Hey there! I am brand new to this site so I don't know that you'll even get this-Liz you are my inspiration- here I'm finding myself disappointed with only dropping 10+ pounds in the last 2 1/2 weeks and feeling like I want to give up already!! I know, pitiful but just am missing bread, cheese and fruit way more than I thought I would. Late afternoons are hardest for me and so I've been eating my bar now with my coffee at that time but when evening comes around and I'm hungry-snack is gone so I've been trying to drink green tea to fill me up. Thanks for sharing your success-makes me smile

9AM--banana pancakes. I still haven't perfected pudding pancakes. Any tips?
12PM--rutabaga fries and steamed broccoli (very chilly here in Wyoming today so used my oven)
3pm--BBQ soy nuts Made protidiet apple cinnamon muffins instead...YUM!!!
6--PM Big Mac in a bowl
9PM--vanilla pudding with root beer stevia made into ice cream

Hey, thank you for reaching out - PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP! Give yourself a REAL chance! You can really do this - there are so many options to fill any void you are finding. There are so many recipes using rhubarb & zucchini that fill your fruit need...you can use the soup & potato puree to make breads, puddings & crispy cereal make excellent waffles, pancakes, muffins...you can even use some veggie cheese sparingly to give a little flavor to some foods (IP Pizza, IP Lasagna, etc). I honestly, never felt deprived on my 22 weeks of Phase 1 - but it does take some effort to do the research, find the recipe, and prep the food - but once you've gotten it down a few times, it gets easier and easier!

I do most of my posting on 3FC - but I tried to capture my favorite recipes and such in my pitiful 3FC diet blog (REALLY need to update that thing!). I know the recipe threads can be overwhelming, which is one reason I think this thread is my favorite!
