Hi…congratulations on your success! Can you give me an idea what your two meals a day consist of..do you limit carbs? I really need to lose at least 20 pounds and this means of eating really appeals to me! Thank you.

I try to eat a low carb breakfast. My favorite meal is an omelette full of veggies like broccoli, jalapeño, zucchini,spinach, and topped with avocado and shredded cheddar. Sometimes I’ll have a slice of whole wheat buttered toast with that but not always. Peanut butter on toast is also good. For lunch I include protein, veggies, and one starch like potato, rice, whole grain bread, etc. Sometimes I’ll have fruit but I’m not much of a fruit eater. I try to limit desert, if I have it, to something very small, like half a home made cookie or ¼ cup ice cream or very small slice or piece of desert. Often I’m quite full and don’t need desert. But a bite or two of something just tops it off. Like a piece of dark chocolate. Yum. Then I start my 18 or 19 hour fast between 1 or 2 p.m. and eat not til breakfast the next day.
