  • Oh Petra I understand. I know for me replacing one of my grain with veggies helped to get rid of the plaeau. When I look at your menu I notice there is grain in every meal and snack. If you read the chapter about fighting plateaus it tells you that if in wave 2 you stop loosing, just by removing grain either in your lunch or dinner (find it easier in lunch) it boost your system to loose again. maybe try it?

    today:
    cereal and 0% milk
    Lunch: stir fry form yesterday
    Dinner: Chicken with vegetable and wholewheat noodles.

    Exercise: 45 mins of step
  • Cereal/skim milk
    steak salad
    steamed vegetables with rice
    fruit smoothie
    walked 2 miles
  • Zofia-you are probably right. That will also cut calories. I just don't want to end up feeling even more deprived and miserable. I'm working on it.

    B: omelet with canadian bacon and green onion, english barley bread, reduced sugar strawberry preserves, sugar free latte
    L: wild rice and chicken salad
    S: string cheese, kashi fruit and nut bar

    Plan to get to a yoga class tonight.

    B: I cheated I had butter, 2 slice of toast

    D: Merguez with veggies and a cup of noodles (merguez is full of fat but I actually cooker it with my george foreman grill and then use papertowel to remove the rest of the fat which in the end I am sure is better since it is also a really high in protein sausage.)

  • You are not talking to yourself Petra I've been reading and appreciate your posting your menu. Things you can have on the Sonoma diet look pretty good to me. I have a book on order from Amazon.

    I have a few days left of diet to go meals. I learned I like fish for dinner at least some days. And I am looking forward to doing my own fresh meals.
    I'm also going to treat myself to some new pretty plates>
