Unhappy Help! I need a Week's Sample Menu!!!

Does anyone have a (very successful) week's menu they can share with me?!? I've tried looking at a few Fitday.com public journals... but there are always a few days missing. I just need to know what a successful week of food is. I've been on this for 4 weeks and I'm not seeing any results that alot of people get. Also, I've heard of people that still lose weight on this diet without excersize. What do you all think? If anyone has a Fitday.com journal that they keep up everyday... I'd love to take a look at it!

Thanks!

The book has lots of examples, why don't you buy that? Doing it for 4 weeks and not seeing any results seems strange, therefore I think it would be worthwhile buying the book and making sure that you are not eating things you shouldn't be on induction....

Good luck

Thanks, Karen!

I'll print this out and try again. I'm not a big fish eater, but I do like tuna. Right when I found out about the 2 net carb chocolate bars, they were a life saver for me after dinner... just to get my chocolate fix... but it's so hard to do without them! Especially during TOM. My will power stinks! For snacks, I did buy a bag of fried pork skins... yuk! I really didn't like them. Are fried pork rinds exactly the same thing and taste the same? I was really hoping for something crunchy to snack on.

Yep! Pork rinds are the same thing. You can switch around the protein and vegetables to suit your tastes. Try a celery stick filled with egg salad or devilled ham for something crunchy. I know it's really hard at first but you do lose your desire for crunchy stuff and sweets. Make yourself one of the individual sweets from the Sweet Treats recipe section when TOM hits and limit yourself to just one.
