Also, veggies, sigh. I wish green beans weren't so restricted. I also really miss carrots. Broccoli is my favorite and so is cucumber, but do they cause as much upper GI problems for anyone else? I will be trying some of these recipes for sure.

For all who hate veggies and choke down salads...At some point you need to have a selfie-reality check session...these are foods that must be part of your life forever after. Not negotiable in most cases for someone with a weight issue..
In fact...you need to replace some of the things you used to eat too much of with these choices on going...even after P1-2- and 3. They must be a major piece of P4 maintenance. Or you will gain it all back. These are the good carbs. The ones that will "run your machine" so to speak. When you get to maintenance if you add foods that are high in carbohydrates and more calorie dense, you will gain your weight back...and possibly VERY quickly. You need to assess how carb sensitive you are. Most who are finally able to lose weight on this protocol are very carb sensitive and have to make life long changes.
Your tastes CAN change...and after you rid your body of the effects of carbo-rich foods and meals...take the opportunity to redirect your taste to things that will allow you to eat what you need for nutritional benefits...(OK..some fun stuff...OCCASSIONALLY. Not everyday. Ever again.)....
It all has to start in your head though.... what do you really want? This is real and it may be your only reality when it comes to how you eat in the furture... So while on P-1 &2, you have the chance to reinvent yourself.
Good luck...You can do this...a lot of us have had to do this.
