Helpful for today

Posted on November 24, 2014

OK, here are two (make that three) things I did today that help me stay on target. Or less 'off target'.

1. I have Almond Milk in my coffee. No carbs and protein.

2. I started the day off eating 7 YES SEVEN large stalks of Celery. That made me feel like I was getting a lot of food. But, bacially I was just filing my tummy without carbs. Then I ate a small container of Cottage Cheese. And actually, this breakfast saw me through for the next four hours. That worked for me today and I'm going to try it tomorow also!

And then at the end of the day when I needed a sweet snack

3 I walked through Whole foods and tried their GOAT CHEESE GOUDA - and YUM was that the best. Sweet cheese. Tasted almost like candy. No carbs. GREAT WIN. Actual name of Cheese: Cypress Grove Midnight Moon.

Now, after further research, because the carb is actually digestible fiber the carb count is 1g max

So, for 1 tbsp that is only 6g carbs!

Hey, Marsha, go research chia seeds. They have helped me a lot. I started with only a tsp and up to only a tbsp in the morning because they are so high fiber but check them out. If you try them, soak them in the 30 cal almond milk for at least 30 min. You can make pudding with them or use them in a smoothie or make refrigerator oatmeal and use them. Lots of options and they pack a lot of nutrients in one tablespoon

Les, I am totally on board with the Chia seeds, but I was worried about the carb count. I LOVE them in yogurt. 100 Calorie Greek Yogurt, mixed with a couple of tablespoons of Chia seeds, will last me two days. As sort of a go to snack. And I know the research says Chia seeds are not known to make you feel fuller. BUT THEY DO! For me anyway. I'll try them in the Almond Milk. Good call. I hadn't thought of that. THANKS!

Are they high carb, I will have to go back and look at that. Also, I have gotten hooked on Siggi's brand yogurt. Very low carb and the vanilla is only 100 calories and 14g of protein. I mix my seeds with that, blueberries and oatmeal for breakfast!
