Hi everyone....the first day went well. All the foods are foods I eat all the time, but not in the portion sizes. Also no soda, yikes. I have been visiitng this forum for the past couple of weeks prior to starting. There is alot of good information and motivation here.

I designed my ticker, but am not sure how to make it part of my post.

You can have Soda 3 a day just diet or Coke Zero, which tastes just like regular coke!

Welcome!

Thanks for all the welcomes. So far, so good. Almost through day 3. I would really like to find something that tastes good to drizzle over my lettuce. I am a little headachey, but I am guessing that is to be expected.

Hi C
Headaches are common as your body learns to deal with the lack of sugar, etc. from your diet.

I like to spritz flavored vinegars over my salads....I found some little spray bottles at the grocery store the other day (they're packaged as approved airline bottles as they hold 3 oz). I fill them with different flavors of vinegar (ie. raspberry, balsamic, red wine, etc.) and then spritz the vinegar onto the salad. It's really good! AND those little bottles do travel well....they fit right in your purse!!
One of my favorite "dressings" is to mix raspberry vinegar, a little bit of sweetener like Equal, and a little bit of shredded onion with it's juice together and drizzle that over spinach salad....yummy!
