Everyday Systems

I also think you're getting too technical. I take a fruit cup to work. I don't eat from a plate when I carry my lunch. Think of it. My plate may be huge while yours might be small. Balance your food. Don't get hung up on the plate.

Who am I to say what you should and shouldn't eat? That's the whole point of this, isn't it? That you get to eat what you want as long as it isn't an "S"?

Yesterday was my day 2. I'm amazed at how easy this has been so far. I'm sure I'll have difficult times coming. It's so refreshing not to have to constantly think about food. That's what other diets did to me. I had to be obsessed with food - that left me hungrier than ever. I did eat seconds at din...
