More recipes to come

I have really enjoyed posting and coming up with recipes! I am going to add additional recipes; however I don't have pictures for all. I am going to post them and will add pictures as I can take them. Please keep in mind that there are different protocals for the HCG and I try to specify everything for the plan I am on, just make alterations for your protocol.

I am enjoyed being creative and altering recipes to make a better choice!

Have a great DAY =D

French Onion Soup


2 oz of Filet Migon or London Broil (I had some that was grilled to med rare left over from the other night because more meat than I am allowed)


2 Cups of Water


pinch of sea salt (to taste)


garlic powder


Mrs. Dash


1 Cup of Sliced Onion


1/2 Cup of sliced Mushrooms (can omit if you dont like)


2 Dashes of Woresterchire when sautee onions


I sliced the filet and added to water to make beef broth boiled on high while I sauteed the onions in another skillet after cooking some I added the worsterchire and some water then added the mushrooms. After sauteed I added to the broth and did final tweeks on seasoning to taste.


To complete I took a 1/2 English Muffin topped with 1 1/4 oz of Fat Free Mozzarella and broiled to melt and brown cheese. This is perfect to asborb the juice and yummy melted cheese!

Week 1 Weigh In

Ok....I went to the Dr this am after week 1 Lost 5 lbs, it is going a little slower than last time but I will take it, that is a total of 10 lbs less of me in 12 days total! Woo Hoo!!!!!! I started doing a lower calorie diet a few days before going to get my shots because I still had my diet plan from when I was going before. We are making progress and changing to a healthier lifestyle one day at a time. Even though with this plan you have great results it did not get here overnight nor will leave that way.

Did not get my blood work results because the Dr was out of the office, next week will have them and do measurements they do measurements every two weeks, but I can tell a difference in some of my clothes and my face! =-)

Time to get on with my Day!!!

Then at end add fresh minced garlic. Set to side.



Saute chicken in same pan, then add veggies back with 1/4 cup of Ragu Lite Sauce (tomato, basil) and stir in 1/2 cup whole wheat pasta. Sometimes I add a small amount of water to help mix better.


Serve with 3/4 cup of steamed green beans and you have a complete meal!

Make the broth with Water, Applecider vinegar, garlic, onion, cheyenne pepper, sea salt and tomatoes. While coming together saute chicken then add to broth. Then I give the cabbage a quick saute until tender and add to broth and chicken to all blend together.


Makes 1 serving to equal 1 Protein, 1 Vegetable.
To have for a Dinner you would have to add a complex carbohydrate, have not tried but could add 1/2 cup brown rice or whole wheat pasta , or Melba Toast for complete meal.

Alterations: I have fixed without the chicken at lunch and had melba toast with it! Then it is 1 Vegetable and 1 Complex Carb if you have the melba toast.

Introduction

Well last year in July 2008 I tried this diet and with thing way beyond my control, everything from some financial reasons to having back surgery in Decemeber, I am totally committed to making this a successful journey.

I went back on my diet Oct 17, 2009 unfortunately this was the highest weight I had been. I returned to Transformations and began on my shots October 21, 2009. I have been able to do well with the very low calorie diet and injections. I do not think my first week is as well as last time, but I have lost everyday. I will post my weightloss and inches weekly as I return to the doctor.

I have even tried to start a walking program. Since my back surgery exercise has been very little the last year. I walked this past week in my hilly subdivision and made it 1 3/4 mile in 30 minutes.

I am really motivated and want to share my journey to motivate others!
