb foods around and it became hard to resist. I believe the alternate day will be no problem though because I would not be denying, I would just be delaying for a day.

    I like the idea of delaying instead of denying. That's a great attitude!
