Phase 2 Melba Toast

The dough is thick and using a fork to spread it will allow you to get a nice 1/8 inch thickness consistency for your toast!

Melba toast with toffee Capella (peanut butter is great too!) n stevia for flavoring. Using 1cup all natural whole red wheat flour and 3/4 c water I made the dough, yes rather thick however this will help you in spreading it out. I add the stevia and Capella to a tbs of water added once the dough has been mixed. Using a fork, spread the dough on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, covering the entire cookie sheet with dough. Once this is accomplished, pop the dough in the oven at 385 for 20 min. Remove and flip the dough sheet  over on the parchment paper, grab the pizza cutter and make yourself  little squares of heavenly toast! Return the toast pieces to the oven to reach desired 'crunch' I like mine a tad bit chewey... like a jerky. I make about 80 little bites which allows me to enjoy 8 a day at 6 calories a piece! Have fun with the flavors and enjoy...

Day 8 VLCD

Early rise today, I have a doctors appointment, and a fasting blood draw, ugh... Weigh in is 169.5, not too surprised at the small number since I did have an extra piece of coconut oil chocolate, commonly known as CD. I also enjoyed a tsp of peanut butter! For those that know me well, I have a love of Adams all natural and when Tom is in town it's nearly unbearable! After my appointment it's a run to Costco, love the lettuce and apples there. Sadly the drive home was nearly 4pm and I still needed to stop for coconut oil and radishes! Ripping open the bag holding three glorious heads of lettuce I began to feed. Once home I whipped up a bed of lettuce, topped with a portion of cottage cheese (from skim milk) and sliced strawberries on top... simply delightful way to fill my self of loving losses. This is when I once again am reminded of the need to always prepare for the next day with a back up of chicken. I had none ready to eat nor to cook, merely four breasts ready to be trimmed and weighed. Hunger won out with time on it's side and I went with the cottage cheese... now I will have to wait another week for the cheesecake. The breasts are weighed and cooked and second meal of the night enjoyed at a little after 9, leaving plenty of time to blog and relax before my bath, then off to read a new book and dream of tomorrow! I learned today that a dear friend will be joining me on this journey next week so I will be doing a catered lunch, so many wonderful choices for the menu... suggestions? Sweet dreams and happy releases!
