Saw my dietician, Stephanie, this morning for 20/20. Got a few changes to my diet.

First, instead of my snacks being a shake with 1/2 cup of berries, I can substitute any 2 ounces of protein for the shake. So I can have 2oz. jerkey or 2oz. soy nuts, etc. I can also substitute a small apple for the 1/2 cup of berries, since berries aren’t in season.

Second, vegetables are added in this week. Most veggies that aren’t very starchy are in. I’m supposed to have about 2 cups of them a day, half with lunch and half with dinner. For lunch today I had some grilled salmon with a cup of broccoli and a shake with strawberries as my first meal with veggies.

As to progress for the first week, I’ve lost 6 pounds so far. Some water weight in there, no doubt, but it’s still a good start. I need to figure out a good way to post a graph or chart on here.
