After grappling with sticker shock at my local clinic (and the only one close enough to get to without major travel hassles) - I bit the bullet and jumped on board.
I sort of half-started yesterday - as my consultation appt was late in the day. Had the salt and vinegar crisps as a pre-dinner snack - and I could happily live on those three days a week!
Took my vitamins and a dose of cod liver oil (icK!) - and made a stir fry with chicken, portobello mushrooms and green onions, that was amazing.
Today is my first full day on IP - and we have friends coming in for a board game day. Which usually means lots of wine, cheese and crackers - so it will be a test of my will power.
A good thing - because if I can get through a day like today without slipping - the rest will be golden.
I have a first early weigh-in on Tuesday - so not quite a full week. I'm hoping to see a little progress, but not expecting much so soon.
Also - my clinic had Chef Verati's phase 1 cookbook, which I bought. (A bit $$ though). I had seen in on the internet and passed because of the cost, but flipping through it at the clinic sold me on it.
I am so glad that I bought it. (Last night's stir fry came from the book). It has a ton of great recipes in it, and each makes 4 servings so good for a family as well.
Though - many of them call for Walden Farms items, but I think you could leave those out and get close to the same taste.
