Hello everyone and greetings. I am new to the group. Just bough Dr. Ian's book and getting ready to start on February 1. My husband and I are going on a cruise in August and I have six months to make a big difference in my weight. I am excited about Dr. Ian's Fat Smash plan and I think it will work for me. I look forward to meeting new folks and encouring and being encouraged allong this journey.

With just a couple days left to "D" day.... can some of the group give me tips, pointers, etc to start off on a good foot with phase 1? I am a vegetarian so I would love to hear from some of the vegetarian members as well. Thanks!

I haven't started yet, but I've searched a bunch of recipes online, expecially vegitarian ones, and am simply doing a lot of substituting. IE, if it calls for mayo to make a cream sauce, I'll be using a low fat non flavoured yogurt instead. Good luck!
