Thank you Hollysnan! I wasn't sure if i needed more from the red free foods or not. I had been told I needed 1/3 superfree and 1/3 free foods at every sitting, I don't think I could manage a 1/3 of a plate of eggs or meat for breakfast every day! Looking at others' menus/food diary's, no one else seems to do this. I am going it alone at the moment, but am seriously considering joining a daytime group when the kids go back to school next week...

On red days you don't have to have 1/3 superfree although it would probably help, this is the reason I'm doing red as I can't guarantee this. Good luck hun xx

Exactly what I would have posted big bear, and I really think joining a group is the way forward. You will get such a lot of help, support, info, and there is also the social aspect when you can chat with your fellow members. Good luck in your journey
