Fiber on the BFC...

Hello Friends,

So yesterday when I signed on here, there was a new format. Or was it here the whole time and I just ignored it? I am not sure that I like it at all. I am a creature of habit, but I am willing to give it a try. It just looks weird to me.

Lately it seems like the viewers on our little bloggin community are dwindling away. Where is everyone? If you are reading, leave a little comment and let us know you are there and who you are. We really appreciate knowing that there are others going through the same thing as us. Support is so important.

Here's what I ate yesterday:
breakfast; 5/1

I love Peanut butter on toast with a little butter underneath, only now I have to eat the low sugar kind - but Oh well. That's also 1/2 avocado and 2 fried eggs. You know that peanut butter commercial stole my idea, see my pic? I have been doing this for years.

I Do believe in eating a good breakfast aand have done this since starting the BFC over 2 years ago. I think it keeps you more satisfied and you will not be tempted to cheat later on in the day. Just make sure to stay under 5/2

lunch; 3/1

This is a zucchini pizza; I sliced lengthwise a small zucchini and grilled it w/Olive oil under the broiler in the toaster oven browned on both sides, then removed and put some pesto sauce, ricotta cheese, mozzerella cheese, and a hotlink cut up.

A spinach salad w/goat cheese and bacon bits and 1 gm of sugar dressing (but I accidentily poured a bit too much)

I was doing so much stuff on the computer and it was kind of rainy but the dogs kept looking at me so we just went around 1 time with sprinkles on our heads.

dinner; 3/0

I made some salmon patties. I used a small can of salmon, added some cut up onion, jalapeno (of course), 1 egg, garlic powder, a spoon of salsa and a bit of feta cheese. It made 2 patties and I fried them in EVOO. This was so good and easy. I ate it with 6 brussel sprouts (which is 2 gms of sugar BTW for 6).

desert was a cup of decaf tea and some RediWhip in a bowl. Later on while I was watching that new scary TV show called The River, it made me hungry (being nervous) so I had 1 lemon and 1 shortbread cookie.

Yesterday someone was asking about Fiber:

That was always a problem for me in the beginning and I tried many things. Now I have no problem going #2, so here's what I do;
I put some Benefiber in my morning coffee.
I think some of the vitamins I take daily help. (the list in near the bottom of my Fave Products page)
I make sure to choose foods that have a better fiber content in them. Look at labels and eat some veggies daily that have a good  content in them.
There is a website called NutritionData.com that is helpful in finding out the nutritional value in foods if you are not sure, and a program I have on my Android phone called Calorie Counter by Fat secret, but always look at the label of your food and brand first.
I make sure to drink lots of water. I do drink my morning coffee maybe 2 cups then usually it's just water all day after that.
Only once in a great while do I have a Zevia or Blue skies soda. Not every day cause some of them have up to 1 serving of carbs. Boy did I ever think I could go with out my diet soda before?? Never - but here I am, pretty much soda-less and feeling great!

I hope that helps (you didn't put your name)

Thanks for listening. Lots of Love to you all.
