Tori,  I want to add posts to my journal, I am not sure how to do it.  It looks like I need to start new everyday.  Can you assist me.

I have been on LDL for about two weeks. I am loving it. I was so happy to find away to cut out sugar and cravings with out going stark raving hungry. I knew if I did go hungry I would eventually gain back all I have lost plus more. Thank you Roger for sharing this information with all of us. Being a diabetic I realized I would have to moderate my fruit but It is still working. I look forward to every meal. My cravings only come when I am not strictly on track. I love corn and peas

• Break: sugar free cereal, soy milk

Lunch: chicken tenders pan fried w/o oil, peas and corn, spinich, salad. I love reading all your great stuff.

I am on my second day... Breakfast - Big slice of Watermelon and a plum
                                  Lunch - 1 rotisserie chicken breast w/0 skin
                                              3 bean salad with juice drained
                                              2 ears of corn on the cob, raw (I like it this way)
I went shopping and got hungry, so I bought some Dried Mango slices, no sugar, no sulfur, called Just Mangoes, and ate 4 slices to curb my hunger while driving... they did the trick.  Then I drank a huge bottle of water.

Tori,

How do you link to recipes that you use?

Tori:

Can you help?  I'm finding that if I type in a reply box more than the space visible, the whole thing jumps about and doesn't want me to see the bottom part, because it can't scroll down.  Any ideas as to what to do please?

I started my day with bout 5 scrambled eggs (only ate half) and an apple, some coffee and lots of water i have another half hour to go until lunch where ill be having 6 ingredent chili does this sound bout right? this is the first time that i havent been hungry midmorning....normally when ihad breakfast before i was always hungry bout an hour or so later so i snacked on what i could find...i hope im on the right path here i plan on getting more fruits AND veggies later when i get off

Today was my first day on LDL.  I got the book on Friday and read...Yesterday, I went shopping and bought what I needed to comply with the diet.  I feel a little apprehensive...there's a lot of food!  I guess it's okay, one of my defeats in past diets has been hunger!

Breakfast: 2 corn thins with cherry all-fruit
              10 HUGE grapes
              a small apple   
              a large coffee with creamer

Lunch:  LDL burger ( YUM - delicious!!)
          ketchup
          3 bean salad
          10 or 12 HUGE seedless grapes
          water

Dinner:  The plan is:
            Spaghetti Squash
            Fat free spaghetti sauce
            sprinkle of romano cheese
            frozen grapes
            water   
                   

   

In the beginning, you can eat all those food, as often as you like, eat, and eat, and eat until you find you can't eat that way anymore...

It WILL happen.

You are supposed to eat all LDL foods with abandaon in the beginning... this is very, very important to train your body to crave the lovely foods on the plan.

It's great that you have broken them up in breakfast, lunch and dinner... but you don't have to be stringent in the beginning.

Just eat!

Liz, Welcome.  There is absolutely no hunger with this (woe) way of eating.  Just remember to eat all you want.  I couldn't believe that I could eat all the fruit, beans, corn, peas that I wanted and lose.  I did, and after 4 months, I'm at ww goal, but plan to let my body choose where to stop.  It is slowing down.  Don't count those grapes, eat them by the bowl.    Joyful Friend

Hi All,

My book has arrived.  What a read..........Need to read 3 times at least as RTW keeps saying.

Seriously, I am so pleased.  I have spent the weekend reading the book.  I am onto my 2nd reading..... I have not weighed myself but I think my clothes are better fitting.  Fab website.  Will come back for updates.

Good for you Scotsgal!  Looking forward to getting to know you!  You'll love the plan and sounds like you are already having success!

Can someome tell me how to post a link in my food journal to a recipe I've used from the boards?  I know that it is helpful to me whenever I see a link to a great recipe, but I haven't figured out how to do it myself.  Thanks.

Blessings,
Sylvia

I just go to the address at the top of the screen and copy it and then paste it in my post.

Thanks, Rhonda.  I'll try that.

Trying to get started. I will have to reread the book to make sure I am doing this right. Tired of being this big!

Welcome ilovemy1966mustang,

Being sick of being the size you have become is just the incentive you need to make this happen for you. It does work, but it is not a quick weight loss plan, it is however a healthy way to eat and weight loss is a side effect. Those who have lost a tremendous amount of weight in the begining soon slow to to a healthy 1-2 lbs per week, and the losses will be as consistent as you are. I know exactly how you feel. I have been there and now my motto is, "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels". I still have alot to loose but getting 42 lbs off and dropping 2 clothes sizes has really made it worth it all. I am here for life. Hope you are too.

I lovem66m, as Linda and Ollie told you, this is a woe for  weight  loss for life.  I have been on it for over a year, and I love it.  Reread the book, and EAT, Eat, Eat  LDL foods.  The weight and inches  will be gone forever.    JF

Welcome to the best way of eating EVER.  I too have been eating the healthy LDL way for over a year (am at goal) and can attest that being able to eat, eat, eat until full does work.  It's a hard concept to wrap your head around because other "diets" don't encourage it.  LDL is not a "diet", but as one of our other members reminds us, LDL is a "Livet" way of eating. Too many new members try to use LDL the way they are used to doing on other eating plans and fail because they don't eat enough to keep from being hungry.  On LDL, the more you eat, the more you lose.  Sounds like something too good to be true, but it works!

I didn't have a lot of weight to lose, but dropped three dress sizes before my body said it was happy at the weight I currently am today.  You will find success on LDL and all of us on the boards will help you out in any way we can; all you have to do is enjoy every bite of fantastic LDL recipes you find on the boards or in your LDL book and you will be on your way to a slimmer, healthier new you  ...
