Here is his menu for the past week! This includes eating out on the weekend which is often normal for us as we are on the go. I'm not trying to show you a copy of what you should do, but just to keep accountable and to let you see that anyone can do it.
SHAN'S FIRST WEEK ON THM.
Wednesday, June 1st- Day 1

- Lunch: two burger patties with slivered onion, sugar free ketchup, mayo, mustard. Small side salad with Bolthouse Parmesan dressing and sliced cucumbers. (S)

Way to go, Shan!!
Congrats on no cheats! Just wondering if Shan doesn’t care for dessert, or if you are going cold turkey until the sugar detox is done? Desserts were a big part of me being able to stick to the plan. Great job!
You got it! He doesn’t like sweets very much! I did make him some berries and whipped cream last night though. He does seem to like that.
Just wondering if the Aldi Flax Wraps are ok for an S meal. I’ve been using the Mission Low Carb but need to make a special trip to Walart for them!
Yes..should work fine. They have 9 carbs for a wrap so be cautious in what you put into it. Meats, veggies, etc. 🙂
Note: They do like store bought bread items to be like 6 net carbs. So…half is no problem at all. The hubs uses the whole thing.
Way to go! My hubby has been on plan with me since Feb. 1. He is down almost 30 pounds. Keep up the great work!
Way to go! Are you not doing stevia for him? I read a post about your reactions to stevia. My husband is usually very lean but he has recently developed a belly and he has a horrible sweet tooth. He can’t do the on plan sweetners due to allergies. I have been doing thm for 2 1\2 years so it would be nice if I could find a way to break the sugar cycle in our house.
He is doing the stevia, but doesn’t love sweets so not too much. I took a break from it for two weeks but nothing happened. 🙁 Have you tried Just Like Sugar?
Woohoo! Way to go! Sounds like a great menu, too, thanks for sharing!
My husband started Sunday. I think he will be very encouraged to read your husband’s story and know that other men are doing THM too. Thank you for sharing!
I’m glad he started too! I think it’s more fun to do this journey together.
Thanks for sharing the menu! My husband and I are beginners and it gets over whelming and this helps!!
Welcome to THM! Glad this helps. 🙂
What is the name of the sprouted bread that can be found at Aldis?
The names seem to change a lot!! Look at the first ingredient and make sure it’s Sprouted wheat flour. Simply Nature is the brand. There are often 2 or 3 varieties. “Knock Your Sprouts Off” is one of them. They are usually together in the same row. 🙂
My hubby joined me about two months ago. He has not cheated once and has lost 34 pounds 😊 I am so very proud of him. We have lots of berries around for snacks and I try to make a cake or some kind of bars for treats. He usually has a Quest bar once a day too. It’s obviously working for him. We love Trim Healthy Mama and are so grateful for your recipes and help Jennifer!
Wow, three meals with no snacks. Very inspiration.
He ate so well at his meals that he wasn’t really hungry.
