Default Re: Starting tomorrow - apprehensive

welcome - - I hope you commit to the plan for more than 14 days because you will only be beginning by that time. As you already know the first few days are the worst but have no fear we have been there, gone through it and lived to tell the tale!!

We've all been in your shoes the day we started so if you need any help be sure to ask. Make sure you get enough veggies in daily (more than just lettuce) and eat a variety of foods - keep your fats up to help keep from getting hungry and tired. Drink a MINIMUM of 64 ounces of water daily - more is better but at least 64 ounces. That is PURE water - only ice added.

Here are some links to recipe sites where you can find great meals - make sure you are making induction friendly meals until you are moving on to OWL. Don't make the mistake of eating the same thing over and over then thinking it's too hard to stick to the plan - I only eat the same thing if I want to - not because I HAVE to!!

There are new challenges starting on Monday - check them out - it's a great way to commit to yourself and to meet new people.

Good luck to you.
