Breakfast
2 scrambled eggs or an omelete fried with onions, very little oil
Mid morning snack
Laughing cow light cheese and celery (if you wish)
Lunch
Chicken or Steak Salad and sugarless Jello
Mid noon snack
15 almonds or cashews or 30 pistachios
Dinner
Grilled or Chicken or Steak
Skimmed Mozarella string cheese
That’s how my menu looks like everyday for the past 8 days. Today’s my 12th day of phase one. Like I told 2 of the GI Janes here, I have lost 9.5 lbs as of Thursday.
I guess everything has been so far so good eh? Its all self control, yoga-like concentration from bad food. Why did I mention yoga-like? Because I love food and I admit that most of the ‘junk in my trunk’ was due to the uncontrollable compulsive sweet tooth of mine who loves to devour cookies, Krispie Kreme donuts, See’s candies and whatever sweet goodness I could find here in California. And don’t forget my beloved mommy who did not have to twist our arm to make us eat her oh so delicious food!
YES...YES…YES…I miss them good food. People around me laugh when they see me counting the pistachios to 30 and the almonds to 15…they say that I was nuts. The kids laugh at me when they see me snack on Laughing Cow Light Cheese. They said,’There she goes with her diet again. How long are you going to be like this ibu?’. My response, ‘2 more weeks, babe’. Maybe I guess they have lost their ‘all you can eat’ kind of mother.
Mentally, it has disciplined me. To check on every packaging of foods for sugar. To know which food I have to avoid for the first 14 days and then reintroduce the fruits (that I can’t wait!) and good carbs until I reach my weight goal.
Again, I repeat, my weight goal is not ala Cindy Crawford or Pamela Anderson Lee of below 100 lbs, but enough to make me feel fit and not as bulky. To those who are concerned if I am obsessed with this diet, don’t worry, I am on track, I am eating as I am supposed to and I am not starving myself, I promise.
To my rah rah supporter, my dearest Karmaalmitra aka Intan, again like I said, if not cos of you, memang lah benda nih suma tak jadi. You changed my mind from backing out of this diet and your support will always be greatly appreciated. That’s one thing that I love about you. Endless support!!!!!!!!
And to other GI Janes, don’t diet unless you’re ready. If you want to try my style, get the book and let’s get going babes!
ps When you are having that ‘time of the month’ don’t you just feel that you’re 10 lbs heavier?

awww ely, like i always tell you. This is your mountain that you have conquered. It's ALL YOU, baby!
Good Job! Another 2 weeks another 10 lbs huh?
GREAT JOB Ely!! If i means counting peanuts, then count em by all means!! *doing mexican wave for you now*!!
You'll be my source of inspiration when I start this! ;)
intan, like i told u, must have a rah rah cheerleader mah! i might continue phase one for another 2 weeks and see how much i can lose. i had to turn down a pizza resturant dinner date with the family cos i cant eat nothing there!
mammal, i will be rah rah ing for u when u start it!
Ely my mentor, I've got the book...the rest I'll tell you later... :)
go kak ely go! ... im the pompom girl kt tepi padang. :P
ely, r u sure it is alright for the chemical balance in your body to go on the no carb no sugar diet for more than 2 weeks?
i think you should reintroduce a little bit of sugar just like the book suggests. unless your doctor says it's ok?
u can always go back to the first two week plan after u get ur blood sugars up a little huh? i dunno...i am sure u know what u r doing huh twin?
i'm going to check out the book soon. wish me luck!
woooo hoooooo tety g sister. call me when u get the chance. i'll send u the SBD karma.
nad my dear, thank you hehehe.keep cheering ok!
intan, i think u cant go more than 4 weeks. but if u do atkins diet, no carbs for the rest of ur life. i cant do that lah.
Congrats Kak Ely.......gd job, keep it up!
Wow, 9.5lbs in 8 days! That's great! Congrats!!! :) Keep it going, Ely!
I hope you'll find your energy too. I suppose u will. Also on my prev comment, does the diet coat your tongue too? I notice when I have too much protein, it gives me bad breath... *LOL* even my tongue scraper doesn't help. Oh well, as long as the weight goes off. Smint will combat the breath :D
thanks anita, i am trying to keep it up!
hartini, so far i have not noticed it yet. i eat cheese almost 2 times a day so have not experienced anything yet. but dont worry, i have mint gum and min itself to help me when i need it.
jeles, dengki, dan yg sewaktu dgn nya
juz an opinion, the anti pregnancy pills do add kilos on the consumer.
after i ditch the pills i been having a hard time shedding kilos not till 2 yrs after.
neways, keep up with your dieting regime...u go gurl
ailin, what r u waiting for? come lah join me!
tenah, dont jeles, bawak bertenang. i am sure when i balik US after ur vacation, u can try the diet too. plus ur workout, fooyuh, mesti boleh jadi mcm model!
anonymous, depending on what kind of birth control pills u're using. not all pills pack the pounds on u. u just need a good Dr to verify your weight and what kind of pills are good for u. the pill that i am taking, they're very good, i lost 25 lbs 2 yrs ago and the pill didnt seem to get in the way. and no, i have not gained my 25lbs back!
sheer determination you have *in yoda's voice*...i couldnt resist those good food.........
