 | Hi, |
 | I just started yesterday. This is definitely a lot of planning and preparation. Nothing easy about this plan. But I am going to give it a try. We are so used to processed food that we have lost our taste for natural wholesome foods. Taking a trip to Trader Joes to pick up a few of the items that I cannot get at Dierbergs.

 | Im not a big breakfast eater and the menu as a lot of stuff, can I skip the salad? Just started this program. |
 | Most of the posts I’ve read were when everyone has just started, but no updates on their progress after that first week.. I would love to hear back from Skinnyboater, Toni or Winn to see what they think today of the program and how they like it, 2 months down the road.. |
| | Quinoa is available at any health-oriented grocery store, including the larger chains such as Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, New Leaf, etc. |
