[quote][b]Mandy80 (9/01/2009)[/b][hr]Hi, just a quick question, does it matter if you have the protein at dinner or lunch? ie have the protein and veges for lunch and then just the shake and salad for dinner? I wasn't sure if there was a specific reason that we need to have the protein before going to bed to last until morning?[/quote]

My opinion only, and I'm interested in feedback - but, I was of a mind that the protein was best kept for the evening meal, so that you're not going to bed with a tummy full of carbs (shake).

I guess it could depend on what time you go to bed, but is there any validity to my thoughts?

RE: A Typical Day on TF

mallyflea — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 13:29:07 GMT

Cinders that 2 hours applies to any medication as well, the pill, vitamins, any meds of any kind, its just that fibre forms a gel and slows the absorbtion and hense the benefit of the meds etc.,

Danielle has taken care of your other question :O)

RE: A Typical Day on TF

Dan1elle — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 12:55:01 GMT

Hommus is a nono, because of the Chickpeas. It usually has very high carbs. However, here in NZ we have one that is under 3g carbs per serving, so have used that occassionally. Check your labels before you buy any.

RE: A Typical Day on TF

Cinders09 — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 12:49:40 GMT

Thank you Mallyflea & Dan1elle,

Wow, I didn't know that I needed 2 hours between mulit-vitamin & fibre - I will start that tomorrow and see if it makes a difference.

Thank you also for the soup recipe, I will try this over the weekend.

I will also make sure I have some chopped up veggies in the fridge, ready for when the hungers attack.

One more question... sorry.... Are we able to have a little hommus dip with the veggies, or is this a big no no...

Thanks so much for this great info...

Cheers

Hiya

To fix the hungry, add your fibre to the afternoon shake. You need too hours between fibre and the multivitamin, so that may also help. Take the multi vit at breakfast and add the fibre into the afternoon shake to keep them seperate.

Taking some Chromium may also help - it stops the carb cravings. Maybe take one at MT and another one at lunch to get you through to dinner

RE: A Typical Day on TF

mallyflea — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 11:33:41 GMT

Firstly can I suggest you take your multivitamin 2 hours before ar after fibre as it can slow or stop it from being absorbed into your body. but try and take it with food so it doesn't upset your stomach (some find this happens)

now for your hungers, try making some vegie soup from your allowed vegies, its a great filler, keep the fridge stocked with cut up vegies for that muchity crunchity craving, they keep great if you have them in a container of icy water and will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge at or under 5c...

a member posted a great soup recipe this morning, hang on and I'll go get it......ok got it.....

Yummy Broccoli Cauliflower and Zuchinni soup

You will need -

1 head of cauliflower
1 head of broccoli
2 or 3 (depending on size) of zuchinni
Campbells liquid chicken stock

Chop up all the veggies coarsely.Throw all the ingredients into a pot, simmer on low-med heat .. make sure lid is on, for 15-20 mins. Wait to cool, with a blender or hand blender .. whizz it all up until its a smooth consistency. VOILA!!

Ive been having it for lunch for nearly two weeks now .. not even sick of it.

If its too thick you can always add a bit of water afterwards.

Enjoy!!!

pm me if you have any queries........

Hi there everyone,

I have a question - I am in my 5th week now with an overall loss of 6.2 which I am really happy with, but I am finding that I am still feeling hungry & worried that my last two weigh-in are the start of my starvation mode as they were .4 & .9 respectively. My typical day is this....

Breakfast (8am): shake plus 2 teaspoons of simply fibre - plus multi-vitamin tablet.

snack 10am-10.30am): fruit (have been having about 7 strawberries & a few cherries) and today had a medium pear

Lunch (1pm-2pm): a salad - possibly 1 - 2 cups - and I add 2 slices of bacon chopped up for a little extra protien. (my bmi was above 40 - but now is probably just under)

snack (3.30pm): I have my shake

Dinner (6pm-7pm): full serve of protien and either veggies or salad.

supper (9pm-10pm): if I need it - I will have a jelly.

By 8am, I am ready for my shake. by 10-10.30 I am really ready for my snack - and then about 12 - 12.30 I am really really hunger - but hang out till 1pm because that is my lunch break time.

I guess my worst time for hunger is the morning & around 5pm just before dinner - am I not eating enough at my snack maybe...

sorry for the long winded email - I am hoping for some grea tips from all you successful ladies/gents.

thanks for your time

Cheers

DEE ANGEL

The diet works best for weightloss if you have the 2 shakes and a balanced protein meal a day, otherwise you can go into starvation mode and either plateau or worse sdtill gain weight!

please if you're going to do the TF diet, do it as prescribed for best results, if the salad at luchtime makes you full, skip it, and have your 2nd shake, just be sure to have 3 cups+ vegies for tea or as nibbles in between when you get a hungry spot, it is not compolsory at lunchtime...the fruit also is optional :O)

BeeBee — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 14:08:00 GMT

Just saw a previous post about McDonalds coffee... oooooooooo I missed that soooo much :crying:

I've found an awesome replacement though... I add a teaspoon of low-caffiene coffee to my vanilla or choc shake powder, mix it to a paste with a little warm water, then top it up with boiling/hot water... instant mocha or vanilla latte for brekky... yummo :P

Take two Simply Fibre capsules with it and you're full as a goog :cool:

RE: A Typical Day on TF

**DEE ANGEL** — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 21:31:18 GMT

Just wondering if anyone will be honest with me here...please.....

If we can have a salad for lunch, I don't necessarily feel like a shake as well....Is this program going to work just as well without that 2nd shake???

I always have a shake for breakky and fruit for snacks, vegies and protein for dinner.....

Thanks

Thanks for all your advice.

I started at 81.5kg, now weighing in at 79kg and would like to lose a further 5kg! just to keep me motivated. I am having fun running (on my own, with my Ipod on loud & NO KIDS). lol

Does the Chromium actually work?

mallyflea — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 18:08:50 GMT

You can have your meals in any order during the day, and your's is fine hun XX:hehe:

RE: A Typical Day on TF

Dan1elle — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 14:59:31 GMT

Hiya

I too struggled to start with, as I hardly used to eat before starting TF. I went onto the 2nd serve of protein around week 4 and I struggled to fit that in.

You need the fruit for fibre, and also to keep your blood sugar regular (not spiking). The veges are 3 cups min a day, so any you consume at lunch come out of that allowance. So if you are haing a salad for lunch, then you can eat less for dinner, and that might allow you to fit a fruit in after dinner.

I eat my 2nd protien on it's own. On those days that I am out and add a salad to it, I find it hard to fit in the 2nd shake.

It is always hard int he first week, but it does get easier and your body will adjust.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

RE: A Typical Day on TF

Soozarelli — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 14:50:38 GMT

I am struggling to even eat my fruit serves each day, let alone having a salad for lunch plus a whole 3 cups of veges for dinner. I am tempted to not eat, cos I'm not hungry but Im worried it will be detrimental to my weightloss. I have a hell of a lot to lose, so I am also supposed to be having 2 protein serves per day. I am really hoping that I am only feeling like this because I am just starting out. I know I need to train my metabolism to start working harder - by eating less more often (which is exactly what TFD does)

[quote][b]FIRST STEP (9/01/2009)[/b][hr]Hi there

How long have you been on the program and how much did you have to lose? I do not sleep well and my biggest problem is the 12 at night eating. I am in a habit of going to bed at 2am and getting up at 8am.

Is there somwhere that I can enter my weight and track as I go along. I saw on one of the other members pages they have like a virtual before and after picture, do you now where it can be done.

You can find the Virtual models @ : www.virtualmodel.com . hope this helps, also i think there is a pin-up in one of the sections of the forum with all the cool website and stuff!

DolphinDream — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 10:22:52 GMT

Hi there, First Step,

I do not sleep well either but unlike you if I don't go to sleep until 2am, I am always up at 4.45am in the morning and either going for my walk at 5.30am or hitting the gym at 6am. I consider a good night if I get 4 hours sleep. It's been like that for years and I am a bit sick of it, but I don't have any reason for not sleeping.

Cheers:hehe:

Mandy80 — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 11:43:02 GMT

Thanks again! I think I might start having my protein at lunch to help with the afternoons. First weigh in on Monday, first weekend coming up, hopefully I will be able to stick it out!

RE: A Typical Day on TF

Dan1elle — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 10:44:33 GMT

No, there is no reason to not change them around. I often have omlette (with veges) for a late breakfast on the weekend, then soup and shake for my other two meals. As long as you have the 3 of them, you can do it in any order you like.

Dala Lala — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 10:32:29 GMT

I am really starting to love this program.

I do my shake in the morning and i drink it bit by bit so usually takes about 10 minutes to finish. I feel like i am more satisfied.

I do have a salad at lunch or just cucumber or tomatoes with my shake.

Then i have my dinner and coffee at night. I was very much a night binger now i dont feel like i have too.

RE: A Typical Day on TF

Helen & Ray — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 09:30:55 GMT

Hi Girls,

On most days I would eat at least 8 cups of veges and salad. There is a list of unlimited veges and salad items that are unlimited. You only have to limit your protein to 120g a day that is if your BMI is under 40 otherwise you can have 2x120g serves of protein a day plus your two shakes or soups.

On most days I have a salad or veges with my lunch shake and I have lost lots of weight doing that. Going hungry is bad for your weightloss as the body holds on to fat if it thinks that it is starving. Also your metabolism slows down making weight loss slower.

So, go for it, eat as many veges and salads as you wish as long as the items you choose are from the unlimited list in your TF booklet.

RE: A Typical Day on TF

kuffuffle — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 17:41:37 GMT

Thats a good question. I thought we could only have a shake or soup?? I'll be thrilled with a shake and salad for lunch

shelbs — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 15:19:20 GMT

Hi Malleyflea

just wondering if it makes any difference if you have a salad with lunch shake or not. I would rather just have my veges or salad with my main meal. If I have my allowed quoter at main meal will this make a difference to my results?

Thanks Shelbs
