I ate some veggies but not any salad with it... am I starting off on a bad foot here? Must you have salad at both lunch and supper? ... I am gonna make a stir fry for supper... and then the jello for a snack..

The way it was explained by my coach was that eating all the veggies was very important because it keeps your gastric processes working correctly, in particular your lower intestine - I think you see where I'm going with this...
As for the salad, I don't eat it every day. Sometimes I'll have it for several meals and then think I'll be ill if I see another piece of lettuce. Rather, I try to sneak it in as a filler here and there. I will put a little mustard on a dill pickle and wrap in in a piece of lettuce for a snack, that kind of thing. Also, I will sometimes make my regular meal at dinner into a large salad that includes my protein. The important thing is the 4 cups of veggies.
