Eat To Live, day 3

Hi everyone! I have been following the plan for exactly 2 days and have lost 4 pounds exactly. Unbelievable! I'm now through the Christmas weight and digging into the thyroid weight. And the food has been great.

Please share with me any meal ideas you have. I don't have too many so far.

Good ideas from yesterday:

Bean chili for dinner with a few olives to spice it up. I'll post the recipe at the end.

Pears, avocado, red peppers, and pinto beans with a sprinkle of feta cheese on top of baby lettuce for lunch. I just used red wine vinegar for dressing and it tasted great.

Sauteed some mushrooms in a nonstick pan with just a light spray of Pam, and it worked great.

Whenever I got hungry I ate frozen Costco fruit in a bowl. It worked like a charm.

What good ideas did you have yesterday?
