I did not really know there was a 30 day plan. How does it work? Today will actually be 30 days for me being on the vitamins and us being on this diet.
The nutritional advice in the book surprised me. One we can't believe the things we do get to eat and the amounts and the fact that after following this diet we not only don't crave sweets, we don't ever get hungry. Gospel truth. I'm not eating half the amount of food I use to and Have to remind myself to eat lunch. It's amazing.
I did go to the store and read all the labels in the ice cream section. More and more companies are coming out with low carb stuff, which is the only thing you have to watch, but not anything like Atkins. Blue Bunny brand ice cream has come out with one that is good and OK according to the book. We do have a serving of it in the evenings. But it really isn't that we crave it.

Becky,
The 30 day (meal) plan is supposed to be in the book that is sent with supplements. Gives you 30 days of meals to follow as a guide. I belong to a health and fitness club on the internet, there was a plan called the Zone (Plan Demi Moore used to get rid of her body fat_ she had a cook do the preparing for her and didnt have to keep track of it herself), now referred to as 40 30 30(40% protein 30%carbs 30%fat) thats where the balance comes in to effect. W to W refer to these in the same category as the Schwarzbein I & II Plans. (healthy food combinations) I think these combinations of the foods support the wt loss. You must be doing it 100% correct, cause the results you are experiencing is what you are supposed to feel. Oh, Bryers makes and excellent low carb ice cream in our area. The Blue Bunny must be in the West, I just came home from a Houston,TX trip and they had Blue Bonnet or Blue Bunny Ice Cream there. It was very good and I believe made in TX. I try to stay away from the white stuff, and use Ezekiel, or Essene bread/flour. I get these from the health food store, but Giant Eagle now has some of these products. I try to get organic yogurt and love Irish Oatmeal. One sure quick way to stay on plan is journal everything per meal and detox your home of the unwanted foods.(throw them out)or give them away to needy. If they aren't in the house you wont have them to eat. When I get my supplements Monday, I will begin with a fresh start. Feel this will keep me on track. Had a beautiful day in OH with near 70 degrees, it was a beautiful day for a nice brisk walk. You mention getting off the soda, me too, its been about 4 years now that I have been away from drinking it. I don't miss it, Coffee wont effect me, ( drink it when eating something sweet) just drink it here at work once in a while, I know the caffeine is not good for us, easily replaced with water. Keep a water bottle at desk. Its good you have weaned yourself gradually away from it, withdrawal not as bad that way. Have a great day. Maureen
