Yep, I gained about a pound since my last weigh in at Dr. Lehman's. And I am delighted! It wasn't due to more fat, but - gasp! - muscle! All that walking is paying off.
But I have a long way to go, beginning with sticking to the original game plan. Eating a primarily vegan diet (I refuse, at least for the moment, to get twisted about eating foods with eggs in it) is a start. No butter, precious little margarine, no cheese. Pretty simple to know if I am staying on track - if it crosses my lips, I'm not.
And no alcohol or carbonated beverages. Figure out how to sautee foods without using any oils. No fried foods, including tortilla chips. No purchased salads - almost keeled over reading the ingredients label on deli potato salad from GIANT. Make social spreads using Tofutti cream cheese.
Don't do any of these things from a gotta mentality, but because they are the right things to do. Look for more builds!!
