Actually, CAD does require you to have a salad first. It is in the book.

And about Chinese, I've been finding myself not wanting it because of the fact that it is hard to balance. I don't like stir fried veges, and I have to eat a TON of veggies and meat to eat the chow mein or fried rice I love so much.
Hehehe, I'll look at the chow mein and think"Yum, I want a lot of that, so I'll eat a lot of meat and vegies to balance it" and then since we're supposed to eat the carbs last, by the time I've eaten all of the meat and vegies, I"m totally stuffed!! Maybe that's the point? Lol!

Allura, my fruits are still hiding behind the ice cream too!! Haha! These past two weeks, I've totally been meaning to eat fruit during RM, but everytime I get to it, I think "ICE CREAM!!" Losing weight after eating ice cream does help me any with getting out of the ice cream fix either! Hahahahaa.......
