2. I am not a big fan of lettuce, could I eat 2 cups of cucumber for lunch and 2 cups of mushroom for supper?
3. Can I eat eggs everyday?
Thanks

I hear you on the WF dressing -yuck -- I have made a personal choice and it has probably stalled my weight loss some (but i am still loosing) to use Newmans Light Italian (it has low fat, very low carbs and no sugar). I knew that since this wasn't 100% IP it would probably affect me some, but I am willing to accept that rather then eat WF. (and since I have been doing this for almost 4 months - I needed to find ways to make this diet work) I also really like plain olive oil and lemon juice over my salads - very light and refreshing.
As for the lettuce - it is unlimited and you really need to eat it - I don't necessarily eat 2 a day but the micro nutrients and the ruffage of salad will help with the big C and will help you get additional vitamins. On the weeks where I skip salads for more then 2 days in a row I don't loose. Feel free to eat cucumbers and mushrooms - those are both IP approved veggies
You can eat eggs every day in place of your meat meal
In the beginning I think it is critical that you follow the plan as close as possible. Once you understand how your body will react and what works then I think you can make some minor modifications -(for instance I eat a hard boiled egg almost everyday around 3 in addition to my 3 packets and my meat meal -- I need the extra protein and fat otherwise I don't loose)
