Am I refeeding the correct way???please help

[no1laticsfan]

Hi, I am currently on the TFR and into my 7th week but im stopping today, so I have 1 more shake to go!
I have been confused at the refeeding because I have been under the impression that the maintenance is the refeeding but when i'v phoned Lipotrim the lady told me it was different.
So im starting on the refeed tomorrow but im confused as to what I have for breakfast, dinner and tea! I believe I have a shake( the same as I have been having) for breakfast but then on the paperwork it states I have 2 for the first day!! when does the 2nd one come in because il be having a meal at tea time?please help guys.
cheers

Hey hun,
Do you have a copy of the refeed sheet? The first day is 2 shakes then after that it is one a day plus a meal.

The above link explains it all.
You can post your menus on here if that helps!
It also depends if your a guy or a girl?!

Also im a lad, so im used to having 2 shakes a day but if im having a meal when do i eat the 2nd one?

thanks

Hey hun, here is the refeed but a little simpler.

As you can see day 1 for men they still have 2 shakes and on day 2 you go down to 1 shake and 2 meals.

Hope this helps a little more. Just follow it to the letter and you can't go far wrong

Refeed Programme

DAY 1.

Have 2 Lipotrim servings and one meal, as follows (men continue to have 2 servings, as before, while women take 1 less serving of Lipotrim).

You may not have bread, grains (rice) or pasta until Day 4.
Fruit should wait until Day 4 at the earliest (later if you have carbohydrate problems).

You may have milk in tea/coffee.

At lunchtime or evening meal time you may have some skinless, boneless chicken breast or white fish fillet, or some skinless turkey (about 4-6ozs.) The fish or chicken may be steamed, microwaved, baked or cooked with a little water in a non-stick pan. Or you may have tuna fish in water or brine (drained). Vegetarians may use tofu or quorn.

You may also have either a moderate serving of salad (small breakfast bowl) from any of the following:
Lettuce
Cucumber
Cress
Watercress
Tomatoes
Mushrooms
Onions
Peppers
Bean sprouts
Celery dressed with a little lemon juice or wine vinegar
Or if you prefer, a moderate serving (2 heaped table spoons - no more)of some cooked vegetables.

DAY 2

You will have only 1 Lipotrim serving and 2 meals, as described for Day 1.

Day 3

Same as Day 2, but you may also have - at one meal only - an 8 ounce potato, plain boiled, mashed or baked, but with no addition of any fat. You may like to top with some skimmed milk, plain yogurt or very low fat fromage frais and a sprinkle of herbs.



Day 4-7

A Lipotrim serving for your breakfast plus:

Up to 3 serving of fruit (if you suffer from the insulin resistance problem, then eat these late in the day and do not snack on them during the day)

Up to 2 slices of bread or 1 pita or 1 roll or 1 bagel (without fatty spread)

Any vegetables you want except avocado, 1 or 2 servings with your meals (2 tablespoons per serving)

Any of the skimmed milk products.

Fish fillet (any size) or 6 ounces of chicken or turkey, as described before, or one tin of tuna in water or brine, drained. Vegetarians may use tofu, textured vegetable protein (TVP) or quorn.

Lean meat with all visible fat trimmed off

Low fat recipes prepared with low fat sauces - e.g. lean mince with low fat bolognese sauce

Medium baking potato or 6 small new potatoes or one serving of instant mashed potatoes (the kind with no added fat- read the label).

Instead of potato, you may have 4ozs of rice or pasta (cooked weight).

Sample menu for days 4 to 7.....


Sample 1

Breakfast: Lipotrim serving.

Lunch: Fish fillet (any type - cod, salmon etc), serving of potatoes ( 1 medium jacket or 6 new potatoes or a serving-spoon mash - no added fat) Yogurt ( low fat).

Diner: 4-6 ozs chicken (no skin), jacket potato, salad. Fruit (if appropriate) or low fat dessert.

Evening: Sandwich (no spread of any sort), consisting of: pickles, fat-free mayonnaise, salad/carrot, slice cold meat (low fat).

Snack 1 or 2 pieces of fruit (evening, if appropriate)




Sample 2

Breakfast: Lipotrim serving

Lunch: Sandwich (no spread) - any low fat filling, e.g. tuna. Bowl of salad. 2 pieces of fruit (if appropriate) or yoghurt.

Dinner: Spaghetti Bolognese, consisting of drained lean mince, low fat sauce, 4 ounces cooked spaghetti or rice, serving spoon of vegetables. Low fat dessert.

Snack or Evening: Tub of very low fat fromage frais, flavoured to suit with either slices of fruit or low fat jelly crystals for a sweet option or herbs and spices with added crunchy vegetable, for a savoury snack.

I go on holiday after the last day so il go to the maintenance then! does this seem ok or should i make any adjustments? thanks

 

[summergurl]

Ok, just a couple things hun;

1. Get away from adding salt to things! You don't need it, trust me I never add salt to anything now! Ever!!

Day 4 - your lunch doesnt seem like a lot. I'd be inclined to class fruit and a yog as a desert or snack. Maybe change that one.

Day 5 - get yer 2 portions of carbs in - even if its just 2 small pots with you dinner.

And snacks, only have them if you really need them

Hope that helps a bit, other than that all looks fine hun xxx

 

[no1laticsfan]

what would you suggest changing the luch on day 4 too? whilst fitting in the fruit and yoghurt?

Would i not find carbs in the pita? what would you suggest changing this too?

 

[no1laticsfan]

also iv been told to try glazed balsamic vinegar cos it tastes better! would this be allowed??

 

[summergurl]

Yeah, pitta's are fine sweet. Just make them wholemeal

How about on day 4 having your pitta for lunch with half the tin of tuna and then for dinner have the other half tin with a jacket pot.

Then have the fruit with lf yog as a snack inbetween meals.

 

[no1laticsfan]

thats sounds good to me, thanks alot, just 2 more thing can it be any flavour yoghurt or strictly plain? and whats your view on the glazed vinegar?

thanks very much for your help. il be back on shortly for help whe im goin abroad on the maintenance.lol

 

[summergurl]

Im not sure about the glazed balsamic - best off to email lipotrim about that one.

Any low fat yogs are fine to have

 

[no1laticsfan]

thanks very much
