New and I have a few questions (x-post)...

[getridofbelly]

I am a WW lifetime member but I'm currently stuck in a funk and want to mix things up a bit. I still have about 5-7 lbs that I would like to lose and hope this might help with that as well.

So my questions are:

1. We don't eat pork products - can I exchange Turkey bacon for the Canadian bacon?

2. Can I drink caffeinated coffee?

3. I can't stand sugar substitutes - how do the desserts taste if I don't use any?

4. Can I substitute eggwhites for the eggsubstitute?

5. I work out a lot - can I eat more on the days (4-5/week) when I work out?

6. How much could I lose during the 2 weeks even though I don't have that much to lose? I'll be happy with anything .

Thank you!
Debbie

Of course. You can even eat turkey sausage once a week.

2. Can I drink caffeinated coffee?

The recommendation is 1 to 2 cups per day.

3. I can't stand sugar substitutes - how do the desserts taste if I don't use any?

That I wouldn't know because I've never tried them without sweetener. If you can go without sweetener I applaude you.

4. Can I substitute eggwhites for the eggsubstitute?

Of course. But I just would like to point out that you don't have to only eat Egg Beaters or the whiltes. We can have the yolks, too. It's just a matter of preference. Eggs are not limited unless your doctor tells you to limit them.

5. I work out a lot - can I eat more on the days (4-5/week) when I work out?

Sure, and I would suspect that you'd be hungrier on those days. Start off with the portion guidelines, but if you're still hungry when finished then eat some more.

6. How much could I lose during the 2 weeks even though I don't have that much to lose? I'll be happy with anything.

That's hard to say. I think that I'm just going to let someone else answer this one. But, weight loss is slower when you have so little to lose.

Welcome to South Beach! I wish you much success on your weight loss journey.
