Thank you
I guess I thought that since Dr.S said it is ok to *not* eat the 500cal if you do not feel like it, that I would be OK. Maybe not. I ate just enough to feel good and satisfied LOL But I can easily squeeze in 80-100 cals of veggies then.

I still wonder about the pepperoni. I am going to use gloves from now on just in case! LOL

Thanks again

Sherri, I agree with LoveMySelf, many of the vets here have advised that we try to get as close to 500 calories a day as possible, too little food can be just as damaging as overeating to our progress. Out of the calories that you do eat, always make sure you are eating allllllll of the protein, as we are on the verge of protein deficiency as it is on this diet. Have you been eating all of your protein? Remember that your body is under a lot of stress right now, so vitamin supplementation is a good idea. Cutting out the fruit is ok as far as I know, just don't cut back on your protein or you may run into issues with hunger or stalls.
