Getting tired of pork and brocolli... Still 100% faithful after 5 days. Mostly my sugar-free Jell-o flavored nonfat yogurt in the morning (I like the raspberry the best), tuna or salmon salad for lunch, and either grilled pork chops or pork roast nearly every night...that's what I get for shopping at Costco! We'll mix in some chicken and beef next week. I need side dishes that aren't vegetables. I've been snacking, mostly in the afternoon, on mixed nuts, but realize that I need to cut back to no more than a 1/4 cup per day, which is only about 1 handful (I've been eating at least twice that). My wife made a batch of the riccotta cheese chocolate desert from the book which was not bad. I bet topped with some of the raspberry yogurt and frozen it make a great desert. We need to try that. For those of you reading, this is my first time on any kind of diet and I'm having fun with it so far. My goal is to change my eating habits for the better, not just a quick fix. Most habits can be changed after 21 days of new behavior. Web sites like this help me validate my resolve, and putting it out there for everyone to see holds me accountable, even if it's just to my own integrity. Thank you to you my dieting, life-bettering comrads who offer your quick notes of support. They are very helpful, and I support you in return. Cheers!
