Re: [fast5] Re: Breaking the plateau

Nom! I dunno how long it can go on either, but it's interesting to see a similar diet. Lately I've sort of given myself permission to eat what other people are NOT eating, and finding that what I crave is very similar: big salads (and stir-fries) with loads of stuff on them, fish, and eggs. I made pumpkin bread, chicken casserole with pasta, etc. for everyone else, but I just don't want it. 

I'm afraid it is making me into a lousy cook, but maybe that will translate into being a better gardener next year. So we have plenty of fresh green stuff.

Good points, as usual Heather.  Still have no hunger and I've managed to drop over five pounds in the last three weeks or so.  Tonight I broke the fast with kimchi and two hard boiled eggs.  Later I had a big salad with greens, onions, green peppers, 2 eggs, olive oil, grape tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, one avacado, salsa, and walnuts.  Just had a can of sardines and in an hour or so, I'll have a packet of almonds.  Curious to see just how long this can go on...  ;)
