I started today and very nervous that I'm going to screw up. I'm a past WW person and know the diet like the back of my hand, hence the lack of weight loss. So with PCOS and Insulin Resistance this is the best choice for me. OK here's my queston....I'm only past breakfast and want to make a salad for lunch. I bought a jar of Italian Antipasto by Mezzetta and want to know if I can have this on phase 1. It is Green Olives, Pepperocini, Red Peppers and Garlic with herbs & Napa Valley Chardonnay. Per serving it's only 25 calories, 2 gms of Fat, 0gms Saturated Fat, 1 gm Total Carb and 0 grams of sugar and 0 grams of fiber. It does contain Canola Oil. I'm starving and would love someone's help here. I want to make lunch. Also, do you have to have a serving of beans everyday? I'm not a beans fan at all and don't know how I'd incorporate it into my diet.

sounds good... veggies are good good fats are good...

as for beans... i'd recommend them. they will help with the 3 day slump..... are you getting your dairy?

[ladybugnessa]

oh wait.... spinach with salsa black beans and laughing cow cheese YUMMMY!

I love to mix black beans with Rotel Mexican. Sometimes I add a little cheese and sometimes some sour cream. Yum!

3 or 4 bean salad is also good!

Today is day 2 for me (been on the beach for years) and I've been eating plain yogurt with Splenda and cinnamon to get my dairy although I will also have a glass of skim milk with SF Da Vinci syrup mixed in later. That is the easiest way for me to get my dairy. If you aren't going to eat beans, you should make sure you get your dairy. You do need enough healthy carbs.

I'm not sure how much Chardonney is in the antipasto but wine should wait until phase 2.
