Ideal Protein - Day 4

Breakfast at 8:00 - 4 oz coffee with 1/2 Vanilla EAS Shake

Lunch @ 12:00 - Huge bunch of lettuce with 2 Cups of Veggies topped with Walden Farms Creamy Italian dressing.

Snack @ 3:00 - 1/2 of a Atkins Meal Replacement Bar - YUMMY!

So far I notice that I am just not hungry today. and I tried to drink half a diet soda and couldn't finish half of it.

Dinner Time @7:00 pm - I am starving, I ate a small salad, asparagus and WAY more steak than I should have.  Then I finished the other half of my Meal Replacement Bar.......and now I am stuffed.

I have 1 and 1/2 shakes left for the day but no way am I going to fit them in.

Ideal Protein - Day 3

This morning I woke up and had a GREAT outlook, I know I am starting the changes of how my body reacts with less carbs. I feel less tired, I am happier. Best of all I don't feel deprived. Hungry in the evenings, yes, but not deprived.

AND its Mothers Day!


Mothers Day Brunch @ 10:00 - Ham and Egg Cups (3)

Lunch @1:00 - EAS Strawberry Shake and 2 Cups of Bell Peppers, I also ate a Atkins meal replacement at this time due to being incredibly stressed........

Dinner @7:00 - Steak and cheese and a tiny bit of Quino salad...which was deliciousness but not approved.

Snack @ 10:00 - Totally NOT ok on plan, but I ate 5 cinnamon gummies! They were so yummy. But yeah better stay away from those........

Ideal Protein - Day 2

Ok I believe in being completely honest in my online journal and I am pretty sure I will want to remember this, lol, how could I forget. First thing this morning I had the WORST stomach ache. It was horrible and I was on the potty for about two hours straight.

Was this coincidence? Was it TOM? Was it the Ideal Protein Food? I will be a little scared it is the food until I find out differently! So with that out of the way. Here is another confession, I hopped on the scale. I know I said I was going to only weigh once a day but dang it, it is very hard to not weigh daily when dieting. And the scale said I weighed 1.5 pounds less than yesterday. BIG SMILEY FACE! Of course after all my tummy trouble the scale said I weighed 5.5 pounds less than yesterday! But that doesn't count of course!

Breakfast @ 8:30 am - Chocolate Fudge EAS Shake with 4 oz. Coffee. Pretty delish, tastes exactly like a low fat mocha.

Snack @ 11:00 am - Sliced pickles, I am low on groceries and needed something snacky! They did the trick! and 2 cups of water. I also had 1/3 of a Atkins cookie dough bar. Since this is my favorite part of my food day I decided to split it up.

Getting enough water will always be my nemesis.

Lunch @ 1:30 - Chuck of lettuce (which is unlimited) 4 oz of shrimp, 1/4 cup of onions, 1/2 of a Vanilla EAS shake

For the record I think calling these drinks a "shake" is very misleading! LOL :)

Snack @ 2:00 pm and 2:30 - the other parts of my Atkins bar.

Snack @ 6:00 pm - 1 piece of broccoli ripped off the bunch from the back seat of my car because I WAS starving!!!

Dinner @ 7:00 pm - Dinner at Burger King - a Whopper without the bun, the cheese or any sauces - it tasted good but was not filling, so I hate a bunch of mini bell peppers, and then a Strawberry Cream EAS shake

Snack @10:00 pm - Still starving - not liking this at all, I ended up eating 6 slices of Fat Free Carb Free Ham lunch meat, and half a cucumber, and then I ate another half of an Atkins bar.

Honestly I am still hungry and still thinking of the other half of that bar. Not sure why all the hunger today it isn't very pleasant at all. No worse than other diets I have been on though.


Ideal Protein Day 1

Weighed in today at 225.....officially the most I have ever weighed. Doesn't really bother me though...I fully expect the number to be dropping quickly. I am not weighing daily with this diet...I am weighing once a week.
Todays Eats:
Breakfast @ 7:30 am- a EAS carb control vanilla shake mixed with 6 oz coffee and frothed in my espresso machine. Very yummy, though not as rich as I was expecting...it did keep me full till lunch though.

Lunch @ 12:30 pm - I was in Lewiston so lunch at Burger King it was. I had a grilled ceasar salad with citrus vinaigrette. The salad had a tiny amount of cheese so that and the dressing were a little out of protocol but I'm not sweating it at this point. I also had a Atkins cookie and cream bar. Yummy! Loved that...and I am stuffed.

Dinner @ 7:00 pm - On protocol you eat 5-8 ounces of protein and 2 cups of veggies plus lettuce salad. Since my lunch had chicken on it. I need to deduct that from my dinner protein. I am going to go for the high number of protein and still have a good sized piece of chicken plus 2 cups steamed broccoli and lettuce. Sadly I didn't get the approved dressing so I am sort of stumped on what to have with my lettuce. So I ended up eating my lettuce plain with nothing on it and it was really good. I know it sounds strange but honestly it really was good.

Snack @ 9:00 pm - I had a chocolate EAS shake mixed with ice except it didn't mix very well and it was more like chocolate milk.

Over all I feel pretty successful for having my first day done!
