Thanks for the recipe - it looks good. Leave out the starchy veggies and add cabbage, and you'd have cabbage soup.
The cabbage isn't a magic ingredient in the diet -- it is used as a low calorie/ high fiber filler. I think for folks who don't care for cabbage, another very low calorie vegetable could be substituted.

I purchased a 5 oz. potato last evening, baked it, and am chilling it. I thought I'd eat it this afternoon to test my bs rise. I found a blog of someone who tried the potato hack and lost even though she drank coffee with 2 - 3 Tbs. cream each morning. But I can certainly give up coffee for three days if this might jump-start me.

Right now I'm holding my own with lower carb, no chocolate <sigh>, and limiting snacking. Sort of PP in the higher level. But I'm not losing.

How are you doing?
