thanks for posting your food plan. I have a pattern of lose weight today, gain a little back tomorrow, then lose more the next day. So I'm going down, but with an up and down pattern. When I look at what I've eaten, the up days usually include some "approved" veggies... After reading your post I'm going to take another look and see what happens with more protein and less vegetables I also noticed that the days I ate cream cheese showed no weight loss at all.

it's an interesting science to me. I just have to observe and test and figure out what works best for me and my body. thanks again for sharing and giving me some new ideas.
