Default Re: Just one fruit??

Yes, everyone is right. You really, really have to wait.

BUT I can recommend that you start moving up the rungs as early as appropriate for you. I am currently on the nut rung and looking forward to berries very soon. It is worth the wait. I enjoy skipping extended induction and even though it may slow my weight loss a little bit, it is worth it for the extra variety in my eating habits.

what the rungs mean to me:
rung 1 - more veggies
rung 2 - dairy (some milk in coffee)
rung 3 - seeds, nuts (mostly sprinkled on salads)
rung 4 - berries, melon
rung 5 - wine - gotta really re-think this rung
rung 6 - beans, hummus (stay until 133)
rung 7 - other fruits (stay until 131)
rung 8 - carrots/ potatoes (nah, prolly not)
rung 9 - whole grains (fresh Dutch breads...)
Major Goal - 128 lbs/ healthy range
(on to pre-maintenance)
