DAY 2...22/08/08...well today i had...

BREAKFAST...choc whip ''tried summer fruits and orange cream but didn't like them ewwww''

LUNCH...6oz tuna in brine,cucumber,pepper,onion,lettuce,tomato,celery,bit of balsamic, yummy '20 minutes to eat'

DINNER...6oz turkey,mushrooms,onion,pepper,tomato,garlic,pepper all roasted in balsamic vinegar 'can u tell i enjoyed it last night' hehehehe '33 minutes to eat'

had two cups of tea with skimmed milk,black coffee,cup of green tea,1.5 litre sparkling water and 2 litres still water

also had sugar free chewing gum again,yum! so many new flavours out there since i stopped eating...

after lunch today 'about three hours after' i had an awful indegestion feeling,took paracetamol and it eased off after about half an hour or so...

if you're wondering why i am timing how long it takes me to eat it is really just for me to keep an eye on it, i used to eat way 2 fast and have been making this meal even though quarter the size of a meal i wouldve eaten before 'if that' last as long as i could...

behind my ears are sore from chewing lol

Hey Nicki,
I'm glad Refeed is going well for you.

How many weeks are you planning to follow the refeed programme for?

I planned on 2 and the pharmacist recommended 3 (and I agreed, not least because it will mean 1 week less TFR). But here the confusion starts. In my mind, if I was doing 3 weeks of TFR, I would do Day 1 for 3 days, followed by Day 2 for 3 days etc, I don't think I could cope with Day 1-7 followed by another Day 1-7, it just doesn't make any sense!!!! Or does 3 weeks of Refeed mean Day 1-3 followed by 18 days of day 4-7? I wouldn't really be willing to do that either cos I want to follow a Low GI diet, not a Low fat one, plus there is WAY to much food on Days 4-7 to eat for 18 days! I did sample menus, and I'd have Maintenance bar, chicken salad, yoghurt, dinner, sandwich in the evening (WTF????) and 3 pieces of fruit! So much information is given in the LT video about the TFR, and I feel I really understand it, but I am hopelessly lost when it comes to the theory of Refeed!
Aaaagh!
Any help, much appreciated!

[nicki26]

hmmmmmm i think it does mean days 4-7 for however long you're supposed to follow it for, i am going to try and do 6 weeks of it before moving onto whatever diet path i choose to follow,i am pretty clueless to be honest with you, it confuses me 2 and my chemist doesnt seem 2 sure herself,

hopefully somebody else will come along and help otherwise i am stuffed lol literally....

DAY 3...23/08/08

BREAKFAST...maintenance bar


LUNCH...6oz tuna in brine with cucumber,lettuce,tomato,red pepper,raw mushroom,onion,black pepper,balsamic vinegar 'took 30 minutes to eat' was bitting n bobbing with it but was very nice.

DINNER...8oz potato cut into wedges,slightly boiled and baked in oven with black pepper 'actually turned out really nice' with 6oz haddock seasoned with pepper,served with broccoli and green beans, still eating from a saucer lol 'took 19 minutes to eat this'

[nicki26]

have been full of wind since yesterday lol and feel bloated slightly but all in all so far so good...can have yoghurt and pitta bread tomorrow which i am quite looking forward to. xxxx

 

[nictastic]

You're doing amazingly well ... are you still getting wieghed this week?
xx

 

[nicki26]

yes i am going to get weighed on thursday and get some more maintenance bars for breakfast, i am going to do this for about 6 weeks i thinkonly thing i will do differently is add other salad dressings,the low fat kraft honey n mustard one is calling my name lol wasnt sure if u could use that on days 4-7 or not? any ideas?

 

[Guenevere]

I think you can use those low fat dressings because you can use fat free spread.
