In the South Beach Dining Out Guide, the recipe for poached salmon and sunchoke puree was deemed "all phases"! I don't think I've ever had those. Interesting.

Phase ONE. Supposedly. I haven't been so good about sticking to my plan. Maybe I should just plan to be out of Phase 1, because I've done OK sticking to Phase 2 foods. But then maybe that's defeating the point of breaking the cravings (for wheat primarily). I have not yet sorted out what is the right choice for me. My weight is fine but I need to dial it up a notch if I expect to ever lose any more and stop getting all bingey over the whole wheat tortillas :devil:

Um, pretty much the same as the plan for yesterday, since I have all the same stuff:

B - coffee with soy milk. Smoothie with cocoa powder, Greek yogurt, peanut flour, "green" powder
L - Lentil veggie soup. Tomato salad.
S - Romaine lettuce leaves with tuna or salmon salad
S2 - celery with Laughing Cow cheese
D - tofu with broccoli and pea pods (prob. not Phase 1 but oh well) in peanut sauce, over a bed of steamed spinach, MAYBE with shriataki noodles
dessert - chia pudding made with soy milk (I'm going to try adding protein powder, we'll see how that goes)

Emma, thanks for the info. You need to try them, they are slightly sweet and nutty, with an earthy flavor like all tubers have. Really excellent roasted with rosemary and garlic.

What about just cutting the wheat out of your diet and doing the rest phase 2? are you ok with other grains? I'm finding now that I'm doing Phase 1 that I'm having a hard time planning foods - what would be a quick orange or something as a snack is now an intense study of the fridge. I'm so used to phase 2! My black bean/pico/avocado lunch is pretty darn tasty, though :)

CRAVING something sweet. I guess this is when I should distract myself until the cravings pass. Eventually they stop coming around.
