If your results have slowed or stalled this is the place to come for advice for all your fat loss needs.
Congrats, Shari, on the loss this week!! That's phenomenal! You're pictures are great. Your foodlog looks good, too. Quick question. You had 1 serving Shari's pumpkin loaf with 50g protein. What is that? Do you have a recipe? Thanks!!
Here's my yummy food for today. It's a Chicken Prosciutto Turnover in wine sauce with brown rice, steamed snap peas, and grape tomatoes on the side. I even have a banana for dessert!
This is my lunch portion. I've figured out that I do much better eating about 1/4 of OBM for breakfast and supper and then about 1/2 for lunch. It seems to be working better for me with most meals.
After doing a split up meal approach one day, I've decided OBM is probably a little easier to manage during the challenge. I'm spending a lot of time on training and I have too little extra time as it is! Making OBM simplifies the whole process.
Recipe for Chicken Prosciutto Mozzarella in Wine Sauce - 2 servings
30g Boar's Head Prosciutto di Parma (2 thin slices)
26g Mozzarella cheese slices (2 slices)
375g boneless skinless chicken breast pounded to 1/4" thickness (2)
10g butter
1 fl.oz dry white wine
2 tsp parsley
Pound each chicken breast until 1/4" thick. Place 15g prosciutto (one thin slice, fat included), 23 g mozzarella slice on each flattened breast and fold in half. Secure with toothpick, if desired. Heat small amount of butter in small non-stick skillet over medium high heat (I used just enough to barely coat the bottom because I was saving the butter for my rice! I suppose you could put all the butter in the pan and then pour the sauce over your rice. Same idea...) Saute chicken 3-4 minutes per side until chicken is barely opaque throughout. Add wine and simmer 5 minutes. (I covered the pan). Remove chicken to plate. Add parsley to wine sauce and simmer to reduce sauce. Pour over chicken. Per serving: 322 calories, 1g carbs, 9g fat, 56g protein
yes i have a recipe let me get it and type it out for ya
1/3 cup egg white
1/2 cup pumpkin
1 and 1/2 scoops vanilla protein powder ( i used pvl white choc bc that is what i have, i have heard there is pumpkin pie pp by ON which would be good too or bsn cinamon roll)
dash of cinnamon, cloves, ginger to taste
2 packets of splenda
1tsp vanilla
350 bake in mini loaf pan for 20 minutes
ok i doubled this recipe and used a regular bread pyrex pan, it needed to cook about 50 minutes and it rises up pretty high but will fall later.
These recipes look yummy.... I've got to go to the grocery store today so I can cook all kinds of stuff tomorrow!
Great job with the 5 pound loss this week Shari... that's awesome! I also lost 5 pounds, for a total of almost 11 since restarting OPT on October 13th! My pics and measurements are on my training log. I LOVE this program.... so why didn't I finish it the first time?? *rolling eyes*
"As far as (healthy) eating, either do it, or don't. Same issues repeated over and over is just insanity. We either commit to the endeavor or pay lip-service to it. This is the hardest part of the whole process, and it needs to be practiced more than the actual physical training. It's mind training." ~ Matt Thorne

Shari,
Congrats on the great weight loss, and to the other losers as well! I'm down 4 pounds myself from Monday end of REPAIR --> refeed.
1. Can you fry these on a non-stick griddle w/out oil? I've never made whey protein powder pancakes before, but will be off dairy for next 2 weeks, and it's a great time to try them. and the pumpkin sounds delish!
GOLDEN PANCAKES from Eating For Life,
Body for Life by Bill Phillips
1 C oats
1 C egg white
1 C cottage cheese (fat free)
2 pkt splenda
1/4 tsp cinnamon (sorry Espi)
1/4 tsp vanilla
dash of salt
Blend. Griddle fry w/out oil
Add blueberries at end if you want (not today, I had a protein shake this am for added protein);
Makes 3 servings, each:
186cal 2g fat; 22g carb 20g protein, plus 1/8C lite maple syrup
This is double the recipe for 6 meals' OBM:
1122 cal; 12g fat, 132g carb 120g protein
Etana if you are off dairy won't you have to be off whey powder?
I make protein pancakes all the time and use PAM type spray, even with nonstick skillet I find they stick a lot.
OK, I had an idea for a new meal and I want your opinions. It's kind of a take off of the Chicken Prosciutto I made today.
I got to thinking about yummy Italian food and then it hit me, why not make a crustless Chicken Calzone. Pound the chicken breast, put mozzarella and turkey pepperoni in it, saute in a pan till golden, add lowfat, low sodium spaghetti sauce, and let simmer for a few minutes. I'd accompany with a simple green salad (org baby red leaf and grape tomatoes spritzed with balsamic vinegar) and brown rice pasta.

OK, be honest. Does that idea sound good or gross? I've learned my lesson on making OBM that I can barely get down... It has to be good to start with or I'm in for a rough day!
Pauline, it sounds really great to me and it's the kind of thing I know I can eat all day. I was thinking something similar and have been looking for Italian-style recipes that I can work into my plan. (I also really wish I could get you to do my meal planning for me--you're great at this!)

Haha, you're so right about a bad meal makes for a long day. I think today might be my day for that. I made a berry protein loaf and it's really good but I'm not sure it's enough to keep me full.
I think that recipe sounds good though.
I can't wait to try some of these other recipes!
I'm craving sushi! Anyone else? I was thinking about eating sushi all day long as my OBM. I just think it's so hard to really be sure you're not overeating. And of course it would be expensive. Any suggestions?
I was also looking for a good filling pizza recipe! I think that would be fun. None of the recipes I have found would be very filling though. Maybe I should save pizza for day 16.
It sounds delicious! Love me some hormel turkey pepperoni!

Julie told me I can have whey for the 2 weeks i'm off dairy ... whew!!
I have the BEST cookware by Analon; it seems to work even better without oil!! as long as I never put it on HIGH burner heat.
Anolon Classic 10-Inch Nonstick French Skillet
Anolon 5 Quart 11-Inch Sauteuse with Glass Lid
Anolon Classic 12-Inch Nonstick Round Griddle
however, this set sticks terribly and I'm returning it:

Hope everyone is having a nice Saturday!

I do all you can eat sushi for my refeed every 15-21 days. i try to eat close to my maintenance calorie level and then have a low cal day with a sharper deficit the next two days.
If its not refeed time, i stick with sashimi and riceless spicy tuna and spicy salmon handrolls.

I'm thinking for the next weeks I'll make 2/3 OBM and 1/3 chicken or some pure protein... so I can make a more carb/fat/vegie OBM, but supplement it with 2 oz of chicken or whatever at each meal.

Good idea Josh. Gosh that sounds good!!!! Something to look forward to I guess. :-)

you are welcome
they are very good!
i bought everything i needed at a local oriental market...the orange roe (sp?) really is needed in my opinion , i also used black toasted sesame seeds on some also...i impressed my husband one night with this...i will say that it takes alot of time and making the sushi rice the right way makes all the difference.
I have also tried yogurt instead of mayo and they were not as good at all.

What nonstick brand do you like for bakeware?
I have not found a non-stick pan that I really like. And I am concerned about the materials used in most non-stick pans. There is supposedly some safer, more enviro friendly cookwares coming out soon.
The best cookware IMO is Le Crueset but it is not nonstick and is quite pricey!

I totally agree on that!
Just chiming in to say that while I can't follow this 30 day because my living situation won't work with the one big meal idea, I am avidly following along and am inspired by how you are all doing with it! Once I finally get into my own kitchen again (am transitory right now) I will DEFINITELY try this if you have all found it a worthwhile experience.
Wow, so many great recipes! I can't wait to make the pumpkin pancakes! I haven't made them in a while, but I used to make protein pancakes with cottage cheese, oatmeal, blueberries, etc.
I had a great week! It was fun making the entire day's meal in the morning and then picking away at it all day.
Haven't seen any real changes in weight or measurements. Maybe lost a pound. 128.5 tonight, but last week's weigh-in was after a massive meal, and I didn't really lose 3 pounds.
Since there wasn't much change, I probably didn't need new pictures, but DH took some for me anyway a little while ago and they are on my blog: Debby’s 30 day F.L.C. - O.B.M. Blog
