So for now I'm roughly following the 3rd phase of the this diet, which is basically a life long commitment to eating healthy. 2-3oz lean protein, 2 c. veggies, 1/4 c of starch. I have some of the starchy carbs, but just not processed. I figure that I will allow myself the time to adjust into eating a normal healthy diet before diving into the more restrictions of Phase 1 & 2. Usually yogurt smoothies begins the 1st part of the phase, but it's been a hard winter and soup is what hit's the spot after shoveling knee deep snow. I'll save that for February were it is easier to keep track. I find it is really hard to adjust from one extreme to another extreme because of that sense of deprivation seems to sabotage successful weight loss.
