Well you can console yourself with the fact that advocado is a definate no no on this diet anyway! Sorry I love it too!
I usually do a day one on day 7 or I have no rice but tuna instead but not the one in oil! I hate brown rice too!!!

Hi Chicas,

I am trying to figure out my menus for the 7 days, of course same ingredients but arranged in a nice and tasty way; I have seen that some pals fail this diet cause at some moment they find the diet boring, but, if we figure how to make the best dishes out of all these ingredients, we can easily make it to the end.

WORKOUT
I will add exercise to my days, I planned to use these Home Video Tapes I have:
DANCING WITH ZUMBA:

TURBO JAM:

THE FIRM:
That's about it for Workout Plan

About My Menus:

FOR MY DAY 1
SOUP + FRUITS


SOUP:
In my soup I use the same ingredients, but just change the onions for green onions, cause it kind of give a chinese soup flavor, which I love, I also use mushrooms and the chicken bouillon or some of the chinese soup powder that comes with these soups type of "maruchan", I have to throw the noodles though but they are really cheap and gives a great chinese flavor to my soup. Yummy!

FRUITS:
I don't know if you guys have the List of Negative Calorie Food, for Fruits, vegetables and Fish? If not here it is...


So, this is the list of fruits allowed in this diet, I got it from the Negative Calorie Diet Book.

As we see we have many options for fruits, I like to add Splenda to my Fruits to make it taste sweeter, Splenda has 0 calories and I feel really good with the sweet flavor of my fruits. Water, Tea and Coffee for beverages, I use Splenda for everything, so I never feel deprived

Ok, girls I am still on my 1st day, let's stay strong. Please share your tips with us so we can have more ideas on how to keep on track and enjoying at the same time of our menus.

Well for those who love lemon (ME!!)... I just add a lot of Lemon to my soup and its Delicious!! Oh and i liquefied my soup so i wont taste the CHUNKs:dry:  But so far its my 2nd day and the soup os pretty good.. Looking forward to the Baked Potato for Dinner!!  Good Luck!

Hi CSD Followers,



I had to start again today, I know but hubby brought greek food and couldn't resist, shame on me . Today I told him that I am doing this diet and beside calling me "Nuts", he says he will support me on this, so here I am starting over but at least now he knows that I am on this and he will support, that will make it easier.


So, again 1st Day and I had:
- Big bowl of fruits (Strawberry + Melon), added cinamon and Splenda
- Big bowl of Soup,
Well I am not "the cheff" so it doesn't have the best flavor but I ate it all, I think this is a big sacrifice when the food doesn't taste nice, but beauty means sacrifice

It's just 1 week, I know I can do this, just need to be strong

How are you doing girls? Hope to hear from you, May God help me to keep on track and then get the results I want.

We will see the reward day a day if we really follow it tight


See you around Guys

Hi Paragon,

It's hard sometimes to make choices with strict diets like this, but perhaps you can get a chicken salad? just leave out the dressing and cheese, I know it doesn't sound so yummy but not bad either. Come one it's just  1 week. I know tomorrow is your 4th day but maybe you can switch your 4th for the 5th day, cause on day 5 you have that, veggies and meat, just switch the days.

PLEASE GUYS LET'S GIVE SUPPORT TO EACH OTHER

Are you exercising? I will do it today, I have been sitting and not moving but today as my name is Charito I will workout, woooo hoooo! can't wait to feel that Endorphin throughout my body jeje

WHERE ARE THE OTHER CABBAGE BUDDIES?
Let's stay focus on this, as well as others we can also do it.

It's OK charito33 I've sussed it now cheers!

Barb

Thanks Barb,

I just did my 1,5h of workout, I did Turbo jam and liked it but then I had to do Zumba


I love to dance, but really looooove, I am a latin soul so I just can't live without it. So Workout is done for today and Food? I am going to grill some veggies now and warm some soup.


I hope I can be proud of myself at the end of this day.


Have a good one Ladies.

Sally,

Wow 23 Lbs off!!!, that's great! You must be very proud of yourself

I also plan to start a new week from monday so we can do it together, how is that?
I had my veggies grilled, Oh my gosh, it was soooo yummy!!! I couldn't believe how good it tasted, I also put some PAM butter flavor spray 0 calories and some ground pepper, it was really good, I think I will use that grill more often jeje.

So, I'm still hanging in there. I also want to lose many pounds, let's say like 30Lbs, my dream weight for my height would be 110Lbs but I have a middle goal of reaching 130 Lbs, now I am 143, so I think if I follow your steps I can be reaching them soon. Thanks for telling me about your great results. Keep it up sweetie

Thanks everyone for your support, I am so touched. I like the idea of swapping days - that makes good sense.

In the end I did take a flask of soup and a bunch of bananas and told everybody it was because I was doing CSD. My friends were really interested and wanted to know more about it. And they were really supportive - we were all helping someone move apartment and once they found out I was trying to lose weight they kept giving me all the heaviest things to carry so I could get some exercise

Sally and Paragon,

I am starting a new thread from tomorrow, today I could not follow it through, was starving until 4pm because I was so busy with the open house and then I went to eat with my parents in law, did I say they are italians abd if I don't eat their food I must be anorexic? they are so nice and I love them a lot but dieting with them? no way.

Girls I am starting a new thread, please join me there. I will put a name that you wont miss

Charito.
