I started on the yellow menu, I did cheat a little with a bite here or there of non program foods the first couple days, but after the 3rd day I started making a goals to myself to make it through certain parts of the day without cheating. I have always wanted to snack a lot around 4 in the afternoon, and that's when my kids get home from school and eat snack as well, so that has been the toughest part of the day for me, but I am do good at not sneaking bites of their food now. On the yellow menu I would eat pepper jack cheese most of the time for my cheese of choice. Blue menu I ate either orange or cantaloupe for my fruit and then varied b/t the cheese or an egg, I just tried to not have one of those 2 days in a row, I would eat the opposite the following morning. For meats I ate either white fish, not tuna, or chicken for most meals, but I did have steak twice in the 10 days, lots of lettuce, broccoli, zucchini, yellow squash, and asparagus. The veggies have been the toughest for me to eat, I choke them down 1/2 the time. As for when we ate out, the first night I ordered chicken fajitas and ate only some chicken and green peppers, and downed a ton of water after because I could tell there was a lot of salt in the chicken, for the second time I ate broccoli, and a filet, and once again, downed the water before and after b/c of the added sodium.
I am actually hoping for a plateau now, just to make sure that I am losing at a healthy weight, but hopefully it still continues to come off pretty easy.
