Almost feels like using a "convenience product" doesn't it! :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-22960751161339674922014-08-27T01:11:42.280-04:002014-08-27T01:11:42.280-04:00Hi GGC,

I baked half of the dough and put the rest in the fridge for later in the week, per your suggestion.

In the beginning, I didn't eat mor...Hi Jackie,<br /><br />In the beginning, I didn't eat more than a square of 70% chocolate a day. I gradually moved up to 85% and now I eat Endangered Species 88% most of the time. I try to make the 3-ounce bar last for 5 days. Most of the time it does. I actually took a break for a bit and stopped eating chocolate. But these days I do eat it. The bar I eat says it has "2 servings"...but I try to make it last for "5 servings". It's probably better that you are eating yours with nuts because it cuts the amount of chocolate/sugar you eat without having to cut back on the amount. Give yourself a little time...it becomes easier as your appetite gradually reduces. I ate more cheese and nuts in the beginning too -- and didn't focus as neurotically on the carbs...but instead no grains, wheat, sugars, etc. Keeping my fingers crossed for you...I know you will do fine. :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316245779890747698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-65183167481564232202014-08-16T18:37:56.594-04:002014-08-16T18:37:56.594-04:00Thank you so much for your response, Gourmet Girl...Thank you so much for your response, Gourmet Girl! Your site has been immensely helpful and I'm so grateful you're sharing your great recipes with us. I really have noticed a difference in so far as my appetite decreasing, and my husband has in his appetite as well (although not as much because he is still doing oats for breakfast). I think I've planned bigger amounts/more food than I need to, as I have a lot of leftovers when in the past that wouldn't have been in the case if I made the same amounts of food with grains in it... So our eyes and minds arestill adjusting to whatwe actually need to feel full/satisfied. I also feel better....I have ulcerative colitis and my stomach has been doing much better already 90 percent of the time. I haven't started counting carbs yet and I think that maybe that will help. Do you generally eat the 2 to 4 squares of dark chocolate allowed daily? I have been with nuts in it. Also we've been eating a decent amount of cheese. ..I know it's not supposed to matter. ..Jackie :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04609510155148674237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-43121004515503210222014-08-15T22:12:32.338-04:002014-08-15T22:12:32.338-04:00Hi Jackie,

My weight loss began fairly early on and I lost the majority of my weight in the first 6 months. Everyone loses differently so don't get discouraged. If your weight loss doesn't pick up a bit in the next few weeks, I'd first look to see how many "net carbs" (carbs minus fiber) you are having. I try to stay around 50 net carbs. Have you noticed any decrease in appetite yet? Some people take a few weeks to adjust. I wish you the best of luck with this plan and hope your weight loss kicks in soon because I know how much that helps motivate you. Let me know if you need any help figuring anything out...I've been following this for a little over 2 years now.

Thanks for sharing! ! I've been loving your website as I'm now almost 2 weeks on the Wheat Belly plan. I also made your cheddar broccoli impossible pie the other night and have been loving it. I saw that you've had significant weight loss on the WB plan also. .. How long did it take before you began to lose? I have about 100 pounds to lose and have been surprised because I've only lost about one pound in the 2 wks. ..Jackie :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04609510155148674237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-26212466180502607902014-08-10T23:24:24.860-04:002014-08-10T23:24:24.860-04:00Hi Shannon,

I have Splenda here at the house, and wondered if that would work.. Also in other recipes you have called for powdered sweetener, and also wondered how I could powder that..
