Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 It is a beautiful book!! I love seeing the finished product next to the recipe. I wish he had made everything 1 portion. Also don't like the term midmeals. I feel all meals are equal. I'll explain the brand names in another post later in the week. Dani > > I just got my copy of EFL!!!

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 That's a good point to look at. Personally I try (not always successfully <G>) to stick to the original list in the book. I'm a little fanatical too in that I try not to eat more than 1 serving of WW bread/pasta 3 times a week because for ME I do not seem to do as well. But during PMS week, I give myself more leeway. I guess what I'm saying is that it is a personal decision. The better choices you can make, the more progress you will see. Bill also uses string cheese in the EFL book but in BFL says cheese is not a great source of protein. I would use the recipes with food in question, sparingly and not on a daily basis myself.

My husband is not changing the way he eats. He goes strictly by the BFL book. His point is that Bill Philips started eating this way after he lost the weight. Has anyone out there had good results with eating the way described in the book? Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
