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.
L. Egg salad on celery, chop-chop salad, yogurt
