I ordered the book last week and studied the plan for a couple of days. Then this weekend, we bought all the foods and supplements we needed. This is not a cheap diet, to say the least. We spent $55 on supplements alone (ground flaxseed, flaxseed oil, sugar substitutes, dietary supplements, protein powder). Then we headed off to Costco to buy all the foods for the meal. That's another $100+. I sure hope this diet works.
The book gives a sample meal plan for the week, which includes various recipes for each meal. Today we started with an egg scramble with spinach and parsley. For lunch I made a beef stir fry with bok choy, sprouts, and mushrooms. For dinner, I sauteed some shrimp with garlic. All recipes looked great on paper, but tasted just as I expected.....bland. I didn't get a chance to photograph today's meals. I was too busy trying to figure out what I needed to prepare. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it, so I think tomorrow's preparations will be better.
Its hard having to give up all the flavors I'm used to. But I keep telling myself "Its only for 2 weeks!" Friends from work have tried this diet and swear by it. So I'm hoping I'll be as successful as they had been. We'll see. Today is day 1. Will I be able to make it to Day 14??
