Default Re: Please review my menu

18 pound loss in 20 days is fantastic -- sunflower seeds aren't allowed until Rung 3 so you shouldn't have been eating them anyway. What type of exercise are you getting on a daily basis? I agree you need more veggies -- make sure you get your carbs in before you eat anything else. Is there are reason why you don't get up until 2 in the afternoon on some days? A night time job or something? You might get up at the same time each day and use the extra time to get a good workout done. Do you cook your own meals or do you eat in a cafeteria or restaurant?

Are you drinking anything other than water? Any caffeine drinks?

I really think other than adding veggies you need to let your body adjust to the new way of eating you are introducing it to. The weight loss will come but you need to just relax!!
