Questions & Answers: Day 3

Hello Friends!

Are you doing the 5DPT this week? Lots of people are taking control of their weight loss surgery tool and you can do it too! Here are some Questions & Answers from this week's email bag - take a look:

Question: Just wondering if refried beans okay for day 3?
Kaye Says: You can have refried beans on Day 3. They are low glycemic (GI 38) and protein dense. Be sure and measure your portion; no more than 1/2 cup. You get 8 grams of protein in 1/2 cup so try to include another protein source such as an egg for 7 more grams of protein. In fact a great breakfast would be 1/2 cup refried beans with 1 egg (any style) and a spoonful of salsa. Yummy.

Question: I am thinking about having Wendy's chili... think that is OK???
Kaye Says: Wendy's chili would be an OK choice for Day 3. The 8 ounce serving is 210 calories and 15 grams protein, 7 grams fat and 21 grams carbohydrate. Again, the carbs are low glycemic so they should not raise your blood glucose causing more carb cravings.
