Great mix, Queen! You're stepping out - I'm proud of you! Thank you for the technique and tip regarding your drink...I'll have to give it a shot. Your okra was a hit! We loved it...looks like it will go into rotation.
Today is my first born's 19th bday, so I fear my menu will not be entirely THM friendly. It has been our tradition to eat my mum's cinnamon rolls for birthday breakfasts, and I am unsure that I can turn one down. If I had been organized, (ahem!) I may have found a THM version, but not this year! Breakfast is in a few minutes, so we shall see how I do...

Aaahhh...yes, back on the THM train. I'm planning a tune up - at least a week, might even do the suggested two weeks, because I feel like it will help me get back on track with a bang! We have a couple of parties this week, so it will be challenging, but I will try!
Today's Deep S Menu:
B: scrambled eggs in coconut oil, nutritional yeast, and Frank's, trimmy
L: baked chicken over steamed cabbage shreds drizzled with olive oil coconut oil, nutritional yeast, salt/pepper, lemon lime "pop"
D: crispy salmon over zoodles tossed green salad with olive oil and balsamic & a piece of skinny peppermint chocolate
Sn: lemon gluccie pudding

Good luck with your fuel cycle. The deep S days are hardest for me, but I don't mind the E and FP days. I've done a couple of fuel cycles, but I didn't really see any benefit. Except that I did get better at constructing deep S meals. I had one yesterday.  B: (E)creamy grains with pineapple & blueberries L: (deep S) roast pork over spaghetti squash with butter and garlic, skinny chocolate D: (E) creamy chicken and wild rice soup, ezekiel toast with deli ham and LLC cheese wedge. S: (E) greek yogurt with pineapple and a few ezekiel cereal sprinkles on top This is my favorite roast pork recipe: www.primallyinspired.com/slow-cooker-chipotle-pork-with-pineapple-coleslaw/I usually leave out the broth, as there is plenty of moisture without it. I add a quarter cup of red wine instead. |

Oh, yum! Your pork recipe looks awesome! I am definitely going to try that one. Yes, I haven't done one of these in a long while, so I found the deep s days were more challenging than I recall. Yesterday I did my first FP day, and woke up this morning hungry. Onward to my 2nd FP menu: B: (homemade!) greek yogurt with lemon and stevia, lite trimmy L: loaded fotato soup, baby frappe, sliced cukes D: creamy cream-less chicken, lemon-lime soda Sn: matcha tea gluccie pudding, lite trimmy Sip: oolong "sweet" tea, hot apple pie |

The E days are my favorite. I've been doing lots of E meals lately. I think I'm finding too, that I do better with smaller amounts of protein, and less muscle meat protein. I keep tweaking. |

I don't know how well my body does with E meals, well, too many E meals, because E style meals were what brought me to this place of obesity, in the first place. Sort of. I tend to over do carbs, because I love them. The protein is what helps to balance them out for me, and that is what I was missing over the years of weight gain. Anyhow, I put together a menu for this coming week, which is THM, but not necessarily turtle style. I will post my menu on my old journal link - if anyone is interested.  Keep tweaking! Blessings upon your day! |

Not sure how I missed the question, but I'll answer it now for anyone wondering. Kelp noodles are made from seaweed and are basically like miracle noodles only better (I think). They can either be eaten crunchy (think water chestnut crunchy) or if you put them in an acidic sauce they will soften like a regular pasta noodle. I posted my chicken/zoodle umami recipe here: trimhealthymama.freeforums.net/thread/3631/chicken-zoodles-peanut-sauce |

I've been working on the stubborn loser menus and really sticking to them at least in the spirit of keeping exactly to the fuel types and portions alloted for the day. I also kept my coffee/cream to meals and only drank hot shrinkers or boost juice in between, which is something I've not made myself do before. I only add a tsp or so of half&half to my coffee, so didn't think it mattered much, but maybe it does since I am an all-day coffee drinker.
In a little over a week, I've dropped about 3 pounds (not sure they should all be counted as real loss since two of them appeared suddenly right before I started). That is a net of about a pound. Anything that goes in the downward direction is progress for me. A pound loss is pretty exciting, being as I have not ever lost anything on this plan before, even trying 2 fuel cycles. I'm going to try to do 3 weeks of these pulled-back menus and see where that gets me. If the losing trend continues, the sad news will be that I was eating too much and will really have to keep portions fuel portions smaller. Just separating fuels, no matter how perfectly I do it, is apparently not enough to allow me to lose.
I've done a couple all or almost all deepS days--those are the hardest. Here are a couple menus I used:
B: Deep S - sausage patty, zucchini & kale saute, rhubarb
L: Deep S - zupa toscana (left out dairy) 2 bacon strips, piece of skinny chocolate
D: Deep S - sensitive Big Boy with extra coconut oil
S: FP - Chia tapioca pudding
B: E-sourdough toast with peanut junkie butter and jelly
L: light S - soothe your soul soup (this was pretty good!)
D:FP - chicken soup with bone broth, blended yellow squash, handful of peas & carrots & 2 T. creamy grains
S: E - red grapes (so crispy this year!) and goat cheese
You can see by the above examples that they want dairy to be minimal, and there is a lot of dependence on soups and shakes. Most of the time, I have been replacing the shakes (especially breakfast) with a warm pudding. I don't care for cold meals unless it is summer and sticky-hot. Cold food is not helpful for low thyroid either, so there is that.
