I don't have a clue about what you can eat, Promise, but just wanted to send my best wishes to you and other ADBB SD members that the fires stop soon and everyone continues to be safe. Those fires look so scary. My thoughts are also with those brave firefighters!

Induction veggies that are "sweet" tasting include sweet red peppers, snowpeas, fennel and pumpkin. Induction veggies that are juicy are cucumbers, jicama, waterchestnuts, and hearts of palm.

My suggestion is for you to make a chopped salad or slaw of the above veggies. Dress it plainly with mayonnaise or sour cream and dig in.

I know this is a "your mileage may vary" sort of thing, but after induction and rung one I skipped the dairy rung (nothing there I will ever eat to any extent) and headed right on via 2 weeks on nuts and have now reached fruit.

With the additional veg, nuts and fruit there is nothing that entices me any higher, so this is where I intend to stay for quite some time. In the last 10 days or so I have had berries with chilled vanilla cream about 3 times and it is such a lovely fresh and fruity taste, it was worth putting in the effort to get here.

So hang in there, climb just a couple of rungs more and you WILL have fruit, without having to worry about it. In my case it has not stalled my losses at all - in fact every time I have berries I seem to be down the next day. Which might be because of the cream, I dunno, but it's great to be able to enjoy such a treat.

Thats what I was going to suggest also I would take some strawberries sweeten them with splenda grill a chicken breast and make a spinach and strawberry salad with grilled chicken.

Thanks For The Ideas! i made myself a Fritata for breakfast (thanks for the idea ~megs~)with some Sweet Red Bell Peppers, Onion, Sausage and a little Cheddar... it was Wonderful...! Oh My Gosh! this made me feel a little better... i think i may skip Rung 2 also, because im not really interested in that Rung... but im going to be Very Super Duper Careful with the Nuts Rung... and hopefully i can have some Berries with Cream someday soon... I WOULD LOVE THAT!!! thats really kinda what i was wanting this morning... something sweet and fruity... i guess thats why i was thinking about Fruit Loops ~~~~~~~~Ha Ha!!! ~~~~~~~~ ~~~ im sticking to my Guns! No Cheating ~~~
