Just wanted to encourage you as well, Goddess You've done great so far, and it's no shame to want a structured eating plan. I myself have to really structure mine, or I find that I turn into an eating machine, where everything is up for grabs.

Karen's modifications to your gray sheet seem pretty good to me, as well as upping the protein somewhat so you don't go hungry. As for fruit, I would suggest that you avoid it during the day, as it can trigger cravings for more carbs. If you want a piece of fruit, I'd eat it later in the evening as a snack - that way, you sleep through any cravings I stick with berries, as they tend to be lower carb (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), and avoid apples and bananas (though I have heard that because of the fiber content in apples, they release insulin more slowly, which can be beneficial).

I like frozen vegis as well. I tend to stick with leafy salad vegis if I buy raw.

Keep up the good work! You're doing great!

Shalom,
Sh'ra
