Update on my THRIVE Diet

 Update on my THRIVE Diet

I am finally home from New York State and getting caught up with my normal routines.  I thought I would update you how my trip went and how I am doing on my THRIVE Diet plan.   We arrived in Newark, NJ just after Hurricane Sandy and spent 3 weeks in New York State.  Returning home was a trial but I made it.

I found that eating without thinking about the THRIVE plan wasn’t all that difficult.  I found I migrated towards high protein meals and didn’t seem to miss the carbs or even crave them when I thought about what I could get.   I must confess I did have a NY Bagel with Cream Cheese and it was like eating a dessert!  I did have a pumpkin custard shake and some fresh apple cider.   But other than those indulgences, I didn’t try to eat the THRIVE way and just took a break while in New York and had a great time.   I didn’t gain a pound!   It was a thrill to maintain my 23# weight loss!  This is my 2nd vacation from eating the THRIVE way and I have maintained my weight each time with no weight gain and not feeling deprived!   Trust me, I ate!

And I learned Indian Cooking in Brooklyn!  Watch for my upcoming post on Indian Cooking with Chef extraordinaire Ms.Julie Sahni.

I am now back into the high protein, low carbohydrate swing of eating and I hope to lose 15 more pounds by mid January.  I will keep you posted.   I don’t think I could maintain this type of eating style without the vegan protein powder I am using which is Life’s Basics Plant Protein Mix, Unsweetened, Natural Vanilla Flavor made by LifeTime.    I just love it!  With 22 Grams of protein and only 6 Grams of Carbohydrates I can vary my drinks by mixing in fruits or flavored extracts that  I love and still keep the ratio of protein higher than carbs!  I still eat one normal protein meal and 2 large low carb veggie meals a day with no cravings.   If you would like to try this protein powder please use the link I provide here:
