My first question is why are you hitting on snacks/cakes?
This diet takes guts (pardon the pun) and determination.
I bought the book, thought “why bother reading” just go straight to the recipes??? One day later I was reading the book.
It sits on my breakfast island now, all day, every day for the past week. I checkout the recipes, decide what takes my fancy and plan my next days three meals or two on a Saturday/Sunday which allows for a scrummy Brunch.
Week one and 8lbs down……how happy am I.
I love the planning and I love preparing the food – it’s bought me back to my favorite love of cooking…….
Just take your time, write down the page number of the recipe you fancy (otherwise you can’t find it later)….keep a daily track of what you eat and write your comments in the book about that meal….really helps.
I’ve now got a chart of my start weight each day, how many calories I consume and how much ginger/lemon tea (74 cals) or sparkling water with fresh lemon. It really is a good way to stay firm.
and now, on to week two!!!
