Well, here I am at day 16. Yesterday I found myself ravenous about an hour before dinner. Since I have been doing this from The Fast Metabolism Cookbook I don't reallly have the detailed rules from The Fast Metabolism Diet: Eat More Food Lose More Weight (I just ordered it from Amazon and it comes today). I just joined an FMD Support group on facebook and they reminded me that I can have all the phase appropriate veggies I want at anytime.
So last night before I went to bed I started a crockpot of Phase 1 veggies - a turnip, parsnip, carrots, and white and red onions in chicken stock with bay leaves and a cinnamon stick. This morning I got up and forced in 8 ounces of Kale and added a splash of apple cider vinegar- I will add a grating of nutmeg shortly.
The one rule I have not been following is that I am supposed to eat within 30 minutes of getting up. So this morning I ate my quinoa and grapefruit. When Art has breakfast I will have a big bowl of my veggie soup vegetables.
Today is date day. So here is my plan:
Breakfast: Qunioa and Grapefruit with a splash of coconut vinegar.
Breakfast 2 with Art: Veggie Soup veggies
Snack 1: Apple with Saigon cinnamon
Lunch @ The Coyote: Grilled Chicken Breast and Romaine Lettuce (topped with my quinoa, apples, celery and fresh lemon juice I will bring from home)
Snack 2: Apple (last one for this week)
Dinner: Veggies from Soup, Quinoa, Broiled Chicken breast.
