3 stagnant days(cheating never pays...darn that Halloween) but...Okay... I am back down to 179.5 today AND lost another 1.25 inches since last measurements. YEAH! Movement somewhere is always good. I incorporated exercise this morning so we will see how that pans out on tomorrow. The exercise will continue all week (10 minutes a day).
I've been doing some research on my Ezekiell tortillas. I saw them on an HCG Vegan Protocal list. The great news is that the Ezekiel tortillas are not too bad a choice. They are made of spouted grains, lentils, barley, etc...turns out these ingredients are what you call resistant starches. They are digested slower than regular starches and and cause a slower and lower rise in blood sugar. They actually act more like a fiber. THERE IS A CATCH: The resistant starch is created when the cooked food is cooled to room temperature or chilled in a fridge...if you heat it back up...you loose your resistant starch and it comes off the okay list and transforms into fat deposited somewhere on your body... (Prevention magazine article)
We will continue to see...

We all slip from time to time, you just have to keep going. You did great! Thanks for the lesson on Ezekiell tortillas. I was thinking of going to Whole Foods this Sat to look for them. The pizza you made sounded good. AR
ReplyDeleteDo you think that maybe it's the almond cheese and the chocolate slowing you down? I've been pretty stagnant in the weight-loss department, too, though I'm further in than you. Maybe it's the extra carbs in those things that has you stalled? In any case, hang in there! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is probably the almond cheese as it has casein in it. Also, the little Halloween treats did not do my body well over the weekend. But I am back on track finally. Did an apple day to reset things a bit.
ReplyDeleteThat's some great info! And the weight is back down- YAY!
ReplyDeleteGreat losing!
