You don't have to follow the meal plans that are listed in the book. Just eat food from the "allowed" list and you'll do fine. I think the meal plans are there just to give you an idea of what a good breakfast, lunch, dinner would look like.

Hi Ivy,

I am new to the diet

also and also have about 15 pounds to lose.  I find that the last 20 pounds are

always the hardest to get off.    I am on day 8 and have lost a little over 6

pounds.  I haven’t incorporated exercise into my days yet because I

really haven’t been feeling very “strong” lately.  I have had

many of the “detox” type symptoms like the naseau and the fatigue. 

I have been following

the diet with no cheating.  I don’t eat all the recipes that they suggest

in the book.  I take the list of acceptable foods and make my meals from that. 

I did make the ricotta crème desserts, which we love and a couple of others.  I

am looking forward to making some “healthy eating” buddies…..

Hi, I'm new to the group. I've had the book for two

months now...

finally today I started the diet. I did well - I

adjusted the menu

to fit what I had in the kitchen, switching day

3's breakfast to,

today... is that okay to do? couple of

questions:

I have about 10 lbs to loose. I gained weight back

after I stopped

nursing my last child. Are there any other folks

that needed to

loose about 10 or so pounds? And, can we switch

the food around like

I did today? Switching one day's lunch for

another? Plus, I don't

eat fish or read meat, so hopefully subsituting

turkey or chicken

will do? Thanks, and I'm hoping for a

good day tomorrow.

Welcome, Ivy!!

I have to lose a *whole lot* more than you. I don't follow the exact meal plans

at all in the book, or many of the recipes. I have the approved food list, and

decide what to eat from there. I actually did Phase 1 for 18 days, and lost 14

pounds total during that time. But, I need to lose around 100 pounds total.

I get most of my recipes from other websites. I find many of the recipes in the

actual book to be more complicated, and they have ingredients that I don't

already have. I like simple ones!

As long as you are getting what you need daily (and not having too much of

something)... you can make up your own daily plan. That might make it easier

than trying to duplicate each day in the book. But, some people like the

structure of following the exact meals in the book. They are there as an

example of what to eat.

Good luck!
