I am on day 8 and this week have to admit that I didn't make an effort to get some of the amounts of things that it required and have made a few modifications but am still following it pretty much as written. The meals have been great (I am a bit addicted to the salt shaker but haven't used it at all during this time as the food really is good) but I will admit that not enjoying the breakfasts so much as I am not a hot cereal eater. I will certainly be taking some of the changes that I have made these last 8 days forward because I actually do feel not so much better but healthier for sure.

Fennel - I am not a fan of licorice and to me that was all that I thought fennel tasted like. Then last summer I braised some and what a shock that it was a lovely sweet flavour. Then I went really crazy and ate it raw in a salad and was even more shocked to find out it was quite good. I think I have eaten more fennel in the last 6 months than in my entire life.

Brussel Sprouts - I dislike them. But have been over the years trying to find a recipe that will make them taste good. Everyone is always like just try them this way. I keep trying but no luck so far. And spaghetti squash - every time I have cooked it, it turns into this mushy baby food looking mess. I have a hard enough time trying to cut the silly thing in half and then all that works seems to be for naught as it never turns out well.

I also do the freeze the meat and bring it as it keeps it cold and then by the time I need to use it, it is thawed. Lately I have started to freeze the meat with a marinade so that as it thaws it also marinates.

I cut up pears, put a bit of the cheese on the pear and then wrap with prosciutto and then bake in the oven for 15 mins.

Cheese Whiz and white bread. I also love Kraft Dinner (I think in the US you would call this macaroni and cheese - it is in a blue box. In Canada it is known as Kraft Dinner or KD)
