    instead of lettuce, I serve it on two cups of shredded green cabbage.

    It's cabbage season here - and I was given three heads of it. So I've baked one head so I can freeze some - but ground beef and some baked cabbage with some of the WF tomato basil dressing reminds me of cabbage rolls (suppose those who do cauliflower rice could throw that in too :-) - I have not ventured that far yet.

    I'll have to add miracle rice to mine next time!

    Iceberg lettuce is the only 'free' lettuce. If you use romaine, spinach, or any other lettuces, they count toward your 2 cups of veggies. Like the idea of using some shredded cabbage in the mix too. Thanks for the idea wonder cat!

    My VIP & I love this dish! We both said it is a 'keeper'!

    Are you sure about romaine lettuce? I've never heard that and I'm on my 24th week.

    My coach said iceburg and romaine. I wonder why there are such discrepancies between coaches? I'm glad she said this b/c I rarely eat iceburg. There really isn't much nutritional punch in iceburg so I usually only eat it when there is no other alternative.

    Same here, my coach said unlimited lettuce, not specifically iceberg. If you look at the "vegetables" list on the official IP Phase 1 handout, it DOES mention arugula, cabbage, collards, cress, watercress, field salad (the "spring mix" salad with other greens besides lettuce), and swiss chard as greens that must count towards your two cups of veggies. Romaine, butter/Boston lettuce and iceberg were all stated to me to be part of the "unlimited" lettuce.

    Welcome I should add that Spinach is considered a veggie, not a lettuce. That was a bummer to me as one of my favorite foods is a spinach salad, but now I just savor when I can have it And for whatever it's worth, I've been eating nothing but Romaine since I started the program and had the 10 pound drop in my first week so it must be working

    I just made this...I have had it before, but with much more thousand island full-fat stuff when I was doing atkins. This tasted SO delicious and dh loved it! We are both stuffed and I couldn't eat all of it.

    I made mine a little differently though:

    5 oz browned ground beef or turkey (measure after cooking)
    1 cup diced dill pickles
    1/4 cup diced onion
    1/4 cup diced tomato
    1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
    2 cups lettuce
    WF Russian dressing

    Not EXACTLY the same as a Big Mac, but I love love love pickles, and the mushrooms added some nice texture.

    My coach said to go for the romaine lettuce, more nutritional punch.
