Menu - Don't Follow To The Letter?

I suggest your getting the gist of The Plan menu and NOT following it to the letter.  You can look at the following chart and see lunch is a salad and soup or some warmed vegetables, and only once in 20 days, animal protein.  Animal protein is really only eaten with dinner.

The Plan is working for me like a charm.  I've dropped close to 10 lbs and am dropping at close to 1/2 lb per day.  Soooo... that's my take.

p.s. what do the page numbers for recipes refer to? is there a booklet of recipes? because all I have is the book she wrote (The Plan) and the recipes are all in the back - - ? ? ?

So terribly sorry for not getting back to you. I've had a major focus switch and wasn't able to update this blog.
The pages refer to the recipe book the author was kind enough to mail to me. If you send her an email or check her out on Twitter, she'll likely send you the same thing. and actually the cookbook and diet plan was posted on her website. I'm not certain, however, if its still there.

Again, I apologize for not getting back to you sooner.

Blessings, Miel
