I didn't see that anywhere either and I did have crystal light yesterday. And in the section with what it says to avoid it's not listed, you'd think it would be if it was bad. But I'm not sure.

OMG I feel for you...that just sounds like torture. I guess that's the best part of FI doing it too...we're eating the same things

I have no idea. I read a lot of things about the sacred heart diet before I decided to do it and I thought I read that somewhere.....But I doubt a little here and there will hurt.

We just finished dinner. I made grilled zucchini and grilled portobello mushrooms with onions. I also made a big salad with avacodo, grape tomatoes and hearts of palm. Put the soup in the blender added some steamed succhini and a can of spinach...wasn't bad, but not something I'd do again or recommend...it was very dark green LOL FI and I both agreed that that would be better in the winter. The spinach made it very harty.

I think I'm going to give this a try starting Monday! I'm a bit worried though... has anyone had *ah hem* diarrea from it? It seems like it would clean out your system!!!

I just had spinach and cherries for desert. I lost 3 lbs but it's so hard...thanks so much ladies for your support !! let's all hang in there :-)

 

I also have been drinking green tea and chamomille at night. It helps me sleep better.

the first day everything I ate went in and pretty quickly came back out again (sorry, I know that's gross!)

but since then it's actually been harder for me to go, which tends to happen when I am on a diet when I'm not eating carbs, like bread, etc... I tend to eat a lot of fiber normally, so this diet has be a little bound up.

but the coffee helps and I also have some tea that helps, I drank some of that last night.


So today I had a banana milk shake for breakfast. It was actually a nice change from the other stuff we've been eating. Although I'm not sure how many banana shakes I really want to drink all day. But I guess I can have soup for lunch and a shake and maybe more soup for dinner. I'll wait and see how hungry I am.

how's everyone else doing?

I haven't had any problems at all. But, then for me I hardly ever go no matter how many veggies or products (benefiber, metamuccil, etc...) I use. I believe Dez921714 (could be wrong) said her FI went 11 times either the 1st or 2nd day. Other than that I haven't heard anyone mention any problems thus far!

okay, I just wanted to say if anyone else has problems going, the tea I drink works VERY well!

 

It's called Yogi Tea "Get Regular" you drink it at night and then in the morning you will need to go. I use two tea bags and let them sit for about 5 minutes or so.

 

Good Luck!

Good Morning Ladies! It's my 3rd day today and I'm a lot better than yesterday which I am very happy about. I'm neither tired or grouchy. I went to the gym and did my weight training (no cardio). I ate a banana and had a protein shake this morning after my workout and I brought watermelon, grapes and 2 bowls of soup to work. I did weigh myself this morning before I woke and I lost 2lbs!! Not much. But, I feel like even if I don't lose what I want (enough to fit my trousers & skirts again) which may be 5-7lbs. I won't be upset. Because knowing that I actually followed the diet and didn't cheat (it was hard the night I made spagehetti for my son and I didn't even taste the sauce) assures me that as long as I put my mind to it I can alleviate the snacks and crap I eat sometimes. Also, I do plan to incorporate the soup into my lifestyle. Because I actually went to the bathroom last and this am (sorry if TMI) which is shocking (I usually go once a week).

 

Have a good day ladies and enjoy your soup! Only a few days left for most!!
