Lovin' the broth idea and going to try it this weekend. Another easy twist to brown rice is a little low-fat cheddar/mozzerella/mexican for a cheese bake. I mix up the veggies I use (red onions, mushrooms and tomatoes are usually my go-to but experimenting is key -- fyi those fresh mushroom medleys from the market are the cat's pajamas). Drop in some fresh minced garlic and a little hot sauce. I use only a couple tb's of cheese -the flavor and consistency makes it a completely different meal.

That sounds awesome! I want to go home right now and make some!
Oh yeah....my favorite thing from this diet is grilled pineapple chunks. 5 minutes in a frying pan (on the grill now that it's getting warmer ) until brown on each side is amazing. I'll sometimes throw a little cinnamon on them. "Is nice-high 5..." - Borat
I bet with the beef broth it'll be even better! For P3 I just realized with whole wheat wraps there's everything needed for fajitas. Grilled onions and peppers with a little chicken....and I just want to go home.
Sanity, and anyone else, PM me if you want a nice list of ok foods to put on the fridge. My sister sent them to me and they've helped a lot - better than going all over in the book looking for which snacks are ok.
I invented and found so many new recipes... especially stir-frys that don't depend so much on the meat. (I use some canned tomato for the juice instead of butter-garlic sauce lol). We've really been eating so much healthier even though we're almost done.
Eric still has a food diary on Excel- I gave that up a while ago, just eating something every couple hours. Geez we look fat in that picture. I gotta change that soon.
Ginaneric, I am unable to PM yet, I am new to this forum, is there anyway you can send me the list of ok food? Thanks!
ok, here they are, but I see that it's warning me that "links may be removed" so I don't know how long they will stay! I had these on the fridge
... ok, I need 2 more posts before I can post links so here's one.
These lists are not all-inclusive, but the snacks and such are pulled out of the back of the book and put with the rest of the stuff. I think she did a pretty good job.
List of foods for phase two.
