Hey Gayle!  Have you read Dr. Sears's book?  You might want to ditch the rice and corn and sub it for another veggie.  Both brown rice and corn fall into the "unfavorable carbohydrate" category, and therefore should be used VERY sparingly.  Maybe sub in an apple, if you have a craving for sweet.  The super easy way that I do apples is to use one of those apple slicer gadgets.  It makes such a quick and easy snack.

Awesome job!  Keep it up!

Thanks for the heads up!! Yeah I decided to give myself 2 weeks before I went FULL ZONE Come monday it's ON!!!

Awesome!  I just did a great rip off of a chicken cacciatore tonight.  Dice an onion, put it in a pot with just a little olive oil.  Throw in some garlic to taste.  Saute it until soft.  Remove the onion and add cubed chicken (or skip this step and used cooked chicken).  When the chicken is done, put the onion back.  Add oregano, basil, white wine, sweet relish (call me crazy, but it's the surprise ingredient!), and as many cans of diced tomato as you want.  Simmer for at least 30 mins.  It will be better when refrigerated overnight.  NOM NOM NOM.  I had that with some avocado and a side salad.

And guess what tomorrow is.  The start of it for you.  If you're struggling too much with the portions and you're starving all the time, don't be afraid to increase your fat intake.  Cook things in more EVOO.  Have a few nuts.  Your body is used to too many calories and it will not work if you're constantly starving.  Keep in mind that you're expending a huge amount during your workouts and you may feel a "crash" if you're too far in the negative for caloric intake.
