Hello all! Great job eclaires, it always feels so good when your hard work and devotion pays off! I recently picked up this book, and got around to starting on Monday. I've lost 6 pounds total, which is absolutely amazing! (though I do have quite a bit to lose :/) The first day was more challenging than the second, but I think I'm doing pretty well so far. Vanilla yogurt and Extra Dessert Delights sugar free gum have become gods haha. It's hard to think creatively on this first phase, considering you can't add much to your basic proteins. The best I came up with was scrambled eggs mixed with turkey sausage with a dash of spicy seasoning and pepper. It was really tasty, and quite filling! Thinking about grilling shrimp kebabs for dinner tonight, and trying a variation of the book's "White Sauce" by using fat free vanilla yogurt and adding imitation coconut to go with my shrimp! I'm hoping to stay in Attack mode until Monday, but gosh am I already yearning for those vegetables and the variety they add. So, I wanted to ask if any of you have come up with anything creative for your menus yet? I'm itching for something different!
