You are all very welcome! Also, the seasoning called for Uncle bens wild rice packet...but I didnt have it so thats how I came up with the seasoning mix. I just went on google and found a copy cat recipe for it. :)

BE AWARE YOU ARE WRONG ! This serves 28 people, calculate again!

BE AWARE YOU ARE WRONG ! This serves 28 people, calculate again! Thank you all, let me know how you like it! I appreciate all the support, thats what MFP is all about! :)

Wow, ate this all last week!

I could tweak it a litte, but these sound good!

I'm with you on this! Dried fruit it typically high glycemic too but maybe figs are alright. I was thinking more pastry though you are right. Fig newtons have white flour I think though...or "unbleached wheat flour" which is just as bad as white!

I think cool whip has added sweetners like malodextrin...but making my own would be a good idea, thanks!

Banana's are high glycemic but thats a good idea...i was thinking like cookies and stuff.

I started the fit test today and OH MANNNN, sweat everywhere!!! I burned about 453 cals doing about 40 minutes.

Yes, sorry....1.5 TSP of baking soda!!

Oops, sorry added that info! haha 350 for 20 min...i used the mini muffin pan but you could use the regular one too :) I brought them to work and everyone LOVED them! Even the donut eaters haha

Yea its crazy some of the things I never knew were high like pineapple, cantelope....I'd eat that all the time thinking it was super good for me LOL

You're not alone! I was just finally diagonsed with PCOS. After many years of doctors just telling me to "east less calories" or eat less carbs...I finally have an answer! I saw an endocrinologyst and she did blood work to determine that is what I had. Low Glycemic Index is the way to go IMO. Many books and sites recommend…

. I agree. As soon as I started eating a low glycemic diet, I lost 35-40 lbs in a matter of months. It was insane what that kind of diet can do for you. And I have spent YEARS of not being able to lose. I have a TON of recipes if anyone wants some ideas. Also a few sites I use a lot. Hope this helps!

Ok, that makes me feel better. I really hope the endo tells me its insulin resistance...not diabetes. It doesnt run in my family so I was a bit suprised about the glucose level. And glad you had such success on metformin. She suggested I go see the endo first to get a panel on my pancreas and such.

I have other symptoms of PCOS too. Not just the cysts. I need to get this glucose level under control though so hoping after I see the endocrynologyst I can get on metformin.

Well my AC1 or whatever that is was 5.8 which is high from what she said. They did an ultrasound today and verified i did have PCOS from all the cysts and folicles. I also was having a little numbness and tingling on my right foot...3 baby toes....but wasnt sure if it was from the glucose elevation or that I work out 2…

No **** LOL

Whatever, then eat them.

You do not want to eat the calories burned from working out.

Just amazing. You really value the one body you have. Unfortunately some people have to experience a life changing event to lose sometimes. So proud of you!

Aw thanks I think its growing on me too :)

You are hilarious!!! Thank you!!

Thank you! Yes, I do feel like the low GI thing has helped the bloating a ton !

LMAO! Yes, I think these "girls" are here to stay. LOL

Thanks :) Actually for the last 11 weeks I have been following a low Glycemic Index diet. That has proven the biggest results for me.

Congrats to you too...41! That is not easy. And thanks...little by little I'm hoping it will be thinner :)

Thanks! Wow, look at your loss...that is just incredible!

Awe thanks!! Its def not easy...especially with the PCOS LOL!

I have been for the last 10 weeks and have seen BIG time results. Losing over 2 lbs a week. And I feel great!
