Hi Alice, I'm not exactly sure what SNAP stands for, but it's the same thing as the 5 ingredient meals that are listed on the MWL page. I'll see if I can find the link later. It's basically you put in a can of diced tomatoes, a can of beans, some frozen vegetables and spices and have it with a starch and it's a fast meal with not much cooking. I'm trying to get used to eating these so I don't feel so strangely guilty not eating a perfect home-cooked meal and I can stay on this long term. I like to cook but not all the time.
Breakfast: Rice, beans, greens, sweet potatoes, banana, cocoa. I was finally full til lunch
Lunch (late): Rice, chili, greens, sweet potatoes, date
Dinner (late): had 3 peppermint patties at dinner time, couldn't eat til later, next time I could try thawing some edamame. SNAP Indian, orange, small potato
I baked a bunch of potatoes so I'd have more on hand than peppermint patties and it worked so far.
It would be nice to have 10 lbs to lose, hope I get to that point. I think I need to lose about 30.
Here's the SNAP info, it's on the first post of the Maximum Weight Loss October thread:
I use a 16 oz can of tomatoes instead of 28
