Good to have you back, Linda I know how hard it is losing a dear family member and you will remain in my prayers each day. What a blessing, though, that your sister was a believer and you have no doubt that she is rejoicing right now in heaven. How awesome is that?? Not only healthy, but sitting at the feell of our Lord...I know that is about the only thing that gets us through some days, because our loss is so painful. It does get easier and life goes on. Sending you a great big hug, my friend.

YES! What a motivator. So happy for you!

Linda, I am feeling alot better than Monday :-) I went back to work today and two peeps asked if I am losing weight :-)

Awww thank you Slim. You all DESERVE the honest direct truth.

Hi Linda! you are the BEST! so very HELPFUL and STRAIGHT FORWARD with you info!!! Blesses to you and yours!!!

Sorry! That about sums it up.

Thanks for your response. I guess I'll have to suck it up and drink the lesser of to evils lol

Simply put, there are not substitutions. If you don't drink coffee or tea then you are left with water. No juice ever. Sorry, eggs are never a good idea on protocol. They are allowed for those who have develolped an aversion to meat options but it is not one of the allowed proteins.

Hi Linda, I am new to the forum and I am going to start the diet for a second time as the first time did not go well because I chose a bad time to do it. I am very excited about it and totally ready! My only concern is that I don't drink coffee (American) or tea. Can you offer any suggestions, like maybe Naked juice or
how about having a hard boiled egg for breakfast in lieu of coffee or tea? Please help...I plan to start my load days this weekend, to start the diet on Monday 4/23/12...Thanks, Mari

Yes the almond milk will be fine on Phase three only not for the Phase 2 protocol. Remember to tell her to limit it to 1/2 cup at the beginning of maintenance.
