Thanks! It's nice to know and hopefully todays DD will be easier. I too am a dietahloic, all my life it feels. Good luck to you with it as well!

I have been alternating for 2 weeks either side of my holiday i just came back from, so hope it works! I find these few things help me - delay breakfast/lunch if i can. I usually have a large UD meal to help with that. - I make big pots of vegetable soups and freeze them (100 cal each) - I have half a protein shake choc…

Beer combined with pizza. I can have 5 of each for dinner and thats my whole days worth of calories! Chocolate and fresh bread come in a close second followed by pasta and lasagna, mmm ...

I plan on having DD on TUES-THURS-SUN and UD on MON-WED-FRI with a MD of about 1000 on Saturdays (or Friday I can swap). That gives me a daily average of about 1200 cal If I go 500/2000. I will be back to start this soon, I am going on holidays tomorrow which will make it near impossible to have DD, but I will try and cut…

My tip is to try and hold off until midday at least, that helps me not go over. Also lots of fluids and fight the pangs! They come and go all day. I saved 300 cal for dinner the other day and that helped me sleep.... I am having a protein shake for lunch (110 cal)afternoon snack of half an apple (35 cal) and dinner of…

its my 3rd DD tomorrow so will weigh myself Thursday morning, then I go on holidays which is good but bad. Its going to be near impossible to fast while away but will get back on track as soon as the plane lands:) all i can say is, damn I love those up days! I hope my DD tomorrow is easier, the 2nd one was easier than the…

Still.... cute as... most people just bump!

I did ok yesterday on my 2nd DD. I did have a huge breakfast this morn (500 cal) so am nice and full right now. Still had trouble sleeping :( I just wake up at 4am and cant get back to sleep. I am going on holidays in 2 days so will have my last down day tomorrow.... Kind of sucks I found this WOE just before going away.…

That is so cute!

Dogs walk, cats jump.... Tony Danza is a classic. I have a Jackie Chan....

Hi! I am on DD no 2. No. 1 was HARD! I woke up starving and could not get to sleep! Any tips for me tonight? I am trying to save 300 cal for dinner so I can have maybe half a protein shake and a small meal but I need something to get me through the night. I so loved my UD yesterday. Its the first time in so long that I…

I HATE BUTTER!

hahahaha!

LOL! It helps if you rinse beans well before you prepare them, thats why i stopped eating baked beans, cant rinse them. Whey yes, at first I agree.... alcohol and bad food, bad gas. Oh and bread, ew.... I gave it up 5 months ago and now whenever I eat it, i bloat up and feel very uncomfortable!

Coconut oil retains its nutrients at high heat, unlike other oils, so yes it is a better option to cook with and yes we DO need fat. I deprived myself on low fat for years and just created a sugar addiction. Low fat products are full or sugar! Natural fat is good for you. I have been using it (coconut oil) to cook my…

yep, no problem getting to 1200 here, and I eat clean. Have a handful of cashews and your there. or 2 big bananas, guacamole, what ever, easy-peasy. I will never understand this topic :( I get that when you workout you burn calories, but geez...

ok i SERIOUSLY have this problem and in the last 5 days have found something that works. I have 100ml of organic lite milk and half a scoop of double chocolate protein shake (i like isowhey complete, its yummy). At 100 cal it kicks my sugar craving and the milk is satisfying for the stomach plus its loaded with vitamons…

I am doing isowhey shakes breakfast and lunch for the next 10 days before my holiday (have already done 4 days). Its great for your digestive system and I swear it shrinks my stomach because i just cant eat as much in my night time meal which is an issue. Need to wear my bikini!

sugar!!! I eat it like the cookie monster! If i stay away from it, i only have issues with alcohol and eating after alcohol (but that can be controlled, i would never eat pizza, maccas, KFC sober) Sugar, I have no control, lol.

it takes a bit of kneading and doesn't rise like 'normal' bread, but oh man, with some peanut butter and honey on top, I am in my own little heaven! Oh, its way more filling too. Even my fiance' likes it and he eats only white all the time. It has a beatiful crust and is divine toasted. I freeze it in slices so when I feel…

are you eating alot of carbs? They make me hungry not long after. I am doing breakfast/lunch shakes at the moment and I make sure dinner is high protein, med fat and as low a carbs as possible. If your hunger is 'crazy', try slicing up some chicken breasts, grill them and have them on hand to snack on. I find that keeps…

oh it is... yummm..... so excited for it tonight! And btw, once you cook the beans and, cook extra spuds, chop up all the veg you have like 4-5 meals there! and you mix and match vegies so you dont get sick of it.

wow awesome job, and great curves girlfriend!

OH I DID THAT! Bought an all natural powder and almost vomited! So... when I bake (I eat mostly clean so i bake whole wheat bread, muffins ect) I substitute a 1/4 cup of flour for the powder. Also, I made these chia cookies last night (chia seeds, protein powder, egg white, cocoa powder, cinnamon and honey mixed up and…

boredom, I'm too efficient at work, and up myself clearly, lol, but seriously I eat at work when bored. I hate it :(

ok, this is my fav healthy meal. I make a bean sauce. 2 x cans diced tomatoes 1 x can 4 bean mix clove of garlic half an onion chilli, if you like 1/5 of the sauce is 110 cal, 16g carb, 4g fibre, 4g fat, 6g protein sautee the onion and garlic in olive oil then add the tomatoes and stir. then add the beans and let simmer…

ha ha..... yep water. just have vegie sticks and dip. It does have some cal, but plenty of fibre and vitamins........

I am currently eating low carb, about 50g net a day (BTW, net is carb grams minus fibre grams, fibre has no effect) and I aim for 25 g fibre a day (so i eat about 75g carbs). An easy way to start is maybe having eggs for breakfast, chicken and greens for lunch, chicken/fish and greens for dinner and snacks of nuts (small…

carrot or capsicum strips dipped in either hummos or guacomole. Make them yourself (clean food is digested easier and both contain great fats that fill you for longer), and have the vegies chopped up and on hand when you get peckish. Water is not food, and yes, it is good to check if you are actually thirsty, because…
