While I ve been on this diet for months now...I still find myself second guessing foods that I am eating....do any of these scream LE DIET NO NO? I am always eating these in the serving on the package and only one serving (or within limits)
turkey bologna (maybe 2 times a week)
baked cheetos
spinach/cheese hot pockets
reduced fat oreos
yoplait and yoplait light yogurts (1 sometimes 2 a day if I need more protein) but is the calcium in these an issue?
Atomic will def say no magic foods and everything fine as long as you stick to your limits with protein and fat! Someone shoot me if I'm wrong but this is what I'm doing!!
All sounds good to me. In fact I would like to eat any of it right now:)
I would say as long as it's within limits your good. Before my loss I would avoid things like carrots, peas, nuts/peanut butter. If I had salad I would do iceberg lettuce instead of romaine. Now I don't worried if what I am eating is too healthy. If I feel like it and it is in limits, I eat it. Unless I am having a cheat meal;) then all thoughts are tossed out the window.
That's right. Although there aren't any no-no foods on the LE diet, food like avocado I would probably want to keep to a minimum because of high nutrient content.Quote:

Thank you all :) Trying to not over think stuff but sometimes I cant help it :D
Is there a new thread for "what we're eating"? My vices are butter, cream, pb.... I'm lazy so making toast and pb is my thing. Guess I'm ditching it (most days). And idk if I can give my morning coffee with cream up.

I skipped peanut butter (thought it was too nutrient rich) but did have a coffee every morning. Sometimes with a splash of milk, maybe you could try and just do your coffee without milk and sugar?

hitmebaby - instead of peanut butter I switched to cookie butter (I'm not sure if you're in the US, but it's from Trader Joe's). It's a tiny bit high in fat, so I would just use 1 tbsp of that and some strawberry jam on white bread and it would make the yummiest sandwiches! The texture is very similar to peanut butter but it's less healthy than peanut butter (and seriously tasty!) so while swaying that was my go to for sandwiches. I had coffee and creamer every morning while swaying but I guess I'm not sure yet if that ruined my sway!
There used to be a what we're eating thread, but not sure it's been update for many weeks.
I eat small amounts of PB, usually thinly spread on a rice cracker, maybe a few times a month. PB is actually not that healthy; it's more pink friendly than butter at least.
