Hi all...thought I would add my 2 cents. Well I just recently started 6 Week Body Makeover...(again)...and I now realize why I like it better than extremely low carb. One...because I have more energy and can get up the stairs without thinking I am going to pass out...
Eating 5-6 meals a day is good for me... I don't count the carbs but for BF I have Fiber One Cereal...snack is (1/2 cup)fruit(cantaloupe, pineapple, grapefruit, or berries)and protein...lunch is protein, 1/2 cup carb, 1 cup veggies, snack is again fruit and protein, dinner is same as lunch, and another snack (usually walnuts and 1/4 apple)... Usually I have 2 ounces of protein at each meal... I have noticed, however, that after lunch I have been getting hungry...so I added an extra ounce of protein and I haven't had that problem since!
One thing I can say about eating like this...all these meals...is that I actually can feel my metabolism raising...and I have lost inches this week...since Thanksgiving. Sometimes I get bored and want something different and so I have tried a couple of recipes that have helped. Also for my last snack I sometimes have an ounce of cheese...
Downside...have to cook in advance...and I hate to cook!
