Just finiished day four and it's going great! One of the pitfalls I'd like to share (although it probably only WOULD happen to me) is getting your vegetables right!
Since I have spent the last several years eating junk I'm not exactly a vegetable expert. So, when I went to the produce section looking for the allowed vegetables on IP I had to ask the produce worker if the vegetable in my hand was indeed a Turnip...he said yes it was (even verified with his manager)! The bins they came out of weren't labeled so that's why I had to enquire.
I took those bad boys home and followed a recipe I found on this web-site using sea-salt and they were frikin' DELICIOUS! I thought, man, if that's what I get to eat, NO PROBLEM. I ate them all and asked my husband to buy more TURNIPS for me on the way home.
What he brought me was NOT what I had eaten...I realized I should Google a description of the veggie I had ejoyed and low and behold...it was PARSNIPS! A totally forbidden veggie on day 2 and 3 of my new diet! I didn't know what I was looking for, in the store, and the store guy told me WRONG!
Lesson learned: If you don't know what the vegetable is, exactly, do some research before you buy! You don't want to sabatoge your own diet!
There was really little harm done (I've already lost weight) but now I'm disappointed not to have that little treat (Parsnips) to look forward to.
