well today is officially day 2 - and I am feeling good! So far I have tried the espresso shake, pina colada and chocolate - all yummy. Am going to try mango for lunch. I haven't missed having coffee at all! The lady at the chemist said because I only have 1 cup a day, I can still have it if I want because it won't affect the diet too much, but so far I haven't felt like it. I am going to buy the cookbook next week, DH wants me to make the shepherd's pie with cauliflower instead of potato that his friend told him about. Today I have a beef casserole with heaps of vegies in the slow cooker for dinner and I have made vegie soup for lunch. So far so good!
