Ive been fasting all day and Im starving! Im going to be horrendous tonight, as its my anniversary with DH and we're hitting my favorite steakhouse. In a nod to my sway, i fasted all day and plan to get green beans, and an iceberg salad as side dishes, and an good ol' watermelon margarita sounds good. Im going to pretend my bloody steak covered in blue cheese never happened.

The girl friendly sides/drink/fasting all day make up for it right? And the sugary dessert? Right? haha! Ah, ill be back on the bandwagon strict tomorrow!

This diet is tough. Doing fine with everything except sodium. I just can't seem to get below 1500. A major problem is that i can't give up the sodium filled salad dressing. Any suggestions on what to use on salads that isn't awful tasting? Already feel majorly deprived of food i love.

I used a splash of oil (try and not use olive oil, I used veggie its not quite as good for you) and a splash of red wine vinegar or balsamic mixed with a little grated parm, and mrs dash. A little went a long way. Hope that helps!

White bread is a killer on the sodium - some has more than salt and vinegar crisps! Pasta is a great calorie provider as long as you have a sensible sauce - I like mixing low fat philli with a bit of the hot pasta water, grated courgettes and Parmesan. Cous cous or rice salads are good too. If you fancy something sweet then popcorn made on the stove with a teeny bit of oil and shaken with icing sugar is nice. Oh and I couldn't survive without matzo or no salt rice cakes.

You can eat fruit too - strawberries, white grapes and peeled apples are very good LE food.

There are lots of recipes in the dream section that atomic made up - far better than my suggestions!

Not sure if you can get this sort of thing where you are, but I use a basalmic and fig ready made dressing that is just divine and I will continue using it after swaying. It has no added salt.
