Isn't anyone else calorie counting? - Page 2 - MiniMins.com

EveryRose · 2nd June, 2008

Hey Abz, I am intrigued to find out how you do on the JUDDD! Good luck!

abz · 2nd June, 2008

Thanks

i'm ravenous. how do people stick to vlcd? and cd where you don't eat it seems!! i will survive today, but only because i know i can eat tomorrow, ha. but will have to be careful not to go mental!!

to be honest if i stick to this 500cals every other day thing i don't see how this can fail. this week is the ultimate test as i'm going up to scotland to see my mum for the weekend for her birthday so am sure there will be several meals out and lots of yumminess and drinking. so i do really need to be careful on my up dates leading up to the weekend and really strict on my down days!!

I'm here also, hello
good luck abz. food focus this is a brill site & the best thing its freeeeeeeee, it may just be out a little bit, but not much only by miner calories here & there.

valzar · 17th June, 2008

so abz, Have I got this right, you eat 500 calories one day, then eat as much as you like the next, then back to 500 & so on, how did you hear about this? I'm just nosy

abz · 17th June, 2008

hi lacie. i don't do that any more, but yes, that's the juddd way. and it does work too if slow weight loss is your thing. but it isn't mine. so i'm on cd now. am on day seven

hello

thought I'd pop in and add another to your number!

Redlilocks · 6th July, 2008

Oh me too! I'm calorie counting as well - nice to know there are a few of us on here

I've been doing this for about 2 weeks, sticking to around 1000-1200 calories a day. So far, so good (I'm down 8lbs) although I have had a couple of 'off' days, I have upped my exercise on the other days to make up for the overage! Using Food Focus as well to keep me on track.

So far I have been using food focus, though I have found that a lot of the foods I eat aren't in their database (I'm cheap, I buy no-name brand stuff all the time), so I am adding most manually. However, it has a nice little area I can save in, so it's worth it and if my PC crashes I don't have to worry about microsoft excel sheets going with it!

Day #3 just started, so far so good. Upper 1600 calorie range, not including exercise, though apart from walking my dog I don't do much exercise. It's not terrible, but I have had to modify a few of my recipes - I had no idea I was cooking meals that were 1900 calories per person!

Replacing oil with nonstick spray, butter with a lower fat butter spray, sugar with sweetener etc. My husband will be happy, he is looking a little saggy around the waist since I started going all out cooking and now I know why!

What were you eating?!

And what are you eating now?

MzMonday · 3rd September, 2008

Guinness beer beef & bacon stew, which I was serving with a very fatty gravy over mashed potatoes (though my hubby preferred french fries, which is even worse because he got the kind from McDonald's rather than baking himself...) with sauteed mushrooms. The fat left over from cooking was just combined in the original version of the death meal. When I make it again I will be using turkey bacon and patting it dry before mixing it in, ditching the gravy (the stew can be used for that), baking my husband's fries myself (loads better) and going with steamed mushrooms. No more fat being mixed in!

As for what I am eating now, adding veggies, fruit and cutting out sweets unless in moderation. Food Focus is working well, day 4
