For the sleevers , is it okay to have a stuff potato ?



Recommended Posts

You really need protein' date=' not all the carbs that come in a potato. Just my opinion. You can.....but I wouldn't.[/quote']

Oh okay great , I had a potato and a piece of salmon. So I guess I won't have it again but I'm unsure what to eat , maybe veggies and fish ?

I think it's OK to have potato every once in awhile- like as a side dish- I mean, if you eat your Protein first, you won't have much room but for a couple small bites of your potato, probably, which should not derail you.

Eat the salmon first, finish up with the potato... Protein first, then carbs. I'm guessing you're not having a baked potato at every meal, so I think if that's what you're wanting, have it once in a while and enjoy it. Of course, I'm not even on solid foods yet, so there are way more people with more experience. However, the protein first, then carbs, makes sense to me.

If you don't have a NUT or an eating plan, then a good general rule of thumb is....it's okay to have those kinds of foods so long as you're getting in at least 60 grams of Protein and 64 ounces of Water. If you still have room after all that, then yes a starch won't kill you. But if you're not getting that water and protein then seriously consider not using valuable sleeve space on starches. That's my approach anyway. The protein and water are just too important.

For lunch today I had a 3 oz piece of meat loaf made with ground turkey, 1/4 cup of green Beans and 1/4 cup of scalloped potatoes. I ate the meat loaf and green Beans and only 2-3 bites of potatoes. Focus on the Protein and non-starchy green beans, let the potatoes/rice/bread/etc be something you have a few bites of and be done. If you're not a person who can do that, then stay away from them.

Just my $.02

I want to figure out If its okay to have a bake potato . Help

How far out are you? I am 2 yrs 7 months, and I'll eat half of a small baked potato or less.....occasionally. A little butter, use Greek yogurt for sour cream and sprinkle a little 2% cheddar in. Eat your Protein, the potato is a side and a treat! :)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
