Well im supposed to be on purple with lites...but my counselor a while back told me to eliminate 1 starch and 1 bar and 1 fruit a day and to add a little more protein in ....i cant decide if i should keep doing this or just do exactly what purple plan is ??? any advice??

thanks JAMIE

What were the two of you trying to accomplish when she suggested you vary from the plan? Had you stopped losing?

she said it might speed things up

I would definitely be following plan. My counselor gets on me whenever I miss food..she said too much of that is going to slow the metabolism down over time. You are on purple for a reason, otherwise they'd move you down.

When I was stuck my counselor took away one of my starches (specifically the evening one), and told me to eliminate it all together. After that I started dropping.

I'm always leary when they take away a lot of food... Starches I can see, but fruits? I'd give it a whirl and see what happens.. If your losses accellerate, then that was probably a good choice. I think, more than anything, your COD is just trying to jump start your WL again..
