HappyGrace Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Do you follow BB recommendations? What is a typical day like for you? I eat clean anyway but since BB I've started to make sure I have some protein with every meal, and I'm trying to transform over into eating the 5 times a day. I don't follow their recommendations but try to aim for more like a nutrient dense whole foods (no processed) Zone type diet (basically 5x/day with 40 % carbs, 30% protein, 30% good fats). I haven't been strict with it, mostly eyeballing amounts, but plan to be stricter the next five wks with a big wedding coming up to go to! Would love to hear what y'all are doing!

mothergooseof4 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I am hypoglycemic so I really need to eat frequently and restrict carbs. So, I try to eat lots of protein, low carb, clean with lots of fruits and veggies. I don't really measure or anything. I am currently starting my second round of Chalean Extreme and love it!

redsquirrel Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Well, I don't consider myself 'in training' I just try to exercise for 45-60 mins a day 6 days a week. I get in a mix of cardio and weight lifting days with the occasional yoga or pilates to break it up. To me, that is health, not training. I eat pretty much the same most days: Breakfast: Sometimes skip (oops) or 3 egg whites and salsa Lunch: 4-6 oz broccoli steamed in the micro 1/2 cup beans or 1/2 can tuna 1 tbsp salad dressing Dinner: a mix of purple cabbage red onions red pepper broccoli collard greens broccoli sweet potato etc..whatever looks good all steamed with some more beans or some tofu or some broiled fish. Snacks are: cheese stick banana apple handful of corn chips and some salsa cocoa almond 100 calorie pack air popped corn slice of warm homemade bread (come on! I am only human and cannot resist) I don't eat all of these every day, lol. Mostly it is one or two from that list. I drink water and lots of coffee and tea. And the very occasional cocktail, as served by my husband, in a fancy glass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyGrace Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 It's fun to see what everyone is doing as far as eating. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Unfortunately, I am on a different diet entirely as I am doing it through a nutritionist to try to get my body out of whack. Here is what I can have: Coconut milk (a brand called SO delicious) in the milk section of the store 15 grams of sugar/fructose fruits per day All veggies but carb based and tomatoes Flax oil and seeds Hummus Avacado Lean meats- fish, turkey, chicken quinoa most beans raw nuts (no peanuts) brown rice On my DO NOT EAT list: wheat (all kinds) sugar Oats (too much cross contamination with wheat) corn, peas red meat caffeine (this one is killing me!) dairy eggs It is very limiting but this is just for the first 3 weeks. I will see what I can add after that. Is anyone following Tusca Reno's Eat Clean diet? I really think that is a great way to eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brasilmom Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I am a vegetarian, so adding protein is sometimes a bit tricky. However, I do eggs, so I will have that in the morning, every two days or so. Breakfast normally are something in the lines (but not all of it in one day) eggs (2) with homemade bread cooked oatmeal with flax meal granola with almond milk , flax meal and sunflower seeds coffee. No matter what I am eating! Lunch whatever is left over from dinner or maybe a roll up with avocado, salad, olives (love them), tomatoes or whatever else there is snacks: cheese fruits sometimes carrots cottage cheese yogurt dinner whatever stricks my fancy, last night we had homemade polenta with cheese. I also made bracchiola for my dh and dd. Salad sometimes we do sweet potatoes and edamame for a light dinner tuna or some other fish (I do fish once in a while) Hope this helps Miriam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
