Hi-
I have all the Hellers books. IMHO, there is no way anyone could lose weight or be healthy eating the RM you described. Remember, the whole idea of this plan is to reduce insulin release by reducing frequency and amount of carbs you are eating. What you are having for RM is more carbs than you need.
pg 120 (1991 Signet Paperback)" The Reward Meal is to be a daily feast, not a binge. Make it a delicious, well rounded meal. Select foods from the four basic groups, include milk and dairy products; meat, fish and poultry; fruits and vegetables (as well as a salad); and breads and grains."
pg 122 "At your Reward Meal there are no limitations on how much you eat as long as the meal is well balanced and sensible."
IMHO, your RM is not well balanced or sensible. I think the Hellers wrote CALP to help clear up what they meant by well balanced- and came up with salad, 1/3 protein,1/3 veggie, 1/3 carb.
If I was doing a deli sandwich on a french roll for my RM protein and carb, my whole RM would be:
salad (with whatever I wanted on it)
sandwich(the carb for the RM would be the bread)
veggie (spinach, brussel sprouts, green beans- something like that)
PLEASE buy CALP and follow the BALANCED RM that Summer described. It is great and filling and will work. You can also have only complex carbs if you like- it is an option. Please post a lot and let us help-
The weight you have gained may be lots of water- as you are eating so much salt too. Please try it balanced- it really works.
