Thanks for the info Debbie. Doesn't sound too bad. No condiments for 2 days would be tough for me. I don't keep track of them, but I know I go over most days.

That sounds do-able. Like Deb, I'm not sure I could go without condiments, but the rest sounds good. We tried grilled asparagus this weekend, and it was so delicious!

debbie--so is this just something integrate when you've plateaued or just to do for 3 weeks to change things up for your body?

it sounds do-able..most definitely. i may get sick of egg beaters, but i've done it for 2 days for TO and FF..so i'm sure i can do it again.
thanks for sharing!

Jillian - Yes, this plan is suppose to be used when weight loss slows or plateau's. Some people don't respond well to TO so this is my COD's remedy, from the dietician they say
