OMG!
I am SOooooooooooooo amazed! Yesterday was day 14 of Phase 2 in Round 1 for me. Total loss of 12.5 lbs I've been eating chicken for 14 days (I've never been a "fish" person, but the flounder I tried gagged me) so I decided to "celebrate" by having beef for dinner. (I know I have to change my mindset and not reward myself with food) I saved my protein from lunch - had both grains with my veggy - and had 6 oz of FILET MIGNON for a scrumptious dinner. (Because I was shopping without the list of appropriate cuts of meat so I compromised by reducing the total weight by one oz.) It was so incredibly yummy. I figured I'd have a 0lbs LOSS DAY today. This morning I was DOWN A WHOLE LB!! Yaaaaaaaaay!! Woo Hoo!!! |

Congratulations Driver Mama.
I am just a few days in front of you and I'm also a bit tired of eating chicken every day. I'm going to follow your lead and have a filet mignon tomorrow. Maybe I can lose a whole LB too. I have only lost one whole LB twice so far - usually I lose between .4 and .6 LB a day. I've lost 14LB in 19 days, so less than you. You're doing great! |

So I got the filet mignon at Costco
and, you know, you don't just buy one filet there. Which means that I had more and I had another scrumptious serving last night. The only negative is: of the $22 package half was fat I can't eat but hubby is in heaven! I am adding beef as a part of my regular menu because this morning I had LOST 1.5 lbs! Yay! I think I've found my groove: those foods that work best for this old body on this protocol. |

Thanks Krzz for the info,
http://www.utahbeef.org/Nutrition.htm America's favorite beef cuts are leaner than ever before. Now 29 cuts of beef meet government guidelines for lean*. And the 12 leanest cuts have on average, only one more gram of saturated fat than a skinless chicken breast (per 3-ounce serving). Lean Beef vs. Chicken Cut of Meat Saturated Fat Total Fat Skinless Chicken Breast 0.9 g 3.0 g Eye Round Roast/Steak 1.4 g 4.0 g Sirloin Tip Side Steak 1.6 g 4.1 g Top Round Roast/Steak 1.6 g 4.6 g Bottom Round Roast/Steak 1.7 g 4.9 g Top Sirloin Steak 1.9 g 4.9 g Brisket, Flat Half 1.9 g 5.1 g 95% Lean Ground Beef 2.4 g 5.1 g Round Tip Roast/Steak 1.9 g 5.3 g Round Steak 1.9 g 5.3 g Shank Crosscuts 1.9 g 5.4 g Chuck Shoulder Pot Roast 1.8 g 5.7 g Sirloin Tip Center Roast/Steak 2.1 g 5.8 g Chuck Shoulder Steak 1.9 g 6.0 g Bottom Round (Western Griller) Steak 2.2 g 6.0 g Top Loin (strip) Steak 2.3 g 6.0 g Shoulder Petite Tender & Medallions 2.4 g 6.1 g Flank Steak 2.6 g 6.3 g Shoulder Center (Ranch) Steak 2.4 g 6.5 g Tri-Tip Roast/Steak 2.6 g 7.1 g Tenderloin Roast/Steak 2.7 g 7.1 g T-bone Steak 3.0 g 8.2 g Skinless Chicken Thigh 2.6 g 9.2 g These 29 beef cuts all easily fit within a balanced diet that includes less than 65 total fat grams each day * Less than 10 grams of total fat, 4.5 grams or less of saturated fat, and less than 95 milligrams of cholesterol per 3-ounce serving and per 100 grams Today's cattle are much leaner, and the fat is trimmed from cuts before it reaches your home. As a result, beef is 20 percent leaner than the USDA indicated just 14 years ago. But the real news is that you can control the leanness of your beef by taking a few simple steps: • Choose the leanest cuts by looking for LOIN or ROUND in the name. • Buy beef that's 90% lean or higher. • Trim away any visible outside fat before cooking. • Use low-fat cooking methods such as broiling, roasting, or grilling. • Eat reasonable portion sizes. One serving of beef is the size of a deck of cards. |

Mikkydee, Sorry for not replying before.
I was cooking the dinner and enjoying my steak and tomatoes. It was sooooo delicious (but far too small). There are a few canaries about but they are all in cages in peoples' houses!! The Canary Islands were named after the wild dogs (latin - "canis") that were found here when the Spanish Conquistadores arrived in the 15th Century. The Canary Islands are the European version of the Caribbean. We live from tourism, tomatoes and bananas. Warm all the year round, we have a subtropical climate but without the hurricanes. No poisonous snakes or insects and we're far enough from the mainland of Europe to feel different. Spanish is the local language but English is also widely spoken. |
