I will do as she says.
So I ate our catered lunch today at work exactly the way this woman prescribed. By the way, she did the best job possible explaining what fiber is and why pulverizing greens into a smoothie removes the fiber. I now feel validated in my not being into "green smoothies". If I want spinach, i saute it, make it into a soup, or eat it in a salad (like today).

So the catered lunch was Korean. I wanted a little white rice. I do like steamed white rice. Fried rice, no thanks, seasoned rice, no thanks, but plain white, yes, a little bit. Normally I avoid if, but today I decided to first load up on vegetables:

- carrots
- cukes
- red cabbage
- corn (counting it as a vegetable but maybe I shouldn't? it just was so colorful)
- a salad with spinach, romaine, and tomato pieces

Then I ate the beef.

And then I ate that tiny serving of white rice. And enjoyed myself.

For snack, I got carried away and allowed myself a treat. Instead of eating a plain Fage greek yogurt, I ate the one with canned peach pieces, BUT I first ate a small bag of baby carrots. So first veggies, then yogurt for protein, and then my favorite carb: canned peaches. Not that I will be doing daily, but every once in a while.

So, I am IN!
