P.S. watch the dressings….try and stick to just some good olive oil and vinegar.

Hello Jules…so happy for you, as I have told you before, the protein thing just works, it just keeps you sooo happy for soooo long in that tummy it does me. I know what you mean about the eating lots of meats, have you tried adding some fish??
That’s what I do since I don’t eat red meats, so it is fish, chicken, tofu, turkey. Than I do over again. don’t worry we all cheat or whatever while doing this. Best of luck and keep it up….EH

[...] Those of you who follow me on Twitter already know that I decided to try a vegan meal plan for the month of September, but even those of you already privy to my decision don’t know how it came about. The last 4.5 months or so of dieting have gone well with the exception of my meal plan. As I complained about repeatedly, I couldn’t seem to add grains back in without it altering my mood negatively. I don’t know why this is, but it continued to be a problem, even when I stuck to low glycemic grains. This isn’t to say my meal plan wasn’t successful. I lost 40 pounds following it to the letter. You can see the meal plan I used to lose the first 40 pounds here. [...]

You MUST keep the pics coming. They are gorgeous and you know I love to know what you are eating. For me things that sustain life go as follows: air, water and what Jules is eating. You always motivate me to want to be healthier. Keep up the great work! Toi´s last blog post..Turn Away From Me.......I'm Hideous!

Thanks, everyone. My way of eating (WOE) will change considerably after Saturday. I didn’t say how in my post because I hadn’t yet decided as I was writing it. I will let you all know what I am doing on Friday is you are interested.

Julie, I was never once physically hungry. The first few days I had false hunger at night, simply because my body missed all the snacking. That disappeared in a few days. After that, never once have I been truly hungry. If I was hungry, it was usually because I waited too long to eat or, like mentioned about, false hunger having more to do with something emotional.

Love the photos – keep it up, please.
I’m waiting for a copy of the new S. Beach diet book to hit my library (I have a copy on order there). Your way of eating sounds very similar to the first 2 weeks of S. Beach. I’m going to struggle with the plan though: I’m not a big vegetable eater. BUT that’s one of the reasons I’m going to do it – I NEED to eat more vegetables (ok, honestly, I need to eat ANY vegetables). So …my biggest question is ….are you hungry eating this way?

PS: I love the bowls – so very bright & cheery!

Hello Pancake. (I couldn’t find your name anywhere) I am a lurker who loves your blog. I found it on some long list of Really Cool Blogs You Must Check Out somewhere else here in blogland, and if it wasn’t for your cool name, then I might have passed on by, but I came and I read and I laughed and I loved it. So I kept coming back and now I think I should say hello. Hello! I don’t want to sound corny (is that word used anymore?) but I do think you are great. We probably won’t ever meet in real life, but I sure am glad to have met you here.

I love this diet plan. I have been on it (not this exact one) for 2 months now (give or take a few bumps and bruises from falling off the wagon a day or two) but for the most part I like it and it works. So good for you on your day 28. FYI, I really like your photos, so whether it be food photos or what, I like them. It gives me a visual, but then I guess that’s the point to photographs. :0)

I would like to know what font you use for your title ‘Pancakes and French Fries.” It is beautiful. I am doing invites for a wedding and think this font would be perfect.

Anyway, now that I have written an essay, I will go now. But I will be back. And I like comments, so don’t take them away. Please.

Wow – that seems like a diet that would require extreme willpower and dedication. Kudo’s to you! You and I both had the same amount of weight to lose about a month or so ago, but you have skipped way ahead of me and I suck!

I’ve tried weight watchers – they give me an inch and I take a mile. I’ve been researching and researching, and I think I’m going to try that “Let’s do Lunch” thing. Unlimited fruit, vegetables, beans and corn… you eat your lean protein meal at lunch time, the rest of the day is filled with fruits, veggies and whatever recipes involve beans and corn. I actually found out about the diet while researching South Beach.

I, for one, LOVE pictures of food, lol. People just talk about what they are eating, and sometimes it can sound gross if you don’t get to see the picture along with it.

Interested to see how you will be altering your plan
