Here is my menu for today, October 1. I'm beginning Phase 1.

B) Zucchini frittata, 1 c unsweetened soymilk w/coffee, 6 oz V-8 juice, 2 Morningstar sausage patties (non-meat)

S) 1 Wedge of Laughing Cow lite cheese with celery
Dannon plain yogurt

L) Combo of black beans, celery, tomato, onion, bals.vingr & 1 tsp olive oil

D) Mahi Mahi and grilled or oven roasted veggies - lots!

S) vanilla ricotta as per the book

and at least 2 litres of water!

beachgal: this could be a P1 b'fast too, right?

"1 Morningstar Tomato Basil Pizza Burger with 1 slice of 2% cheese
1/2 a red bell pepper with 2 Tbsp of roasted red pepper hummus
8oz glass of FF organic milk"

Sounds yummy!! I don't lose if I eat the mock french toast all the time and get sick of eggs but this is a good reminder that we don't have to always eat traditional b'fast foods. Here's my sample menu P1 menu:

B'fast
1 serving canadian bacon, cooked and topped with:
-several handfuls of baby spinach sauteed @ 3 min
-2 eggs-over easy (fried with cooking spray only)
-a dollop of the mock hollendaise sauce from the book

Lunch:
chicken salad from the book (made with ff sour cream and pickles..yummy)
cucumber slices
celery slices
grape tomatoes

Dinner:
Souffle Stuffed Chicken ( I use less "souffle" than is called for cause it has sugar in it)
steamed broccoli
smashed cauliflower

Snacks: don't really eat snacks but when I do it's a cheese stick or a slice of 2% cheddar with turkey breast lunchmeat rolled up inside...quick and easy

Dessert: Cocoa-nut caramel ricotta (tomorrow night I'm trying beachgal's hot cocoa recipe..it's been nice and cool here and nights..perfect for some hot cocoa :) )

Breakfast:
Scrambled Mexi-Eggs
1/2 Cub Southwestern Egg Beaters
2 Morning Star Sausages chopped
Sprinkle of 2% Cheddar
(combine all and scramble)

Snack:
3 pieces celery with Laughing Cow Wedge and bottle of SOBE LEAN (YUM)

Lunch:
Chicken Breast (usually pulled from a recipe in the book*)
Veggies

Both Balsamic Chicken (P151) and Savory Chicken Saute (P153) are good.

Snack:
Broth and Cheese Stick or
Cup of Cabbage Soup

Dinner:
Big Crazy Salad with Avocado, Turkey and Cheese along with VEGGIES:) I've been using Walden farms sugar free dressings.

or

Taco Bake (great SBD Recipe from the forum)

or

Grilled Fish with Sauteed Radishes (another great forum recipe)

Dinner Snack:
Chocolate Milkshake (I Really could have one of these every day)

or Peanut Butter Cup - although, I could see how these would be a dangerous food for me - They are really delicious and I'm not sure I can stick with just the 2 TBSP of PB :)

<Note> If I'm hungry (which doesn't happen often on this plan) - I eat 10 almonds or a serving of the roasted chickpeas - These are close enough to a (GASP) carb for me and satisfy my munching needs:)

Unfortunately, I don't think so, Pear. :( It has wheat and flour in it, so I wouldn't chance it with P1. It makes a great breakfast in P2, though...every time I would make it at work, tons of people would pile into my office and demand to know what I was making. It smells so good, and it actually tastes as good as it smells! ;)

Thinking outside the box for breakfast is a great idea, whether you hate eggs, like me, or are just tired of them. There are tons of great suggestions in a thread just on different breakfast ideas in the FAQ.

Today's my first day onPhase I so.......
B. Omelet made with 1 egg, 2 whites, fat free cheese slice, 1 oz. ham and peppers and zucchini. Yummy! I'll be back to edit in lunch and dinner.
