OP Are you doing the mail order food plan that is just called South Beach? Or are you following the recommendations from the books by Dr. Arthur Agagtson?

Day 15. P2! (really 1.5). br: kellogg's quiche cup (my "grain") sn: babybel lu: warmed protein bar and muscle milk light (still on soft foods!) sn: baby bel di: I'm hoping for a soup de: pudding

Insomnia and intermittent crankiness. :-)

You have such great menus.

Day 14! Today's activity: 30 min on treadmill, Late afternoon Strength training class still on soft foods br: egg, arugula, turkey bacon sn: babybel lu: ground beef, feta, spinach, avocado sn: babybel di: something soft

What is/are your goal(s)?

I'm on day 13. The scale is cooperating. My body is ridding itself of the "meno-pounds". Happy Sabine!

As I'm trying to find soft things to eat... I tried a "mug cake" with SF syrup instead of honey. Tasty. Felt like dessert. I had it for post surgery lunch. https://ditchthewheat.com/1-minute-flourless-chocolate-cupcake-lc-gf/?fbclid=IwAR2_G7mE0UqEu2pdRBpgwzaws_n6FKXIm5AYoh_gIC27814XHFqf6j20Qng

Boy, that's not a funny joke at all. Are you using any supplements? HRT? Anything?

I did, during menopause. I'm guessing you're not menopausal? Please see a doc soon.

Day 13P1 reboot. Amazingly, this one is going better than ANY including the original. I'm 7Lbs down (I think I lost 4 the first time). I'm not back to my pre-menopause weight, but am well on my way. Today: walk on the treadmill, and a yoga class still on soft foods br: warmed quest bar sn: babybel lu: yogurt with peanut…

I don't. Sorry!

I've tried a couple. The jam was tolerable. Otherwise, no.

I'm doing great. Sore, and on soft foods, but otherwise great. Thanks!

Day 11 in the books. What I find is: When walking between work and home I'll see a happy hour haunt and have a quick hankering (for wine? for socializing?). When I get home, instead of a glass of wine I'll pour a big glass of fresca. I discovered quickly that I am often *thirsty* which surprises me because I drink water…

Day 12 P1 reboot: exercise: walk on the treadmill for an hour. Post surgery eating: br: egg cups sn: muscle milke lite lu: soup of some kind sn: yogurt di: something soft lol

Yay for 3 more pounds!!

Topical estrogen and oral progesterone was what I used. Now I'm using topical progesterone and topical estriol. And so far (two months in) the symptoms haven't come back.... hope that means I'm past the worst of it. Glad it's working for you.

Good morning! Day 11. The scale has ticked down about 6Lbs. Of that is, of course, water weight which will come whooshing back when I start phase 2. But I'll take 3 Lbs in two weeks. Today is another goofy day. Exercise: none. Br: NONE snack: none lunch: none snack: cauliflower soup dinner: scrambled eggs (I'm having…

Awesome. Thanks!

Chugging along! Day 10. Scale has definitely gone down a bit. Exercise today: power yoga class tonight. Otherwise in a retreat all day. br: egg cups again sn: raw veg and humus lu: some kind of fancy salad (in the retreat) sn: raw veg and humus di: hubs' cauliflower and cashew soup de: my silly yogurt dessert

Tortilla chips. Especially nachos.

I'd suggest asking your question on one of the PCOS groups. Here's one of them: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/3070-p-c-o-sis

FABULOUS! Looks similar to my little egg cups that I make in a muffin tin.

Day 9. the downward scale trend continues! Today is a crazy busy day and I won't be near a microwave or a fridge Today's plan: Steps where I can, and a noon yoga class. br: had the two egg cups again sn: babybel lu: quest bar and muscle milk light (because no fridge or microwave, or fork/knife) sn: cashews di: leftover…

Day 8! today's activity: walk 30 min to work, walk home. Noon power yoga class. br: two egg cups with spinach sn: peppers and humus lu: shirataki noodles with chicken and pesto sn: babybel di: chicken with some sort of veg de: jello/yogurt concoction (just highlighting my plant foods for myself)

Don't I know it. Sorry you can't sleep.

You may be able to get it from a chinese massage place. I've gotten chinese medicine from a chinese massage place in Dublin.

Great! I read it. Twice. It's similar to South Beach (which is give or take how I eat) except that it has slightly stricter meal guidelines. Nice to meet you!

Why?
