[quote=Anonymous]OP,

22:38  Sounds like you're off to a great start!  Some thoughts...

- I found the powder shakes disgusting but if I add water and ice to the pre-mades, it was pretty good!  I know it's tough but I would switch to decaf coffee.  Caffeine is dehydrating and although you can make up for it with more water, that gets tough to do and the side effects of dehydration on a high protein diet are rough.

- The vanilla squares are delicious out of the freezer as it changes up the consistency.  Still eat them almost daily.

- My coach also allows us to trade in food and buy by the piece.  Perhaps yours is not aware of what others are doing?

-  I found that the sweetener type was key.  Can only do Stevia.  All the others stalled me.  I also ended up throwing out the Walden Farms products.  For me, the products stalled my progress.  Ended up using the recipe for blended roasted red peppers as a sauce (found a brand without additives), mixed with horseradish it makes for a great cocktail sauce, and also mustard.  Along with chimichurri, those condiments saw me through phase 1 and 2.  In terms of salad dressings, I got used to oil and lemon/lime juice with sea salt and freshly ground pepper...now I prefer it.

-  The chili is delicious and filling over sliced  cucumbers.

-  The frozen cauliflower rice at Traders Joes continues to be a staple for me.  It only takes a few minutes to microwave.  I was able to eat a lot of "rice" bowls topped with fresh greens and herbs,  shredded chicken, fish or eggs for an easy lunch or dinner.

-  Always carry a bar with you so you're not forced into eating out where they can't accommodate for your diet.[/quote]
