Hi, this is my first post and second day using IP. This is very unlike me to put myself out there. Looking for folks who are working with this program. Lunch seems to be the issue for me at this time. ideas?
Yesterday I ate 2 C of greens and a chocolate shake (not loving it). I am struggling with all of the artificial sweetener taste. Not giving up!

Welcome VayVay! I try to keep up on this forum, this is my second time on IP (it's been 7 years and 2 kids since the first time) - the first 2 weeks can be rough, especially with figuring out how to eat So. Many. Veggies. I typically eat the soups for lunch and add cooked veggies - my favorite so far is celery with the Chicken Pottage, I've also added mushrooms to the Mushroom Soup, broccoli to the Chicken soup, etc. I also will roast veggies with 1-2 cloves garlic, puree them together and add them to the soup and I will use chicken stock instead of water (adds negligible calories that is about 5 cal of all protein, but check your brand).
I actually use the Vanilla RTD as the creamer in my coffee in the mornings.
Snack I will microwave riced cauliflower, and add cinnamon and the vanilla pudding for "rice pudding"
There are some recipe threads - I'll look for the one I did so many years ago!

Found It!

LizRR,
I'm going to have try that rice pudding recipe. Looks delicious! Question: Aren't you really hungry between breakfast and lunch?

Hi Vay Vay
I cook up my two cups of vegetables for lunch the next day when I am cooking dinner. Some things that have been working for me are steamed broccoli, sauteed asparagus and bell peppers. I also really like sauteed cabbage for that crunch. It has definitely been a lifestyle change to pack my lunch everyday but I'm getting used to it now, 2 weeks in.

I don't really get hungry in the mornings, never have - although before it was because I was a late snacker (which is a habit I've kicked!) - I typically drink a lot of water which helps curb my appetite. Knowing myself I try to skew my meals to be later in the day (because of the snacking penchant)

Anyone around?

Today I ate Tomato ricotta salad
delicious!)
