Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum, but I've looked to it for some answers over the last couple weeks.
I just finished phase 1 and have started reintroducing the forbidden foods today. I have to tell you, a bowl of oatmeal has never tasted so good!
I was having serious trouble with my energy levels at the end. I've been working out a lot and I don't think the grain/fruit free thing was helping me in that area!! I did drop about 7 or 8 lbs though!! yay!
Here's my question. How many servings of grains/fruit are we supposed to start with? I feel like the book doesn't really say. And, I can't follow the meal plans... requires too many ingredients per week!
I had a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast along with some nuts and a handful of blueberries. Then, I had some pummelo for mid morning snack (again, tasted soooooo good). I was thinking maybe that's all I should have for the day, unless I decide to have an apple with some pb for a snack this afternoon.
Anyway, what is the best way, do you think, to play with numbers of servings at the beginning?
