But if I were you, I would not add more than one food per week, so that if something stalls me, I'd know what it is.
In any case, sometimes it takes more than one week to test a new food or a new carbohydrate level, because weight loss may pause for reasons independent of our menus.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
