Day 6 effective update...lunch at Burton's was diet friendly. My lunchmate scored 1 1/2 gulf shrimp. And I ate well.

Dinner, tho, was over the top. My own extra lean beef chopped in the processor to hamburger consistency.

Steamed/sauteed a whole onion (heated about 2 tbl. Of H2O in a non-stick pan) with Greek seasoning until tender and just starting to brown. Add hamburger, breaking up. Comes out like a steak and cheese (sans cheese, of course). Yummy.

Feeling beyond fantastic and can't get over it. I wouldn't say this protocol is easy...it's not. But the results are so gratifying, it makes sticking to it that more satisfying.

Weigh-in (as usual) and first week's measurements tomorrow.
