Magic, I hear/feel your pain. I used to do the same thing when I was working. One thing that has worked for me is Clementines. Somehow, if I eat one of those, it sates my hunger, and it's small enough not to do too much damage till I can get to the real food.
I'm starting to feel motivated. A old friend of mine, whom I haven't seen in 40 or so years, is coming to Athens in early November on her way to relocation to Florida. That's enough to provide me with a bit of motivation. (I'll take whatever I can get
).
Today:
Br: V8, All-Bran Bran Buds, blueberries, banana, skim milk
Lu: spinach salad with hummus, and Laughing Cow cheese wedge, ak mak crackers
Sn: pear/skim mozzarella stick
Di: mixed green salad with Bolthouse dressing, baked chicken with vegetable TBD, Dave's killer thin bread slice, pistachios0 -
Your menu sounds very good...very SB, Silver.
I am going to stop at the store on the way home and get the ingredients to make cabbage soup with vegetables. I’m going to have my juices that I make fresh and see if the cabbage soup will help in the in between times!0 -
I found it on the Internet seven day diet weight-loss soup wonder soup author divas can cook0

Yesterday did not work out quite as planned. Everything was fine, till at the last minute, my daughter and I decided to order in Chinese food. I got the wonton soup and steamed chicken with broccoli, which was fine, but I also had some of the fried noodles and a fortune cookie. Oh well, progress not perfection.
Today will be better. My usual breakfast, lunch, and snack, but dinner will be the remaining steamed chicken and broccoli.

Hi, guys. I hope all is well with you. Things have been quiet on this board. I'm actually doing well, even though I haven't posted. I've gone back to my SB Phase 2 pattern, and I feel better.0

Hey there ladies! Just had a big birthday...bought a new juicer Kuvings slow wide mouth C7000...arrives today.
Been watching lots of YouTubes … John Kohler especially. Learning lots from him. LOTS!
Still gluten free. Found a great GF bread...Canyon Bakehouse. Great products. Does not taste like dust. REALLY GOOD! https://canyonglutenfree.com/ They carry a two pack at Costco. Only one variety... 7 Grain only. But man, super good.
What I have discovered in juicing: Prior to getting dx with cancer 6/19/98, I weighed 122 and was juicing daily … mostly carrots and apples...think it was a Braun, actually. Centrifugal
Now, you do not get as much yield, nor as much nutrition. The heat on the centrifugal messes up the juice.
With that said, I was really healthy when I was dx. (The juice was still good...just not the best). I mean really. Was not THAT young. 49. Juicers have come a long way since 1998.
But I was able to withstand the onslaught of chem, radiation, two surgeries. Had Ewings Sarcoma in my left clavicle. Very rare.
(Just read a top chef dx with same cancer: https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-body/news/top-chef-star-fatima-alis-terminal-cancer-what-is-ewings-sarcoma/)
There was absolutely no cancer in our family. I was it.
I am telling you all this because take care of yourself. I have been reading that carrots and apples are great for fighting cancer. This is way after the fact of my battle. Wow. I think that is what saved my life. Anyway, you just never know. Stay in the best of health. Do whatever it takes...cuz stuff happens and if you have a great immune system and a strong body...well, your odds of surviving are so much better.
Now, I need to make appointment with my oconolgist today...missed my yearly...she is the one that told me last year (I had not been seen in almost 18 years, long story)...she said, to celebrate go buy yourself another juicer. I had told her about my health before being dx. I thought I wanted to buy a new Keurig to celebrate the good news. She said GET THE JUICER.
Wishing you all a glorious fall. The weather here in the Valley of the Sun is outstanding. 8 months now of bliss.
Later, dollies.

Wow, Magic. Happy birthday! Do see your oncologist--that would be taking care of yourself. We are having lovely weather here in Athens, GA too--cool in the mornings and evenings, warm during the day. It is wonderful for walking the dog.0

Hi, Magic, I'm still here. Basically eating the same stuff I've been eating; it's the between-meals stuff I have to cut out. Halloween is always tough, especially if no kids come by. So I gorged, then brought the remaining goodies to my apt. management office just to get them out of the house. With Thanksgiving coming up, I'm just hoping to maintain where I am now. I'll do a real reboot after the holidays. Just don't want to do too much damage.1

Hey there, Silver...that sounds like a great plan.
I have been juicing a lot this past year...and then since this last April, really upped my game ...now with my new juicer time to step up once more...
Started a JUICE FAST aka FEAST yesterday...juice only with some chicken stock at night or when things get tough. Should be vegetable stock ...but have not made it yet with the pulp.
So, for now, Organic Chicken Stock from Costco...they have a six pack. Very satisfying.
I had never juiced only and really wanted to see if I could do it. I have tried and failed. But am in a few Joe Cross groups on facebook and they are very supportive...so they talked me through my first day.
Today:
Mean Green
Mean Green
Celery/Apple
Carrot/Apple/Ginger/Lemon
Carrot/Apple/Ginger/Lemon
Tumeric/Sweet Potato/Orange
Chicken Stock
Herbal Teas

Wow, Magic, I am impressed by your determination and motivation. I haven't got that in me at the moment. How are your knees doing?0

Juice fast did not last...but I have stopped GF bread, GF rice pasta and popcorn. I just was having too difficult a time on my very long days at work.
However, I am going to try and juice all day on my days off (Tues - Thur) and have a couple of light salads or a broth and a salad. I just can't seem to find a good vegetable broth...so I opt for chicken. NOT thrilled with that choice; although it is tasty from Sprouts...free range, organic.
However, there is a Vietnamese restaurant in my area that makes a vegan Pho. So I will get that WITHOUT THE NOODLES.
Now, to the most important part of the question...my knees. This way of eating is working for me...my pain and significantly diminished ... along with using CBD pain cream. 1000mg dose in the cream...but it works. I had been in such a state I could not even function.
Now to just lose the final fifteen.
Hope you two are doing well...thinking of you Silver during this time...I know it will be difficult...hope you have a good support system. Hugs, kiddo.
