My refeed/maintanance

[Bindi]

Oxally,
Thought there was no calories in carrots and broccli (0pt ww foods)

 

[oxoxallyoxox]

Yep im afraid there is hun - there is no saturated fat in them though hence why they have no ww points.

Carrots have natural sugars in them so thats were the calories come from in them

Brocolli well that only has something like 3 cals per stem so its nearly not worth counting but I do anyways

 

[Bindi]

Aha I see, this gets all so very confusing.
Where are you getting the calorie breakdown of everything.

Ally
Have your periods returned. Mine havnt ..... just wondering

 

[oxoxallyoxox]

No hun still no sign.... got a few very very mild cramps - but nothing.

Im not worried because i dont feel pregnant. Im guessing its because its such a huge shock to the system - eating again.

 

[oxoxallyoxox]

Bindi - I get it from different resources - in work I use different online calculations but I also have a little pocket book at home that gives an entire nutritional breakdown of more than 1500 foods. It does the gi/gl count too

Its called gi/gl counter and its published by hamiltyn.

Hey Ally,

Isn't popcorn bad on a GI/GL diet? I think both of my books said it was.
I've been giving my bf nuts, not the roasted salted ones, "fresh"? ones, and only a little dish of them. It's not that much worse in calories, and keeps him full.

Guen

 

[oxoxallyoxox]

Nope Popcorn is bad GI but in real portions (20 - 30g) popcorn is low GL. Once your not having the tubs in the pictures that are done in oil and steer clear of the microwave 'butter' once. Just air popped and salted YUM.

 

[Gunna-make-it]

I am a little confused... with refeed are we still to use the original shakes and then with main you go with main products or is there no difference?

 

[Guenevere]

Ok fair enough! I'll tell my Bf, which brand do you buy? I know Manhattan is about 135 cal, do you know any that are lower?

Guen

 

[oxoxallyoxox]

Manhattan cheesy is 132....

There is also a brand in Dunnes and they sell 20g bags so they are lower again but the bags are tiny - you kinda feel like you are being robbed a little...
