[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me, weighing myself first thing every morning after I wake up and before I drink or eat anything helps me stay accountable to myself for the day.  If I am down some weight it also puts a little spring in my step and gets the day started on a nice note! My meetings with my coach are always on Mondays.  Again, this is a good thing for me bc it helps me stay on track over the weekend since I want the weigh-in experience to be positive.  My coach has advised that while lean beef and pork are permitted as protein options, chicken and light fish are going to get me results faster.  My goal is to get off Phase 1 as quickly as possible so I can free up the $$ I am spending on the food to maybe buy some new clothes!! [/quote]

Sarah here.  Thanks for the tip about chicken & fish.. i know it makes sense but I was totally going for beef a lot!  I'm going to Trader joe's soon... excited to get the everything bagel seasoning, jicama sticks, garlic infused olive oil, ready cooked chicken for salads, possibly the hard boiiled eggs (i'm lazy for meal prepping sometimes), zoodles, etc.... if anyone else has good ideas for meals, let me know!

Get some cabbage so you can make eggroll in a bowl (I'm sorry, I just cannot call it crack slaw). You can also get ground turkey, ground chicken and ground pork if you really like ground beef! Tonight for dinner I'm having homemade pork sausage, fried eggs and "home fries" using a turnip. I came across a brilliant tip a couple of years ago that if you cook your turnip in the microwave first, it has more of a baked potato consistency. That is 100% true, and once you let it cool a little, chop it up, add onions and pepper and fry it, it has even more of a potato consistency. Of course we can have onions on the plan, but I made some the other day with green onions and peppers, fried in a teaspoon of oil and it was such a treat. I put sugar free ketchup on it and I won't say it tasted exactly like potatoes, but I found it to be pretty comforting.

I'm not sure about the bagel seasoning. I actually have some and used it when I made California Roll in bowl, but they were saying on the Facebook group that seasame seeds weren't allowed. I will have to check with my coach to know for sure.

Trader Joes has frozen mashed cauliflower in the freezer section that doesn't have any added ingredients, so look into that as well. I like to add broccoli or cauliflower to the puree and soup packets. [/quote]
