Also I am always looking for sugggestions too, as right now I feel as if im always hungry and although im sticking to the plan, the food, the protein packs and veges, It feels like my weight is the same... but its only been 4 days... So I am not sure how to really monitor my progress. Good luck! You will do grea t:-)

Welcome Deeps! Don't worry, just do what the plan says and you'll do fine. I lost weight that I had given up all hope of ever losing, so it can be done. If you like the chai tea idea, also try mixing the vanilla pudding or butterscotch pudding with iced chai tea to make a drink - it's great. I get the Stash decaf chai so I can have it at night.
I also found the 4 cups of vegees daunting at first, and can only handle so many raw vegees before my stomach complains, but then I started cooking them first and throwing the soup in for lunch, and it was great. Became my regular lunch. I did a stir-fry with the olive oil for dinner almost every night, and a big salad with those vegees on it, and my meat. It becomes pretty routine, once you figure out your favorite ways to cook things. It is more work, but it will taste much better than any of the packaged junk we used to get at the store.
I just started making the spinach smoothies and lordy are they good...vegees and chocolate....doesn't get any better than that!
Good luck !
Five Fries
I am really picky about pre-packaged food so I am just trying to figure out what I can eat. I have it down to a handful of items so far which is good. There are many that I have not tried yet and some that I had to spit out!! My kids had grilled hamburgers last night and I did the hamburger wrap thing. They wanted fries and I ate 5 of them! It was unbearable. I once could eat anything I ever wanted and have slowly gained 2-3 pounds every year. I never looked at a label. I have started many diets and have never stuck to them. I have made no other mistakes but the five fries and I am starting over today. I need you all for support and am encouraged by your success.
