Lori- I'm glad I make you smile!
Re-feed is quite complicated & you've got enough on your plate at the moment (pun intended!) so don't be too hard on yourself. From my slant on re-feed a more gradual addition shouldn't hurt as you're giving your body a bit more time to adjust to the extra food. Have a lovely vacation! xo Cate.
Day 9 of re-feed. Weight 70kg.
Today I add 120g! "old" protein, 160g "old" vegies, 1 "good" fruit, 1 "bad" fruit & may have 3 slices of bread (or 9 crackers etc.- 1 slice of bread =3 crackers)
Breakfast- Yoghurt & 100g blueberries( 1 "good" fruit)
Ate a banana( 1 "bad" fruit) at about 10.30am.
Visited my DIL as I wanted to see my gorgeous grand-daughter. Bought a loaf of light rye bread at the baker's along the way. Stayed there for an hour & a half. It was lovely!
When I got home I cut some rye bread so that I had 2 tiny slices, weighing just under 30g(1 slice bread), spread both slices with my mayo allowance, topped with some cooked chicken breast( to make up some of the extra allowance), salt & pepper & very slowly ate it. Heaven!
Lunch- An hour later I cooked my normal sized chicken portion with extra 80g vegies, mostly silver beet as I wanted it gone. I much prefer bok choy or cabbage so won't buy silver beet again.
Ate an orange after lunch.
Dinner- will be an eye-fillet steak, weighing 188g, which will bring my extra protein up to 120g, with either a salad or, more likely a stir-fry vegie combination of mostly onion, tomato, mushroom, garlic, celery & prob. cabbage. That sounds good. Forget the salad! Once again I will have a little fruit platter afterwards. I might even have some more rye bread as it was so delicious.
My YS is coming to stay on Friday night, along with 2 of his 8-ball buddies. I have to come up with an extra mattress before tomorrow night. It's too late to go buy one as I couldn't get it home in my car or have it delivered on time. I might ring a neigbour. I do need to change the set-up with beds. I think 2 singles, that can be put together if necessary, would be better in 1 room & a single with a trundle in the other. I'll have to check out the alternatives. I will get around to this sometime.
Something really strange is happening on re-feed. I am eating much more & am hungry quite often (like now!) I find that odd. I must ring or email the clinic & ask if that's common & if so, why.
Enough for now. I might pop back tonight. Cheers, Cate.
