Just another day or two left in hubby's blue bottle of supplements until we start phase 3 & 4. He is now under 230# with total loss from being on Nutrimost at about 45#. Phase 3 is the "making sure all the supplements are out of your system" which only lasts 3 days...then it's Phase 4 where breakfast is reintroduced, we can mix veggies (something we really missed) and we can have same fruit or veggies in one day.
In Phase 4 we still won't be eating the bad carbs but oh we can start eating some of the recipes we love.... I miss my mixed roasted veggies! We're also starting to plan and think out some of the differences we want to incorporate into the meals later. We've been doing some research on different flours which there are so many out there now and they all do it a little differently. Some can be used just like typical flour but others need more liquid or less liquid....the trade off though is in the carbs. I'm not going to swear off of breads, pastas, pizza for life but if I want some I'm going to make dang sure it's as healthy as I can get it.
Oh and that pizza? That is the ONLY item that hubby and I both miss. It is one of the things we would always make at least one night when our grandson comes over and stays overnight....and it really is the one thing we want again. So my challenge will be to figure out a really good thin crust pizza dough without having so many bad carbs as typical flour. I've tried a couple of the cauliflower pizza crusts and I have not been impressed....don't get me wrong, they are okay but fall far short of what I was hoping for with texture and taste. Good thing I like challenges....!
