Hi everyone.
I have convinced H to join me on my weightless journey. I have hit the forties and nothing is helping. So I have bought a body trim book. Alas it only has recipes for phase 2.

I imagine PO is just as it says...
My challenge will be touring and staying on task. I am a performer.

I look forward to feeling motivated.

Welcome Susie J

You don't see many phase 1 recipes because it's pretty much just protein, have you seen the Bodytrim threads?

I believe you're allowed to have a little condiment with your protein to help get it down, it should be mentioned in the Bodytrim in a nutshell thread?

Some people liked to use the oopsie rolls and cream cheese muffins recipe for protein only. They do have cream cheese but most people did fine with them and the extra fat probably helped IMO

Good luck

Meatballs are yummy. Next month I will make some for the freezer I think.

Gavin1972 · Mar 1st 2015, 3:09pm

Yeah agreed meatballs are yummy.

I do that myself LisaJean make a few different variations and then freeze them for meals / snacks.

SusieJ - Good luck with the Bodytrim I found same not much for phase 1 but as mentioned phase 1 is protein only.

A typical protein only day for myself was below

B - 1 egg + 1 egg white scrambled with 1 - 2 x rashers of rindless bacon
S - 50 - 100g homemade chicken meatballs
L - Roast chicken skin off (I would buy one cooked from supermarket)
S - 50 - 100g homemade veal & pork meatballs
D - 150g of lamb backstrap (would marinate to add some flavour)
S - 1 hard boiled egg mashed with tsp curry powder & a tsp cream cheese

Wow Gavin you are doing well. Thanks for the info.
Meatballs look good, eggs are boiled and deli meats are portioned out. We are ready to go!

Hi Suzie J,
Welcome and good luck

SusieJ · Mar 16th 2015, 7:54am

This is a bit tough! I am following to the letter but not losing much at all. I will be increasing my water this week and will see if this helps. Initially I lost 2 kilos but have now put 1 back on.

I have just read more on the forum and I am not alone in sow weight loss. I am alone in the amount of water I drink . 2L. So I really really need to up it!

Sherrie · Mar 16th 2015, 8:21am

Suzie, it might be a good idea to start a diary and jot down your meals.

Do you weigh on the morning of your free days? After the free days your weight will temporarily go up for a few days from water retention.

SusieJ · Mar 16th 2015, 8:38am

Ah Ha! That makes sense then. I had a free day Saturday and weighed this morning. So I need more water , to weigh in on the morning of my free day , and I will start to keep a diary. Thanks Sherrie. Your forum is fabulous!

Sherrie · Mar 16th 2015, 10:46am

Your welcome Suzie

Even though I have never done Bodytrim, when I was stalled on the last few kgs I used refeeds to help me which are essentially like a free day but bigger so I have lots of experience with the water gain
