Woohoo!!! At the end of 2 weeks, I'm down 10 pounds on the scale! Now I know, the first thought is, "but what if it's just water weight - or I'm losing lean muscle?" Far from it. I know how much that bloating look has gone down in certain places. I have more energy. I feel great. And I love what I'm eating.
By being on this, I'm now 2 weeks in of being sugar free. I'm 99.9% gluten free too. In 2 weeks I've had 2 slices of sprouted Ezekiel bread for a sandwich, and I've had 1 low carb tortilla per week for a fajita. I could never be sugar free before, the cravings were too strong. It's hidden everywhere, especially in places like condiments, marinades, sauces, frozen foods, etc. I've been using the THM sweetener blends that use Stevia.
So what did I get to eat on Week 2 while I lost weight and got healthier? I had the best recipe so far, the Cheeseburger Pie - which I shared with the boys and they liked it too, I made the Egg Roll in a Bowl. Everyone loves that one. I had pancakes with syrup, chicken alfredo, hamburgers (no bun, I used lettuce cups made from leaves of Butter/Boston lettuce), steak on salad, chicken on salad, chili lime chicken burgers, a great dessert/snack called cottage berry whip that has the texture of mouse and sorbet mixed, all kinds of shakes, all day sipper drinks, and last night I made the most amazing chocolate chip frap (that's their spelling). I've also had baked goods like waffles, muffins, cakes - I truly don't feel like I'm missing out on anything!
Today I begin Week 3 with a new recipe, French Toast in a Bowl. It has all the taste and texture of french toast, but it's done in under 2 minutes. So happy. After I hit my goal weight, I plan on teaching a class/support group on THM. This beats anything I've ever tried for losing weight and getting healthy - and I've tried them all!
