Dr. Fuhrman says that if you are overweight and eating Nutritarian 100%, you should be losing at least two pounds per week - so you are doing fantastic! That is about the rate that I lost my weight, and it wasn't totally linear and didn't always make sense. I had some weeks when I didn't lose at all and some weeks when I would drop 4 pounds, despite eating the same things. I haven't heard him say that you should expect to lose 20 pounds a month - I've only heard him say that some people who stay at his retreat will drop a pound a day while they are there, and I think those are people who have a very large amount of weight to lose. Keep up the great work! Thank you! I feel better knowing that it is not linear and not everyone loses that fast! Friday: Breakfast: carrot/celery juice; smoothie with banana, strawberries, almond milk. Lunch: I completely fell off the wagon for lunch. We came back from errands with only 30 minutes for me to get ready for work. I had veggies with hummus and was still hungry, so with no time to make something for myself, I ate about 4 oz of the steak and an egg that I was making for the rest of the family. Dinner: Back on track. A huge salad. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eos Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I'm starting from yesterday as my travel days were a blur and involved entirely too much coffee. Yesterday I only ate roasted chicken and kale, all three meals. Today I've had chicken and kale and cilantro plus rolled lettuce and turkey. Tonight I'll make a salad. It's so much easier to eat in the way that I want when I'm not cooking for my family, sigh. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith-manor Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Failing miserably with the kiddoes, and self. We all got the upper respiratory crud the kids have, and now Dd and dsil cannot be with baby at the hospital. The collective mood is awful, and the sinus drainage makes everything taste nasty. About the only two things I have made that went down well was tacos (thankfully they eat black beans and love them because protein is especially hard to get into the boys right now) and spaghetti. We may be eating a lot of that for the next few days. They are eating some fruit. I have exactly ZERO appetite. I keep reading here to remind myself to get back on track when I am able to get a break from the intensive care giving. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet Vane Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Tuesday So much tea today. Absolutely craved it and ending up drinking three big mugs through the afternoon. Two with sugar, one without. Breakfast--small portion of rice and a small pear before class. Probably what sparked protein cravings later. Mid-day--Eggs and potatoes sauteed in olive oil. Snack--tuna with cucumber Dinner--meatloaf and potatoes, green beans 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eos Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 B: some yogurt and granola running out the door for an hour drive to the dentist L: don't remember Snack: pistachios S: chicken, bok choi, peanut stir fry I am seeing a trend that I'm going to work with: I sleep terribly when I eat a big supper, not just dessert as I previously thought. I am re-upping my goal of eating salads for supper, if only for February. Much coffee, turmeric tea, espresso, water. Did better with hydration, but I need to do something for about a week for it to become a habit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith-manor Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) We might be seeing an improvement today. Breakfast: I made buckwheat pancakes and topped them with berries and bananas. The children actually ate. Lunch: I just gave them some sliced extra sharp cheddar cheese, strawberries, blueberries, and baby carrots. Both little ones are sampling everything on their plates. They are very worn down, and I made a big pile of pillows and blankets for them in the living room, and have let them eat there. I would say that close to half their plates have been consumed. They both asked for a graham cracker, so I said they could have more than one after they eat what is on their plates. Neither one is protesting. I think their taste buds are returning. The sinus drainage with this is wicked. Dinner: I am making spaghetti with some shredded spinach and some ground beef (Dd seriously needs to eat iron right now), roast brussel sprouts (which I am going to drizzle maple syrup butter in the hopes of tempting the boys because otherwise I think they would be too bland), and some steamed broccoli. Normally, the 3 year old will down broccoli like a ground hog in my garden. But, I have to wonder if it will still taste off. I am not going to push it because I do not want him to form a hard memory of his favorite veggie tasting nasty. Meanwhile, I subsist on V-8 juice. It is the only thing I can taste and tastes good. I did make myself a few refried beans to eat last night and put taco sauce on it. I am a legume devouring monster, and it was all I could do to make myself eat it. It just tasted like paste, like eating Elmer's glue or something. Edited February 1, 2023 by Faith-manor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
