Thanks. A lot of recipes on Pinterest for spiralized sweet potatoes but that defeats the purpose. . . Spaghetti squash sounds good. I love butternut squash and there were some recipes for it.

Thanks, Claire. I dropped the voodles in salted boiling water for about 2 minutes and I liked the texture. Since I posted this, I went on Pinterest and found a lot of ideas for voodles. I was just stunned that it was so tasty! I have been gluten-free for about 2 years and gluten-free pasta is in general very bad. I should…

I know! that is one a lot of people don't know about and I have fed my dogs grapes and raisins in the past - they love them. Fortunately, I have always had big dogs and they did not suffer any ill effects but I quit doing it as soon as I learned about the danger.

Everyone remember that xylitol is toxic and potentially fatal to animals. This is what was in the chewing gum that caused recently publicized dog deaths.

Hi everyone: Since I was asked to keep you posted, here is a report. After 2 weeks on the Change Your Biology diet, I am down 5 lbs. Not really hungry so trying to stay above 1000 calories so that MFP does not scold me. I am keeping my % to 40 protein, 30 fat, and 30 carbs so not ketogenic and considerably above what most…

That is very similar to mine! I know a lot of people on here say they don't care much for meat but I do!! Typical evening is steak, chicken breast, or boneless pork chop which my husband grills and then a salad and a steamed or roasted vegetable. Very filling and delicious. I gave up gluten about 2 years ago and the…

Dragonwolf: BTW I changed my user name from rddennison to Kentuckybirdlover

5'1" 167 lbs. The 1270 came from MFP for my goal

Thanks, Sarah. Makes sense now!

New to this board and I know the V must be victory but exactly what is NSV?

Thanks everyone for your support! My calories are 1270 and I am considerably less than 150 grams of CHO and really trying to avoid sugars except in my two allowed fruits/day. I banned high fructose corn syrup about two years ago but need to go farther and it seems that it is only possible by avoiding any processed foods.…

Yes. I will tell you that I have 40% protein, 30% fat, and 30% carbs set as my goals right now. I am sure that is too much carb for most people on this board but I am only eating 2 fruits/day and no refined carb. I will adjust as I follow the diet guidelines and figure out what my actual distribution is. Today is a new…

Just curious what your macro split is? I wish I could find guidance about this in the book. He does not specify. It is low-glycemic carbs but not necessarily restriction of good carbs.

Yes, two a day then one a day for the next 2 weeks and then whenever to replace a meal. He has specific recommendations regarding the protein shakes: less than 200 calories, at least 20 grams of protein, and less than 20 grams of carbohydrates. He recommends putting ground flax seeds or ground chia seeds to increase the…

Thanks! All of of these were free with Kindle Unlimited.

Dr. Louis Aronne: The Change Your Biology Diet. I would put the amazon link here but I am not sure that is allowed - new to the board.

Thanks everyone! Yes, it is a modified Mediterranean diet with low refined carbs but it is nice to have some fruit. It is high protein, which is why I thought this message board might be helpful to me. The first week we are eating two high protein shakes/day and one meal with two snacks. It is somewhat like the induction…
