hi Bella-
you asked, and this is JMHO-
but I think posting is a great idea.
If all you want for CM in the morning is coffee, go for it. I try and not have AS, I think I release insulin with it, but it is a YMMV issue.
Your lunch CM is WAY too small. If you read all the Hellers books (as I have) they did not mean to limit the protein to 4 ounces- 4 ounces is s suggestied portion. I never weigh or measure, and just have protein and veggies. A chicken breast, a burger, a chicken quarter, a hotdog, tuna, sardines, turkey, chicken on a salad, salmon, all kinds of leftovers. For CM veggies just look at the list. I do mainly letuce, spinach, and green beans.
THe vinegar is RM only. If you want to have it before your RM dinner, you can but having it 30 minutes before limits your RM to the hour from that point.
The RM is not okay with any Heller plan- there is no protein. In all the Heller books, all the Protein Power books and all the Atkins books there is a common thread- you only eat carbs with protein. The books all treat this differently, but you combine carbs and protein. Now if you threw a chicken breast, a burger, a sausage, a steak, shrimp- whatever- into the sauce with the veggies for your pasta- that would be a fine CM for CAD. For CALP or CAHHP you would need more salad and would balance the veggies/carb/protein.
I think you are hungry and having cravings (from your other post) because you are not eating enough. Veggies will fill you up, and protein satisfies.
Does this help? Is it making any sense?Please let me know-
