They have not. I have looked up the general serving sizes according to the food pyramid.

I am going to try to do the cardio on m,w,f,sun & the strength training on t,th & sat. It will be hard for me to stick to that, but I am really going to try to do the plan according to how they say to do it. I find myself wanting to think that I know better than the experts & find myself wanting to do more. I figure if I want to change anything, I can do it after the 10 weeks is up.

I smiled at your comment about thinking you know better. I think we all do that. Well done being humble and accepting. Good luck with the plan!

So far today has been good. Anything & everything was out to try to get me not to walk today. I chose to do cardio today. BUT -- I made it. It was late in the day, but I made it. I am finding it hard to eat as much of the food as suggested. How in the world can you eat 4-6 servings of grains every day along with 3-7 veggies & 2-4 fruit not to mention the 2-4 non meat protein & 1-2 lean meat. I find it funny, that I never had to actually try to eat when I was eating junk. Puts a whole new meaning on things. (Of course, in my way of thinking, when it says 2-4 that must mean strive for 4!!

)

SSP - Good luck with measuring the servings. When I was deep in the disease in OA, I looked up the servings and was amazed at the actual sizings. I was way over! LOL Now, I have about 2-3 grains a day, 4 fruit, 2-4 vegies and am trying for protein at every meal. I've started to take a soya protein supplement for breakfast and mix it with a banana, some oats and milk and I'm off to a good start.

Well done on doing the exercise. I had a great session at the gym and can really feel my legs. It's a good sign!

I just wondering how your food plan has been going lately? I'm on a food plan of sorts as well and as long as my emotions are stable I will do pretty good, but when I'm upset that's when I need a new strategy.

Mine goes up and down. I cannot control my eating for long. I have definately made progress & still working on some things.
