    in In Place of a Road Map: Short N' Sweet Comment by Jennifer23 September 2014
  • Try these 2 sites: http://yourlighterside.com/ http://genaw.com/lowcarb/ Jamie and Linda have some amazing recipes on there! Have you given cauliflower a try? You can usually incorporate it into anything (pizza, tuna casserole, etc) and won't taste it. I've used cauliflower to make pizzas, tuna casserole, mock mashed…

  • I can't do the biscuit cans either. If I don't have one of my 3 kids there to open 'em for me, I get my husband. If he's not around, I will wrap them up in a towel and slowly open them -- or just say "To hell with it! I didn't need 'em anyway!!", LOL. I don't like being around people who blow up balloons for fear of them…

  • Ever sit on your hands? LOL I know it sounds funny -- but I would recommend sitting on your hands when you're more likely to start chewing on your nails. Watching TV, hanging out with friends/family -- whatever it is. Just tuck 'em away. ;-)

  • Trish -- according to the book, shellfish (clams, crab, mussels, oysters, scallops, shrimp) can be introduced in Phase 2. :-)

  • Amen! We would all like to hear the good AND the bad. That allows a person to make up their own mind. Something that I didn't get from the book -- and only through the FB webpage -- was we can use protein powder. Protein powder has been my best friend 'cause I can add it to smoothies and my greek yogurt (think greek…

  • Oh -- and here's a wonderful website with scrumptious recipes for any cycle. Might have to copy and paste: http://17ddgal.blogspot.com/search/label/C1

  • LOL! Completely understand. There are a lot of people who use both the kefir and the whey, depending on what they're using it in -- just whatever works for you. Personally, I've never come across kefir in our store, so I've never used it. I will be going to our local drug/health food store sometime today, though, and will…

  • 600 calories/day? You don't want to go below 1200 calories. It's easy to, though, because you feel full -- even at 600 calories. Even though you don't have to "count calories", I recommend you do it for the first week to make sure you're getting a *minimum* of 1200 calories per day -- others require more. Whenever I…

  • In addition to what 'theartichoke' described, you can have unsweetened almond milk. If you have a Facebook account, there's a lot of support on the 17DayDiet page -- plus, a link to TONS of recipes for all cycles. Everybody has to do what works for them, but I recommend that you complete ALL cycles, including the first…

  • You shouldn't ever be hungry on this diet! I'll admit that the first 3-4 days were rough -- but that's mostly from your body detoxing and your mind trying to get the best of you. If you can break through that barrier, you'll be good to go! I'm on C1D6 and am down 6.3 lbs. Feeling great ~ tons of energy! Now that I've got…

  • I'm on C1D6. A few things I've learned in the last week is monitor your calories for a few days to make sure you're getting a minimum of 1200. I felt stuffed -- but didn't realize 'til Day 3 that I was barely getting in 700 calories (if that!). No wonder the scale wasn't budging. I managed to up my calorie deficit by 300…
