I have tried every diet, fad diet you name it, nothing works anymore since januuary I have lost only 10lbs., I think that I have screwed up my metabolism with all the starvation diets...So that's why I am here. I am starting this morning even though I have'nt read the book yet. I ordered it and it has yet to come. So please give me some advice and help! Here is what I got planned for today tell me what amounts I should have if wrong and so...on!


    Breakfast- 2 egg omlet w/ 1oz cheese
    16 oz water

    Lunch- 5 oz chicken, 1 1/2 c. salad w/ ranch dressing
    16 oz water

    Dinner- 7 oz pork, 1 1/2 c salad w/ ranch dressing.
    16 oz water

    Sure thing Clara.....you're missing your veggies, not just salad!!! Very very important. Also, watch your ranch dressing, is it fat free...not good, does it have sugar, not good. I given you some links to look over, you'll really need to study them until your book arrives.

    I'm glad you've order the book. Definately read it front to back. This is the blueprint for the rest of your life!!! You need to follow it strictly!!

    My name is Scooter, and I'm here to tell you that this way of life DOES work. I hear your pain, starvation diets suck. No need to beat around the bush ya know. This way of life is fulfilling in every sense of the word.

    No need to starve yourself at all. In looking at your menu, you're gonna get bored really really quick....

    Here are some other threads and links you may find help to get the wheel in motion. The intial step of moving that wheel is all you need, these links will keep to keep building up the momentum!

      could I have cauliflower, brussel sprouts? And how many? I thought that you could only have 3 cups vegtables per day...Thats why I chose salads, luv em!

      the ranch dressing is'nt fat-free and I would only use maybe 1 tbs., what dressings are good to eat? And also are there any limitations on how much meat you should eat?

        No you don't want fat free hon. You just don't want the dressings that have sugar or cornsyrup in them. Sugar is hidden sometimes - called

        fructose, dextrose, gluclose etc.

        Those links I gave you are excellent....brussel sprouts are a yes, cauliflower a definate yes...

        If you're hungry you eat. It's that easy. Now you don't stuff yourself, you eat until you are satisfied. You may want more meals, smaller spread out over the day, or 3 regular meals with snacks...

        Snacks - Green Pepper Strips, Hard Boiled Eggs (Excellent), Home Made Jerky, etc.

        As far as dressings, I make my own, but I occasionally use the South Beach Diet ranch. It's pretty good too!!

        Let me know if you need more!!

              My advice is to buy a scale. I had no idea what a cup of veggies actually looked like, boy was it different. Same thing with an ounce of cheese.
