Someone I knew who had her dogs on the Volhard Natural Diet used to cook the grains overnight in a thermos, as this diet calls for a grain meal in the morning and a meat meal at night. I think she said that she measured in the oats (or whatever) and boiling water, then just capped it and it was read...

Mel! You seem to be turning into a double of my little dog... Polyjuice potion, maybe?? :wink: I tried your recipe with regular oatmeal this morning, 1/4 cup as Bright Angel recommended. It came out a little weird, but tasted fine and did hold me for a long time. I used 1/4 c oatmeal 2 Tbs. Healthy ...

You could also try a box of plain mini wheats, and add your own sugar. That way, as Reinhard points out, you know and can see whether the amount you add is excessive or reasonable.

This is what I ate last week, copied from my reply to a "what's for dinner" thread on another board. I ended up adding a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes the next day, because it seemed like a good idea. For this tomato lover, it made it even yummier. -------------------------------------------- I...

Thanks for the encouragement, Sheiler, it is appreciated! I might be poking fun because it seems like my habitcal is going backwards, but no s is the first diet that makes the keep on keepin' on even possible for me. I don't try most of them because I can't make it a day. It's all a mental thing, bu...

Real good, then

I have 5 red days on my April Habitcal --- and 5 GREEN days in May. :roll: Today was a red (Mondays are a day off for me, and have been dreadful, all but one), purely due to lunch-on-the-road panic. Glad that other people have shared their experience with multiple false starts, or that they just tot...

Because "drinking is not snacking," I use drinks as a security blanket. That way I'm not so worried at a meal if it will take me through to the next one. Tea or coffee, if I'm having a craving or habit pangs -- a common thing at "second breakfast" time mid morning; milk or veggie juice to tide me ov...

Re: No sugar clarification

(Is there a number to watch for on labels or do I just stay away from candie, cookies and cakes??) Yup, candy, cookies, cakes -- anything that would be a dessert or sweet snack. The grownup cereals you mentioned would be fine eaten as they traditionally are, with a spoonful of sugar or two. Ex-DH u...

You're manipulating them, but not counting. The difference is, you'll never have to sit at the end of the day trying to guess the calorie count of a meal you were served, or write to a diet message board, "Help, I want to eat lunch, and can't find the calories/points/exchanges (ok, especially points...

Don't stack the food too high or you might as well be eating off a square plate.

Laff, that's what I did on my first N day too! Except it was a lollipop; the restaurant has a basket of small hard candies -- star mints, lollipops -- at the cash register, and I just grabbed one without a single thought in my head. But hey, if the power of habit can work against us that strongly, i...

The magic of Habitcal

From Karen Pryor's Don't Shoot the Dog , written about 20 years ago... "One finding shows, for example, that if you make a chart to keep track of your progress in some self-training program, you will be more likely to maintain new habits if you solidly fill in a little square every day on the chart,...

The first time I tried Fage yogurt, I ate two of them! Plain. Great stuff, fantastic texture. This morning, I had plain yogurt from Aldi's (which ISN'T $1.99 a serving!), with all-fruit jam mixed in, and a 2-oz bagel with light cream cheese. Black coffee, as usual. A little spartan for an s-day mayb...
