It's the dreaded, I just had a baby and now I am 25lbs overweight blog post. As a nursing mom I have to be careful not to drop the weight too fast, so I don't affect my milk supply. But to add insult to injury, I have to get measured for a bridesmaids dress next week.
Those of you who know me, know that when I try to loose weight it's all about the Fiber. Fiber is King in my book. The American Dietetic association recommends 25 - 35 grams a day. So this week I started a food diary. I am keeping track of grams of fiber. Yesterday was a pretty fibrous day.
Just for fun I am going to share with you my fiber intake food log from yesterday. Don't judge!
1 cup coffee with creamer - 0
1 cup frozen blackberries - 3
2 trader Joe's multi grain pancakes - 2
3 fresh apricots - 2.5
1 yogurt - 0
1 turkey sandwich (oroweat double fiber bread) - 13
1 fiber bar - 9
1 cup pinto beans - 14
1 chicken breast - 0
1/2 artichoke (no butter) - 1.5
1 Heineken light - 0
1 skinny cow ice cream bar - 3
That was 48 grams of fiber in one day. By the way, my stomach is fine.
Here is a little gem of info, one large artichoke has 30 calories and 3 grams of fiber!

OOOO... I love the artichoke info. I was just wondering about the calories in those things. They are on sale at the store so we have been eating a lot of them lately. Love the chokes because they take for ever to eat and you feel some what full at the end.
