To those who are being discouraging to Rainbow,
She always makes a point for you to ask your coaches about certain ingredients that may not be phase 1. Most are easily modifiable if you choose to forgoe those additions. You are responsible for yourselves and how you choose to follow the protocol.
For me, her recipes (organized nicely by Molly who also deserves credit) have helped me tremendously! I have tried things I never thought to make and have had plenty of recipes to keep me inspired. They have allowed me to still enjoy food, but in a far more responsible way. I have had the best luck tweaking her recipes for my family. Otherwise, I would still be cooking three separate meals for dinner. I don't even look at the recipe handout from my center, it doesn't come close to being as creative and delicious as Rainbow's creations!
If you don't like the recipes she has worked hard to create and been kind enough to share...move on! In the meantime, I'm team Rainbow!
