Ready-Set-Go

so i am having a shake for breakfast. I always liked the myoplex but i bought musclemilk light....it tastes pretty good actually.

My hubby had lost 100 pounds and used myoplex or metrx shakes for breakfast and snacks....but I am not sure how the shakes are supposed to be used in diets. I guess thats something i can look into here on the site...this also tells how to use the drink for supplementing diet...

Best ways to use Muscle Milk Light
Before: Take one serving of Muscle Milk Light 45 minutes to one hour prior to training. Muscle Milk Light provides the caloric energy needed for intense workouts while flooding nutrients to hungry muscles.

After: Take Muscle Milk Light immediately after workouts to shift the body from catabolic to anabolic. Muscle Milk Light provides nutrients to kick start the recovery process.

All-around: Two or three servings of Muscle Milk Light spaced between balanced, portion controlled meals helps provide long-lasting hunger satisfaction. NEVER HUNGRY, MORE ENERGETIC. When combined with resistance and weight training, this small portion technique will help promote lean muscle mass, the very element crucial to BURNING STUBBORN, STORED FAT. Fueling your body with high quality nutrients is the smart way to manage your weight. Muscle Milk Light is the perfect solution to fill the gaps in your daily nutritional program.
 
Hi Karebare,
Hope you find the earring! Try to remember the veggies and water today!! I do not know much about the shake, but if you can lose weight on it, it's wortha shot! :)
 
Hiya karebare! I was just browsing and ran across your diary and thought i would stop by to encourage u. :) im considered a newb too, and i know sometimes its hard to stay motivated after a while, or at least for me it is :) I was also gonna suggest maybe doing the V-Day challenge. It starts on the 3rd i believe. I think it will be a good way to start off the new year and keep people motivated. :) Hope to see u around he forum, good luck! :)

thanks em, i will check it out

okay so i went to the good brunch today and ate alot--had this thing called Misa..its a mexican breakfast dish......i have been too full all day...then me and my friend went to see "PS I love you"....note, not the best movie to see if you just lost a loved one.

sat with my friend and talked till about 10:30 and had to drive home in a blizzardy like snowstorm (she lives like an hour and 15 minutes away)...the drive home sucked.

anyway...i know eating one meal aday not good....i am gearing up for my start...

night all
 
Hi Karebare,
The New Year is almost here! I heard eating small amounts of food every few hours helps you lose weight. I know sometimes I forget to eat or eat way too much in one sitting. Just wanted to pop in and say Happy New Year!!
 
today i have been reading the book YOu ON A Diet...I tried to read it once before but dang its alotta read. I want to scream "just get to the point" while reading it

I have tried doing smaller meals today

I think I was pretty successful

what i have eaten today..throughout the day

Protien Shake
Salad and cup of veggie soup
a turkey burger on lowfat wheat bun
a handful of almonds
a small chicken breast with a little salad
another protien shake...
 
Hi Karebare, Happy New Year! Looks like your on your way for 2008! Did the almonds make your feel and fuller? Who wrote "you on a diet" is it any good? See ya later! eevee
 
Hey E

well, i dunno....if they did.. :)

today i had

a protein bar for breakfast
a chicken breast and raw veggies for a snack
a salad and cup of bean soup for lunch
a few handfuls of almonds
no diet soda
some sugar free/caffiene free iced tea.

and i am making the salmon and rice recipe in the book for dinner.

here is a link to the book


i am supposed to walk at least 30 minutes a day and do stretching exercises for the first 2 weeks.....

my weight on my scale was like 178 but on my trainers scale it is like 181...i think i will wait until i see her next monday to put an official weight down and get a ticker

my hubby said..you just ate, why are u eating again (he is going to diet with me but of course he doesnt want to do what i am doing) and i told him that the book has me eating 3 meals a day and 2 snacks...and nothing after 8:30 so it may seem like i am eating all the time..

oh ya

no booze or diet pop today..wootwootwoot

good luck everyone
me
 
Thanks for the link Karebare! It seems like a lot of food but I heard smaller portions many times a day helps metabolism. Impressed with the no soda!! Still trying that my self. I'll look for the book today, thanks again!! Eevee
 
actually its 3 meals and 3 snacks.

a lite dessert every other day

I slept like crap last night...alot of nightmares...do vitamins give you nightmares?

I have had today (and i am hungry)

7:30 am A protein shake with 2 frozen strawberrys blended in
10:00 am An Apple and a handful of almonds
11:45 amA salad and 1 cup of veggie soup and a very little yogurt with probiotics..meijer brand
2:30 pmA banana and handful of almonds
3:45 pm About 1 cup brown rice and some left over salmon from last night

to drink
about 36 ounces of water, some lemonade crystal lite and a cup of tea and one cup of coffee.

I wasnt supposed to eat the rice/salmon but i was very hungry. i drank water and tried to evaluate my hunger and on a scale of 1 to 5 i was about a 4 after the banana and almonds

so now my hunger is like a 3 out of 5. I think I am going to have to restrategize for lunch....apples do nothing for me...everyone says they are filling but not me.....any suggestions welcome.....
 
I had talapia and a coleslaw recipe out of my You on a diet cookbook and some grilled zucchini for dinner.

My diet book said every other night I can have a dessert type dish in place of my evening snack...like frozen yogurt instead of veggies/fruit. So i had a cup of frozen vanilla yogurt with some strawberries.

I didnt exercise (bah)...thats something i need to hop on the bandwagon there. I have my kickboxing bag and i looked at it last night but never did it..bah....

I also didnt drink anywine last nite... :)

no diet pop either...but i have a diet quenchers from meijer today, its like flavored water..but i notice the first ingredient is a fructose type ingredient so i guess thats not good is it.

but anyway

i have had a shake today (protien with 3 frozen strawberries blended in) and for snack some walnuts. I forgot to eat my apple for my snack so i guess i should do that because i am supposed to

its hard to learn to eat every few hours.

but all is well and i feel less bloated today

hope eveyone is doing great.

Kare

Honestly, that doesn't sound like enough calories or protein to me, although it's hard to tell with no serving sizes.
 
Lemonade Diet

I am trying to jumpstart my results too, and I love the lemonade diet. I did it a long time ago (when I was pretty thin but thought I was fat) and lost 13 pounds in 7 days. It is a great motivator when you see the numbers on the scale dropping.

Let me know if you want the recipe!

Hi it's Eevee, I would like the recipe! Thanks!:waving:
 
Hi Karebare!

Hope all is well today! Here are the new tips I learned....

figure out how much you want to weigh, your goal weight, and then x's that by 100. This will be the amount of calories you need to eat to maintain that weight.

Ex. I weighed in this morning at 159.0 lbs. If I want to maintain that weight I need to eat 1590 cal. today. But if I want to lose weight I need to either eat less cal. or workout more to get rid of cal. Very interesting article I read.

Also drink water thru out the whole day. Have a great day!:waving:
 
This is not a lifestyle, it's a detox

Evee,
Here is the recipe, do this "diet" for at least 10 days to clease the toxins.

You will need:
Purified Water
Lemons
Cayenne Pepper
Grade B Organic Maple Syrup
Organic Sea Salt (I buy Celtic, gray sea salt)
Smooth Move Laxative Tea (Any brand with Senna is fine)
Peppermint Tea

The night before you start drink a packet of tea
First thing in the moring drink 4 cups of water with 2 tsp. sea salt, straight away (This is totally gross but it literally flushes all the stuff right out of you, espeially the first couple of days you won't want to leave home for a couple of hours in the morning, and if you feel like you have to go to the bathroom...YOU DO!)

Don't make the lemonade too far in advance as it will lose its potency.
I make it in the following batches:
I take 1 bottled water, the juice from 1 lemon, 1/4 c. organic grade B syrup, and 1/5 tsp. Cayenne Pepper and mix it up.

Yo need to drink this mixture at least 3 times per day upto 6 times per day.

You may drink peppermint tea periodically throughout the day if you would like. NO OTHER FOOD!

Let me know if you have any questions. If you decide to do it, GOOD LUCK!
 
Good afternoon Karebare! How's it going?! What's going on today? Hubby and I went to a farmers market today and to Savers looking for clothing. Hope you're having a great day!:seeya:
