I found it best to keep it simple for the first few weeks and then introduce new recipes slowly. Janeva's Phase 1 Cookbook is great but also here on 3Fat Chicks, I found some great recipes - do a search for - Rainbowsmiles - she's put together some fantastic cookbooks. A favourite is a Jicama and bell pepper salad with a lime dressing.
I've been on this diet from the end of July but phased off for a few big celebrations and a trip. Now I'm back on it. I'm down 30 lbs since I started and managed to even lose a little while I was 'celebrating'. My knees have been thanking me and I sleep much better at night.
The best purchase we made is a spiralizer, all our noodles are now zucchini and all our rice is cauliflower rice.
I look forward to rhubarb sweetened with 'Walden Farms' strawberry syrup and jam for my fourth vegetable cup of the day.
Good luck - I'm a bit of a cheater by nature !! but this diet I found to be very easy to follow and maintain.
