When will Tillamook Fat Free Yogurt Sweetened with Truvia get to Los Angeles?

Now that I am on this diet, I need some fat free and sugar free yogurt, so this new Light Yogurt from Tillamook looks like the perfect solution, if only they would hurry and get it to Los Angeles! They have Tillamook cheese here already!


I know this would be really popular, especially if it tastes good. Damn I want to try it!

On a major diet leading up to heart surgery

So there likely won't be much in the way of updates to this blog for a while.

I have heart surgery coming up and the cardio surgeon has me on a pretty serious diet.

The diet consists of the following:

• Almost no carbs, sugar or fat. Mostly green leafy vegetables (which I can have all I want) like lettuce, spinach and broccoli, with some chicken or fish the size of your palm but half as thick for dinner and half of that for lunch.

• For breakfast an egg white omelet and veggies should be steamed. Also non-fat low or no sugar yogurt is good (though hard for me since I am lactose intolerant, but I am using lactose pills).

• 2 pieces of a fruit a day, can have some berries instead of a piece or fruit.

• 1 handful of nuts in a day.

• Hardboiled egg yolks for snacks a couple of times a day.

Should lose 3 pounds a week, and I basically have been. Maybe a little less, but almost half a pound a day. The problem is that I am hungry all the time!

It also doesn't help that I get off work at 5 PM and my wife gets off at about 8:45 PM, so I am starved by the time she gets home. So I have been having a smoothie with a banana and some berries with protein powder and soy milk, which helps to tide me over, though it means I am having more fruit than I should.

Also been having 25 calorie sugar free popsicles, as I would usually have more fruit, but can't, and need something sweet.

I have already lost about 8 pounds in less than 3 weeks, after losing 5 pounds in 3 months of eating vegan. Amazing how cutting out carbs and sugar does really help.

This diet is torture, but he wants me on it for the rest of my life because of my heart condition and my families histories of heart trouble, but I can cheat a little once I lost all my stomach fat and am around 175 pounds. So 47 more pounds to go. At least losing as much as I have been makes it easier, because I can see the results in the mirror. Doesn't make it easier though, can't wait until my stomach starts shrinking!!!!

Fun, fun, fun!
