Default Re: posting my fitday menu

I'll reply in this thread. For everyone, this is the link to her FitDay menu:

I understand you are still in Induction.

Some days you seem to be a little low on veggies, although it's hard to tell since you use both volume and weight measurements. You should have three cups per day, with max. 1 cup of these coming from the "Other Vegetables" list.

Most of your net carbs should come from vegetables and this is not always the case in your menus.

Almonds, peanut butter and any other nuts & seeds are only allowed in OWL Rung 3.

Jell-O is made with aspartame which is a known staller for many folks. Atkins products (bars, shakes) are famous stallers too.

Did you check the ham, sausages and other processed meats for hidden sugars? Read the list of ingredients.

Your fat seems a little high (it should be ~65% during Induction), but for most people that's not really an issue.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
