Erin---- actually the concept of eating higher carbs for a few days then cutting back isnt weird..lol U R ok. Look at any WOE...if U continue with the same foods and calorie intake your body gets used to it which causes a stall. By shaking it up, U get your metabolism geared up again. As for fiber....I started adding the pure bran flakes to things I eat sometimes...this morning I had oatmeal with bran added. I did buy a fiber supplement said no sugar...but when I looked at it more closely contained sorbitol.. a real no no. LC SPONGE----- daammmmn woman I want to eat din din at your house....sounds yummy!!! and HEATHER---- even days when I high carb..I still dont fall off the wagon. Thats the days I would eat say an apple...oatmeal, ummmm crackers...more veggies. I stay totally away from sugars and refined flours. I still eat a lot of protein and fat on those days. On your cereal maybe have cream instead of milk?
