Ok finally starting this thing:) Been very busy at work lately but will try to update as much as possible.

I posted a while back about gaining weight and not being able to lose it(despite weight training and cardio and eating as clean as possible)
still nothing but 5 lbs more of weight gain since last post???

Took everyones advice:
1) try to be more consistant with eating
2)LIFT heavier weights
(would like to attach old post-does anyone know how to do this???)

Anyhoo here are my stats(well what i know off by heart..lol)

age: 24(25 in april:)
height: 5f 4ish
weight: 145lbs -was 140 as of last post:(???
bodyfat: was 23% -but went up to 24% as of last post:(???
waist: around 28-31??

Been doing something like this for a bit but switch it up every 4-8 weeks or so(i can w/out monday/tues/wed/thurs/and only cardio or bodyweight exercises on sat/sun-so i've been finding it hard to find the right balance??

Monday-30 mins weights-chest/tri's/shoulders 25-45mins cardio after
tuesday-45mins bodyflow class(aerobics)
wednesday-30 mins weights-bi's/back-30-45mins cardio
thursday-30 mins weights-legs-20-35mins cardio(sometimes)
friday-off
sat-off or sometimes 45mins cardio
sun-off

diet I posted before but try to eat clean and will post as much as possible.
Use fitday daily!!!

Do not have pics(don;t have a camera..lol)

Any help or advice(especially with training)would be great.
My goals are to lose body fat, build strength, be healthy and happy about myself.

Hi D! Your diet looks good - You have done your homework! Make sure those weekend cheats aren't out of control, and ensure that you're eating before and after your cardio sessions so that you're not burning up your hard-earned muscle.

Keep it up and I'm sure you'll start to see results! :)

MsJewels

03-08-2005, 02:17 PM

Oh, meant to ask - Do you do any HIIT? Doing a few sessions of that would really benefit you more than 45 minutes of moderate intensity cardio.

03-09-2005, 07:23 AM

Good morning everyone:)

MsJewels-Hi, thanks for responding. I've been interested in nutrition and exercise for awhile now. I find I'm constantly reading and researching this topic..lol-I'm glad to hear my diet is looking good. I feel that I should be eating more??? I will slowly increase the amounts I guess!! To answer your question about Hiit-every tues I've been doing a 45 mins class to try something different and the other day anywhere from 25-45mins then usually 1 day/week do Hiit for 15-20mins max. sometimes cannot even do that because i'm about to fall off the treadmill..lol-but i like it better than long sessions because i get bored quickly..lol-cardio sucks!!! My main goal right now is to lift heavy and build strength(well hopefully losing body fat too:). I find i cannot lift very heavy??? not sure why. I would think by now it would be easier..lol-well we'll try again tonight

Wow, yeah, your cals are low if you're doing that much cardio and hope to build muscle. Do you find that you're hungry at all? You shouldn't be hungry, but shouldn't overstuff yourself, either.

I'm in the same boat as you in regards to lifting heavy. I'm working my way up! I want to ensure my form is bang on with deadlifts and squats before going all out, so I don't hurt myself.

Keep it up and you'll see results! :)

tigercat24

03-10-2005, 06:15 AM

Hello,
thanks a lot for the input. So ya about the cals I ended up eating a lot more yesterday than planned..lol-the main time I'm hungry is at night(probably not hunger but something to do..lol)and in the early morning(could eat the whole damn house-which is opposite than anyone I know-but I'm trying to switch it around a bit to help metabolism. Hopefully its going to work. I'm trying my best to eat clean throughout the week and then allow a cheat meal or two on the weekend. I find this board so helpful for me and everyone is so nice:) Will keep at it and I hope I see the results I'm looking for.
Ya about the weights-thats what I'm trying to do--concentrate on proper form. I'm just impatient and want to see results right away I guess..lol-also my gym does not have a smith machine or any bar type machine...(I know this isn;t good.)But the membership is up I think in sept. so hopefully by then I will be stronger and use those at a new gym:)yahh!!!
Can I ask what type of exercise plan you are on and is it working for you?? I just cannot seem to find a plan- you know??? I like leg/shoulder and back exercise but not arms:(
oh back to work now..lol-I sit at a computer ALL day doing claims for an insurance company so got to get up and move the but around for a bit..lol
:D

Hey TC-

I saw your post in MsJewels journal about cookies. :) I, too, am a cookie lover. I found the perfect way to have cookies and not regret it one bit. I don't know if you would like these or not, but this is one of my variations of a recipe I found:

Almond Joy Cookies

1 cup almond butter
1 tsp coconut extract
1 egg or .25 cup egg replacement
1 cup splenda
1 tsp baking soda

Mix well and form into small balls. Flatten into small disks. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 8 minutes. Once they are baked, lightly sprinkle them with cocoa powder.

I use a measuring teaspoon to measure my balls and I use 2 teaspoons per ball. I bake them until I can see they are slightly firm, but you'll want to check them as oven temperatures vary.

They are great for a last meal...with cottage cheese! :)

Krissypoo

03-10-2005, 09:02 AM

Yep, they freeze fine. You can also do them with peanut butter. The base for the recipe is just the splenda, nut butter, egg/egg replacement, baking soda, and flavored extract. You can mix and match and play with nut butters and extracts and things you sprinkle on top or mix in. I left a bag of peanut butters at my parents' house for them to taste and my neighbor stole the whole bag! They are great! And if you use egg replacement or pasturized eggs, you can eat the dough since you are a cookie dough lover. :)

I don't know if the psuedocarb cycling is working or not. I posted pics earlier in my journal and I am going to post more pics in 2 weeks to show one month progress. Maybe I will be able to tell then. I can't see any difference in myself because I look at myself everyday. Everyone else says that I am constantly shrinking, so maybe so...

WannaBeModel:
ok those cookies were on my mind ever since you told me about them..mmmm so after lunch i bought some almond butter(organic) to make those cookies tonight or this weekend. Well i just knew it..lol-had to make up something with 3 tbps of it and 2 tbps raisins and a pack of stevia(sweetener)yummy-i can only imagine what the cookies are going to be like:)well at least its good for me and not sugar, white flour and hydrogenated oils- packaged crap..etc.....lol

question??? how much of daily fat from these should i allow myself at one sitting..lol?? my fats were really high today-well more than usual!! maybe save for weekend treat. sorry just bablbing to myself...

I'm not sure what your daily fat intake allowed is, but base it on that. 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon. Usually a serving of almond butter is 2 tablespoons or so, according to the packaging. If you are used to eating 1 tablespoon of almond butter, eat 3 cookies. If you are used to eating two tablespoons of almond butter, eat 6 cookies. It all depends on your diet for the day and what you allow yourself.

If you think your fats are already too high today, save them for the weekend. :) I wish you luck on that one! My fats aren't that high and neither are my carbs so I WILL be eating 3 cookies tonight!

well at least its good for me and not sugar, white flour and hydrogenated oils- packaged crap..etc.....lol

My thoughts exactly! ENJOY!!! :)

my gym does not have a smith machine or any bar type machine...(I know this isn;t good.)

Do they have a squat cage at all? If not, you can still do squats, of course, just don't do them to failure. At this point, if you're working on technique still, it's probably a good idea to avoid lifting too heavy anyway.

Can I ask what type of exercise plan you are on and is it working for you??

Check out my journal http://www.forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=412778 to see what my workout routine is right now. I post it daily, but I think on the 3rd or 4th page I listed it in full. :) I can complete the gym part in less than an hour.

tigercat24

03-10-2005, 01:22 PM

hi thanks a lot for answering my questions-i've got soo many:)

ya my gym has no machine-i have been doing squats with heaviest 20lbs DB in each hand(i think?) or using leg press up to 200 something lbs-ya
its a womens only and is small and geared more towards aerobics classes/equipment and free weights/some machines, stuff like that. I know FORSURE I'm going to trasfer once my membership is up!!! It is just 5 mins from my work so its REALLY convenient right now..lol-and the steam room and massage chairs included help too..lol(my friends get jealous when i say ya i'm going to w/out have a massage then a steam..lol

I'm going to start a new workout plan in a couple weeks, but i'll keep posting and any feedback on how its looking is great. my problem is I only can only go to the gym m-t sometimes fri and weekends at home??? so i get mixed info about training too many days in a row , etc... but i'll figure something out..lol

well off to the gym soon

MsJewels

03-10-2005, 02:44 PM

If muscle groups are worked aggressively, they can take up to 10 days to fully recover. So the days you can get to the gym are fine. Set you work out schedule up as day 1, day 2, day 3 - NOT as Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday. That way, if you can't get to the gym on Tuesday like you had planned, it's easy to pick up your work-out schedule at Day 2, instead of trying to catch up the work out you missed on Tuesday. This way every muscle group is going to get worked evenly. In my schedule, I actually have 6 days, because I hit the gym often, but it seems common to have a schedule with 3 days.

MsJewels

03-11-2005, 07:47 AM

You know, I was thinking about you last night, and realized that I answered your question about setting up your training wrong. You meant that you're having a problem deciding which exercises to do when, because you can only get to the gym on Mon, Tues, Fri and weekend? This is plenty! Keep in mind that the muscle group you want to focus on should be the first you do after your rest day. For example, I think my glutes need a lot of work, so Monday (after one or two rest days) is my leg day. Try not to work your arms two days in a row (I know, I'm a hypocrite! I might switch my days around a bit, too). Anyway, decide on your routine, then post it and get some comments.

SC1

03-11-2005, 09:40 AM

Hi, Tigercat. Your eating habits look really good. Like MsJewel's say, once you post workout routine, I'm sure you'll get lots of comments on that too!

I'm just impatient and want to see results right away I guess..lol-

We're all impatient! Just keep it up, it WILL come. :-)

I like leg/shoulder and back exercise but not arms:(

Lol. I hate legs, and love arms. I suspect we all love to work those body parts that are stronger and therefore easier for us! Hopefully once you build up a good strength base in your arms, you'll come to love to arm day as much as everything else.

tigercat24

03-11-2005, 11:28 AM

hello again, thanks for all the input. This site is so motivating-i can't wait to go to the gym now..lol- i didn't make cardio last night i was just so beat and decided to go home instead:(

I'm trying to come up with a new routine for when i change things up next week or so but its hard with the days i can go and the lack of equipment and my strength too:) ok well here is something i was thinking of but if anyone could helpme with the order and sets/reps or anything better that would be helpful.

Days available:
monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday-can go to the gym everyday at 5:15pm-till whenever:)
fridays-sometimes @5:15pm
saturday/sundays-at home(have 5lbs weights, bike, 5lbs ankle weights)

want my w/out's to be no longer than 45mins

day 1-chest/tri/shoulders (range 6-8 reps each)**this is the hardest part for me to work and i usually take sat/sun off from weights!!!

push ups-2-3 sets
chest press-3 sets **(DB or machine??)
DB shoulder press-3 sets
front raises-2 sets
bench dips-2 sets
lying tricep extentions-2 sets

day 2-legs/abs (want to try higher reps because my legs are getting huge:)??
squats-3 sets-8-12 reps
walking lunges-3 sets-15-20 reps each
leg extentions-2 sets-6-8
leg curls-2 sets-6-8
should i add SLDL in here???

day 3-back/bis
deadlift-4 sets-6-8
seated rows-3 sets-6-8 or bent over one arm DB rows??
**most add pullups or lat pulldowns here but don;'t have equipment for these...
seated bicep curls(DB)-3 sets-6-8
hammer curls-2 sets-6-8
crunches-3 sets- 25

ok-calves-do not have a machine. Does anyone know of a good exercice for these and where to include in above split???

I think I got everything. Any advice would be great. I'm at work so I'll be check in here and there.

D:)

chest press-3 sets **(DB or machine??)

Dumbbells :)

ok-calves-do not have a machine. Does anyone know of a good exercice for these and where to include in above split???

I used to sit on a bench, put dumbbells on my lower quads, put a couple of plates under my toes...seated calf raises! I usually do them at the end of my leg workout, but whatever works for you.

ok-so you think that this looks ok??? is it too much or too little. I guess i'll have to try it out and time it. I'm not sure if i'm strong enough to do all those sets but i'm going to try it:)

ok, going to try this out...look ok??

monday-day #1(chest/tri/shoulders)+20 mins hiit
tuesday-45 min aerobic class
wednesday-day #2(legs/calves/abs)
thursday-day #3(back/bis) +20 mins hiit
friday-off
saturday-cardio-30-45mins/abs
sun-off

got to go!!!

If you lift heavy enough, there is no way you can do HIIT and lift. Try to do the HIIT in the AM if you can and lift in the PM.

That looks like my schedule, just a few things flipped around :)

Ok so i have 1 -45 min class and 1 -30-45mins bike/video on sat or sun -so if I can't do cardio except for in the morning(which i know me it will be hard to get my ass out of bed at 5am in the morning..lol)-should I do a moderate cardio session after the weights or just not do anymore than the two days i have on off days??? My goal is to lose FAT:)

My goal is to lose FAT:)

I do HIIT on my lifting days in the AM and moderate on my off days except for Sunday where I do absolutely nothing. Get a jump rope if possible...you can make HIIT happen with that thing! I have some videos at home too, and I use the jump rope as the high intensity interval and the video as the moderate intensity interval. If you can, move back/bis to Friday so that you aren't training two days in a row. I, like you, do my moderate cardio on nonlifting days. I think that's ok.

You can get up at 5, trust me!!! I get up at 4, and take whey and a rice cake and go back to sleep for 30 minutes. Then wake up again at 4:30, take creatine and MAYBE go back to sleep if I can. Then I do HIIT at 5. Crazy, yes. Does it feel better knowing that I don't know to drag cardio out of me after lifting? YES!!! The question is, how bad do you want it? Once you know that, your answers will appear.

wow thanks for the info and motivation:) I will do 1-2 days/week of 20-30mins hiit in the morning:) I WILL!!!!!lol (ex. mondays, wednesdays)

My question and problem is I have a roommate who doesn't get up till 6:45-7am for work.(must be nice eh:) and we live in a small apartment-anyway i do have a skipping rope(almost forgot about it, under me bed collecting dust probably..lol) but not much else except a weight work/out tape and abs video and a buns/abs of steel video..lol-i've always done Hiit on a exercise machine, is there ways to do it with the skipping rope or something else???

I jump rope for a minute, then do the cardio video that I have for a minute. You can always make it work for you. Jump rope for a minute, do high knees for a minute, jump for a minute, do jumping jacks for a minute, jump for a minute...you see where I am going with this? :) Do things you like and it will be easier.

I'm the same way...I understand the nutrition, it's the training I need help with. We will get there!

Just curious...

Why do you drop your cals on a workout day and up them on a nonworkout day?

tigercat24

03-16-2005, 07:54 AM

hey, Am I really doing that??? I never noticed before!!hmmmmm...lol-thats why i thought writting everything down would help me see what i'm doing wrong..lol
I know saturday i'll usually be off my routine and stray here and there but never notice during the week. That last post for today-trust me i'll be eating more-especially this week. that is usually my foods i brought for the day and plan to eat but i always buy more or ended up eating something else..lol
So i guess i should try to eat more cals/carbs on monday/wed/friday when doing weights and tue/thus/sun eat less and sat-well thats a work in progress..lol

when i start my new routine in a couple weeks i hope everything will come together. right now i'm learning and just trying to eat clean. Thank you -really help me and motivate me..:)

Question?? I have been lifting as heavy as i can and eating high cals/carbs mostly all clean foods for maybe over 2 months now. Should i start to lower my cals for my new routine in april??? I notice some muscle underneath and more strength but i don;t really see much difference in the mirror or how my clothes are fitting???

Krissypoo

03-16-2005, 08:27 AM

I just noticed that on the last couple of days. You need the carbs to push through your workout. What I try to do is keep my carbs and cals lower on my days off, carbs lower on cardio only days, and carbs a little higher on my lifting days. You end up doing a sort of carb cycling, which helps boost your metabolism! :)

If you want to lose fat, you can drop them down a bit but not too much. If you are eating 1500 cals a day, don't drop. I'd say cycling your carbs would be better than dropping your cals if this is where you are now.

And let the HIIT do it's job! It will, trust me. Give it some time and really push yourself. I was up at my nuerotic hours this morning, right along with you...and will continue! You might also want to add a day of long, low intensity cardio like a long walk or tread on the elliptical.

EDIT: I eat the same kind that you do, I think...LOL 50 cals, 2 grams fat, 8 grams fiber, 11 carbs? Is that the one you use? I love those things!

Good morning and Happy St Patrick's Day everyone:)

Now a year ago or so I would have been going out drinking green beer but not anymore. lol-Anyway I am going for drinks after work on friday anyway(for a change), I might just have 1 martini-not sure- I honestly haven't had a drink in ages. :( when i was younger we use to party and drink allllllllllll the time..lol-I even used to work as a gogo dancer on the weekends in some of the clubs in Montreal, QC and Toronto,ON(I live in Toronto, ON by the way:)-free drinks..lol-well not too many or else i'd probably fall off the stage ..lol

Anyhoo has anyone tried Yerba Mate tea?? I bought this new loose leaf Yerba Mate tea and its great-lots of energy without the jittery feeling i get from coffee. Its nice like a green tea but a little stronger!!! can't you tell i've had two cups..lol

ok down to business. Busy today but will try to add my foods and ratios later today or tommorow!!!

Also want to say I had an amazing leg workout yesterday!!! yahhh me!!! My quads are killing me today..i am going to adjust a couple things in my new routine and adjust weight till i feel i have my form dead on. Got to go...

Dee
You know, Dee, I'm always drawn to click on your journal, but hardly ever post. I'm a lurker here! ;)

Isn't it amazing how you start to recognize when you're not eating enough protein? I can tell from my energy levels right away. And - is this in my head girls - or does eating lots of protein and eating clean in general give the skin a nicer glow? (My friend was whining about how pale she looked against me, suggesting that I had been tanning. But it's cold and wintery here (Wpg, Canada), and I haven't touched a tanning bed since January!!!!)

Sounds like fun! Enjoy yourself, and don't stress too much about the food. You only turn 25 once!

I've been busy at work too but will start recording and reading journals again!!!-

We forgive you...now get back on it! ;) Just kidding.

How's your routine and everything going?? Do you find the 50/30/20 split works better for ya?? I'm going to try to do as you said with cycling carbs/cals- one day low(cardio days) one day higher carbs(weight/hiit days)

The 50/30/20 is working great for me. I get the carbs that I want and need, the fats I need, and the protein I need. My calories might need to go up though, I'm getting hungry faster...my metabolism must be picking up speed! The routine is going well. I've decided to compete in natural bb next year, so I'm kicking things up a bit. I shocked myself at the gym yesterday. It's amazing the power the mind has over the body.

Try out the cycling...you might like it. I fele better on my off days not eating so much. It will definitely keep your body guessing.

-i did well friday added some more carrots, protein shake before bed and 2 tbps almond butter.

-did not record sat or sun and today MY B_DAY yahhh!!!!!!!!!! saturday had oats, 1/2 apple. 1 tbps almond butter and protein shake, 1 chicken pita sandwich(lettuce tomato, yogurt sauce, grilled chicken) then cranberry juice, club soda and vodka-lots of vodka..lol-i do not even know how many because it was my b-day night out and free drinks allllll night(this is why i don't go out anymore..lol) so ya sat was awful then sunday was a right off because i was so hungover. ate soup, saltine crackers for stomach and then large ceaser salad, ginger ale and baked potato, oh and some tortilla chips. yup my b-day is lasting me 3 whole days..lol-I even had these two guys fighting over me-so immature:) but i was flattered..lol-but still immature..made me feel better because i have been down lately with not losing weight

Oh My brother(who is 21) is soo sweet-at lunch he arrived at my work with 25 long stem pink roses-that was soo thoughtful. I was surprised. It was actually from my mom, the dog and the cat and him-but to come from Aurora(30min drive) meant a lot to me:)awww-made my day!!!!!!!!

got to go but will post foods tomorrow.
A little off topic and will post in other forum too but I am thinking next week to go off my birth control(diane 35) been on it for over 6 years-started bacause i have hormonal acne very badly but since taking Diane my skin is perfect and glowing:)
anyone have any experiences going off the pill???ex. did you break out? lose/gain weight?? headaches??

Good to see you back! And still on track. :)

So are you aiming for cals of 40/40/20?

tigercat24

04-29-2005, 06:07 AM

Hey thanks, it feels good to be writting things down again.:)My cals have been low lately and carbs so i guess i needed a higher cal/carb day yesterday. I kinda was doing a 30p/50c/20f for one day and 3 days of 45p/35c/20f and sometimes 40p/30c/30f. I think i work best with the last too and 40/40/20 so thats my goal for now!!! i was just trying to see what my body works best with:)

I was sort of doing a carb cycle/high intensity low rep but i think i'll just try to keep higher carbs on harder w/out days and lower on off days or cardio only and try to burn some fat off for summer now that i've gainned more muscle and strength..right???
I found my strength has improved and my numbers went up on weights so thats a plus..yahh!!! My concern now is my lower stomach/lower obliques i just can't get that last bit of fat off but i know its diet so i keep trying..lol-I think i'm at 20% now but the scale didn't move???-scratches head-:=(I wish i coud get a pic of myself to show you but oh well!!NO CHEATS ALLOWED EXCEPT ONE DAY/week!!!!!

ooh and I used to buy that sprouted bread when i was younger but forgot about till i read the post on it here. Bought some a while back and yummy!!
How often can i have that though??? Is it as clean as brown rice and oats???

I'm off to Peterborough this weekend to look at cottages. My aunt is thinking of buying one and wants my help!! yahh somewhere to relax in the summer!!! I'm also nervous a bit because i'm seeing two girls i used to hang out with for 3 yrs or so every summer. its been awhile over 10 yrs since i've seen them:( It will be good i hope....

well everyone have a great weekend!!!

Hey you! :) Don't be worried about seeing those girls. You are working hard, eating clean, and looking great. What they think doesn't matter, but I bet they will think you look good! You know you are leaning out and getting more muscular. Just show that you are confident and they won't know what to do with themselves.

The sprouted grain bread is fine, I don't see a problem with it at all. If you like it, go for it. It's better than any other bread, in my opinion.

And don't go MIA like that again! :D

tigercat24

05-12-2005, 10:41 AM

hey-i guess i just haven't been that hungry lately and really busy but those are excuses right..lol-the main reason is i haven;t been lifting only getting some walking and really light cardio in. i'm going to slowly raise them next week as i will start back with lifting(kinda miss it) i don't know what else to eat i feel like i'm full and eating all day though....i guess once i start up lifting again the appetite will come:)mmmm
how's everything??? i haven't had lots of time to read up on peoples journals but i try to record in my own as much as possible!!!
i've lost bodyfat though(FINALLY)so yah for me!!!!
ok this lady at work is sooo cute-she just handed me a little piece of organic sweet potato-jeez she is the only one who understands the way we eat in my office(i think its because she grew up in guyana(sp?) and is used to unprocessed food:)

thanks, i'm learning and trying to stick with it!!!
I found a diet from Beverly International. Has anyone heard of her and the food plans she has!! I know i'm not competing or anything but she did have an outline of what to eat even for women just trying to lose bodyfat. I like the plan she has and it is pretty much what i eat now but i want to follow it strickly and try to incorporate that way of eating. Can i eat like that for long periods of time though or is it just for 12 weeks or so till desired results are found.Any help???

web:
http://www.bodybuildingworld.com/monthlydiet/july2001.html

2 TBL Cider Vinegar and 1

Meal #5
5 oz. 93% lean beef,

1 tsp Flax Oil

TIPS
The order of the meals is not as important as the content of the meals. If you would like to switch the order of meal #1 and meal #2 - no problem.
Don’t try to substitute cheaper versions for the listed supplements. It¹s better to use no supplements than to substitute. Fillers and binders found in cheaper grade supplements could cause a blurring of definition and slight accumulation of fat overtime (as well as cause unpredictable results).
If you have not been using Ultra 40 and Mass Aminos prior to starting your new diet, start with 1 or 2 tablets of each per meal and each three days add another until you reach the recommended dosage.
Make sure the beverages you drink are non-caloric - Crystal Light, diet sodas, coffee, tea, are all-ok. Try to drink at least one-gallon water daily for each 100 pounds bodyweight.
You may substitute foods on your prescribed diet with another food from the same category below. For example, if your diet calls for carrots, you can substitute with any non-starchy vegetable such as tomato or another from the list below.
Master Food List - You may substitute freely within a category for variety:
I. Proteins—Chicken, tuna, fish, turkey breast, lean beef, egg whites, whole eggs, Complete, Muscle Provider, Ultra 40 desiccated liver tablets, Mass Amino Acid tablets

II. Complex (Natural) Carbohydrates—This is a risky area. A complex carbohydrate is one that can be fully utilized by the body to be burned as energy. Some good examples are baked potatoes, sweet potatoes, brown rice, cream of rice, rice cakes, oatmeal, kidney and lima beans, corn, lentils, and peas.

III. Fresh Fruits - Apples, apricots, avocados, berries, cantaloupe, cherries, grapefruit, grapes, honeydew melons, nectarines, oranges, papaya, peaches, plums, strawberries. (Unsweetened frozen fruits are acceptable as part of your total fruit intake.)

IV. Non - Starchy Vegetables: asparagus, green beans, cabbage (all varieties), carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, kale, lettuce (all varieties), onions, peppers (green, red, jalapeno, etc.), radishes, spinach, string beans, squash (summer varieties only), tomatoes, water chestnuts and zucchini.

V. "Healthy" Fats and Oils: Flax seed oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, walnut oil, olive oil, almonds, Brazil nuts, filberts, pecans, pine nuts, walnuts, heavy cream, real butter, and lecithin granules.

Yikes - Did you calculate how many cals that buttery topping you're putting on your popcorn will add? Look at me, trying to ruin your cheat! Forget it, I was just going to start babbling about butter-flavoured cooking spray (I use it, and it's actually good on popcorn!)

Enjoy your movie - And your weekend! :)

tigercat24

06-06-2005, 07:00 AM

good morning:)
MsJewels you're funny..lol
i actually didn;'t have the popcorn because we ended up going dancing friday night-it was fun!!
-i use PAM butter spray sometimes to cook with-is that what you use for popcorn too?? not sure. i use becel-the dairy free etc.. here is the info below. I hope it is ok to use-i have been for a while now and enjoy it on veggies and my popcorn. :) is there a better brand that is lactose free and low fat that you know of?? thanx
=D

INFO:
What is Becel RSF recommended for?
