What are you doing Monday the 6th? I'm starting the 17 Day Diet over! Wanna come?

YES, You CAN celebrate St. Patrick's Day! Even though this is a Cycle 3 recipe having it once on any Cycle you're on would still be a better option than going all out at the local pub! So, enjoy, a bowl, or maybe two. FREEZE the rest until you're on Cycle 3 or maintenance.

Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup
Cycle 3*
Serves 5

Ingredients:

2 tsp olive oil
2 leeks, chopped (whites and light green only)
2 cloves garlic
3 medium carrots, chopped
1 yellow pepper, chopped
1 lb lean corned beef brisket (yields 9 oz cooked)
6 cups of water
2 bay leaves
1/4 cup chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
1 small head cabbage, cored and chopped
1 large potato, peeled and cubed
fresh pepper to taste

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium low heat. Add leeks and sauté until soft, about 4-5 minutes; add garlic, carrots and yellow pepper and sauté about 2-3 minutes.

Add corned beef, peppercorns or seasoning packet that comes with the corned beef, bay leaves, parsley and water; cover and bring to a boil. Simmer covered on low heat for 3 hours, until the meat becomes tender.

Remove the corned beef, set it on a cutting board and shred with a fork. Return it to the pot then add the cabbage and potatoes, taste for salt and pepper and adjust as needed. Cook until the potatoes and cabbage are tender, about 45 more minutes.

*I put this in Cycle 3 because corned beef and/or brisket have a lot of fat but this is still a preferred version to the "normal" corned beef and cabbage dish. To use in lower Cycles make sure you TRIM all the fat you possibly can off...

NOTE: The sodium in this recipe is high because of the corned beef. I find some brands are saltier than others. If you have high blood pressure or need to watch your salt intake carefully what you could do is cook the corned beef first, then toss the water and make the soup with a low sodium broth. Otherwise, you could just use brisket and add your own peppercorns. In either case remember if you weigh yourself the next day the scale will likely go up but it's water retention from the salt in the corn beef. Drink plenty of water the following days and you'll be fine.

COOKBOOKS CAN BE FOUND HERE:

http://www.tksinclair.com/products.html

Between the three books there are over 1,000 recipes! Most here on this Facebook site have purchased them and I'm sure would be happy to tell you how much they love them! They have a search feature so it's easy to find what you need. Recipes are also listed by Cycles - all Cycle 1's are of course good for Cycles 1, 2 3 and 4, all Cycle 2's are good for Cycles 2, 3 and 4 and so on. I review all the recipes carefully to meet the cycles. I know there are recipes on line too but I'm shocked to read how many recipes are listed for Cycle 1 for instance that to NOT comply with the diet so you really have to be careful with what you make UNLESS you follow the cookbook!

I was on the Dr.'s show as a participant on the diet and started writing the blog in early December 2010. It became very popular and as people began to create recipes they would get lost all over the place. We couldn't find what we needed, when we needed it! So they suggested I do the cookbooks - it's been a blessing really! I'm VERY proud of all the books and my husband and I put a lot of hard work into them.

See you then...and there.....

17 DAY DIET For cookbook information please write me at:

[email protected]

BE PREPARED! So if you're starting in on Monday with the 20 lbs in 8 weeks program what should you be doing to prepare? Don't start off by skipping steps thinking "I just want the weight loss part, I'm not going to do all this other stuff" cause without all this other "stuff" the chances of you losing as much weight dwindle with every step you skip!

Make sure you have three things before Monday.

FIRST: You must decide now on at LEAST 2 exercise options. Walking is fine but what if it's raining? Then what? Or, do you plan to use your treadmill cause it's too cold outside? Well, what happens if you just have an exhausted day? You just can't hit the treadmill, then what? Plan now for your backup. I would suggest yoga or a stretch tape as a great alternative. Don't pick two exercises that are require the same energy level. You want at least two or more exercise options that vary in energy level, vary in where you can do them, vary in when you can do them, etc. THIS IS IMPORTANT! If you can't afford a DVD there are options I will post later.

SECOND: This weekend make sure you have a couple of things prepared that will allow you to have a quick meal or snack within minutes! Maybe this weekend make a soup and a Crockpot recipe. I will have the ingredients for Turkey Tacos (In the Cookbooks look for Terri's Turkey Tacos) all cut up and in individual containers and I'll do this Sunday Night. Enough to last 3-4 days in the fridge. I also will make either a soup or Crockpot recipe (or both) and freeze in individual containers for quick meals, snacks, etc. My other emergency food is the "Mock French Toast" for Cycle 1. It's quick and SWEET and I can eat it in the evening...my WEAKEST time! I know myself and I KNOW that having something sweet to eat is going to be crucial to my success so there’s no sense avoiding it or waiting until I’m in crisis mode to address it. The time to prepare is NOW!

I will also cook 3 or 4 chicken breasts. I'm not sure how I'll use them but you can always add additional protein to any meal (keeps you fuller, longer) or just eat the chicken breast if you're starving! Add to salads, soups, take for lunch, add to breakfast, etc. Or if you're inspired, make a whole chicken (GREAT, easy recipes in Cookbook 4) and just leave it in the fridge with a "HANDS OFF FAMILY" sign on it!

Think now! What are YOUR weakest times? What do you crave? When do you crave it? Decide now what the plan is when that time comes. Don't wait until the moment and THEN decide. That's just begging for trouble.

THIRD (and MOST IMPORTANT): We prepare for food emergencies right? Not allowing ourselves to get too hungry. Having food prepared we can eat all the time. But we don't prepare emotionally...for instance what to do in an emotional crisis. If we've spent 10-20 years reaching for food during an emotional crisis - just saying you're going on a diet is not going to work should that emotional crisis come up.

You need to have a plan for that too. So, it's 11:00 PM and you're lonely, bored, sad, depressed, etc. and usually you eat right? I mean it feels good immediately. No doubt about it. Okay, so now what are you going to do? You have to have a plan.

Your plan might be:

Okay, before I eat anything "bad" or cheat I'm going to force myself to:

First eat something I "CAN" have like a chicken breast (even if that's the LAST thing you FEEL like eating...that's what is in the plan) Then you know whatever your craving afterwards has nothing to do with HUNGER right? It's emotional.

Next, maybe you'd put, "I'll take a hot bath or shower"

I'll call a friend.

I'll do 50 sit ups. (or 100)

I'll go for a walk or use a treadmill if you have one.

I'll write for 20 minutes in my journal, what I'm feeling and why.

I'll read a chapter in my book.

I'll listen to music for 20 minutes.

Whatever your plan is and then and only then, after you've completed your "Emotional Plan" would you eat that 'thing" you thought you wanted. I will tell you, 9 times out of 10 you'll be over it.

The ONLY thing you have to commit to is - I will do these things before I eat out of stress. Make your plan, sign it and keep it with your before photo. You see changing our eating is only a small part of this. Changing our THINKING - our behaviors...well, that's where the real life long changes begin. And it is not going to happen naturally. Not when you've spent a good portion of your life perfecting poor eating.

It will not change on its own. That's like saying "I'm going to lose weight" I'm not going to change my eating but I'll lose weight just by saying it. We know that's not going to work so why would your behavior change without a plan?

Have you ever heard the expression “You are what you eat?” This is a question that could be answered literally – our bodies are created by what foods we put in it. But it could also be answered emotionally. We ARE what we eat. Not just physically but mentally and emotionally.

PS Yes it would help to have the cookbooks but of course it's not necessary to lose weight - it just makes it easier and you will eat a lot better. Also, more importantly, you need to work now to find food you will eat forever. This is not about using the cookbooks for 8 weeks and then they are not useful. You need to use them FOREVER if you want to maintain your weight loss!

You can get the cookbooks by following the links here: http://tksinclair.com

http://tksinclair.com/

AND, it's not as hard as you think! With support and eating the right foods, getting a little exercise, you can finally go from "I need to lose weight" to "I can't believe I lost so much weight".

Is it easy? No. Is it worth it? YES. What are you waiting for?
