The Loft: Butches and Femmes in their 40s, 50s and over.

Jet · 10-10-2010, 12:48 PM

I shopped for my weight loss regimen which is 50% protein, 30% carb and 20% fat. I'll do this for one month.

FAT Loss Phase 1

Today is an example:
breakfast (never skip this meal)
Scrambled eggs, cottage cheese
half a grapefruit

protein snack: Options: Drink or protein bars, nuts, string cheese

Lunch
BLT with turkey bacon
and deviled eggs which I make with cottage cheese, lowfat Mayo and
mustard

Snack: protein snack: Options: Drink or protein bars, nuts, string cheese

Tonight
leftover chicken stir fry made with brown rice
Gazpacho
1 100-calorie Thomas English muffin
protein drink

Phase II Energy
Next month: 50% carb, 30% protein, 20% fat

3rd month:
Phase III Endurance

I do high impact excercies. After my weight stabilizes, in 3 months or so, I'll go back to weight training with my gym and weight sets.

Stuff:
Always cook with olive oil (the cheapest and the greenest)
and Canola oil
Drink skim milk
Use sweeteners
never get Fat Free, just get 1/3 fat or low fat
Use egg whites instead of the yolk
Walk judiciously
Eat within the same time frames every day

Sounds good to me and I didn't know that they had low cal English muffins...good to know

LipstickLola · 10-10-2010, 06:43 PM

With the crazy shifts I work, eating at the exact same time is really difficult, but I know how important that is. I have a "cut-off" time though for sure, whether a regular meal has been eaten or not.

I'm a carboholic (is there a thread for that?)

When I do mostly protein in balance with the other stuff, I feel so much better, but I get off track easily, cake anyone?

This lofter can't do high impact. But the gym is paying off

How often do you have to remind someone of a "date" ? Was arranged almost a month ago for a great concert. It's an hour away so I called the night before and it's forgotten. I "should have called earlier." I don't ask anyone out often enough, so I had no idea. What do you do? How often do you call and remind someone of the date?

I dont know what you do, but i would never make a date that far in advance unless I knew someone well.

Galahad · 10-11-2010, 09:58 PM

For an important concert? They only come around every two years or so. Made the date as soon as I found out about it.

Anyway, how often do you call? I don't want to be a pest about it. We called or visited only once a month or so previously.

X'cuse me for butting in, but where are your 5-7 servings of green things? Half a grapefruit is some Vit C. Realize this is a special diet, but you need those green leafy veggies every day!

I only posted a sample of one day. I'm not going to post the whole thing. Green leafy veggies is in lunch and dinner on most every day following

I only posted one day to give an idea of portions/percentages of protein, carbs and fat. Today I had a chefs salad for lunch and tonight I'm having brussel sprouts.

I am glad that I found this thread. Saying hello to everyone from the Athens area of Georgia. Have a great Friday and weekend. I plan on being outside as much as possible as the weather is awsome! A bit cold at night (45) but that is okay because I just bought a new electric blanket. Mine died last winter. I was excited to see how they have changed. The new one is that microplush fabric and it is the color of chocolate, ten settings and autoshut off! That tells you how old the other one was.
