This time alternate PP/PV. The 4PP/3PV is good for weekends but I find the 4PPs rather constipating 
5PP/5PV is for very heavy people (and is VERY transit worrying!!)

The thing you've got to remember Shellbell is that whatever rhythm you decide on, you'll be doing approximately the same amount of pp/pv days in a month (as Dr D explains in the book), so if necessary you can decide on your own unique rhythm each week around what suits you and your circumstances (as long as you roughly end up with 50/50 pp/pv over the month).
For me Friday PV is an absolute must as it's fajita friday in our house... though admittedly mine are now somewhat lacking in tortillas and cheese lol!!

The first time I looked at the back of a fajita mix packet and then used the same spices. Now I just chuck in whatever's in my cupboard, which means that they vary in how hot they are! But as a general rule my mix contains:
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp candarel
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
pinch cayenne pepper
1 tsp cumin
If I'm on a pv day I also make a salsa:
1 fresh chili finely chopped
1 onion finely chopped
1 tin tomatoes
vinegar
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp candarel
Fry onions in some fry light. When softened add a good splash of vinegar (white wine works best) then fry a little longer. Add the tomatoes, candarel, chili & chili powder and simmer until reduced. If you like coriander (as I do) chop up a bunch to add at the end.
I think the best bet is to play around with the spices until you find one you like in terms of taste and heat. I sometimes add a bit of dried corriander to mine as well.
I dry fry chicken strips, then add sliced onions & peppers. Cook until slightly softened then add the spices & simmer until all the juices have disappeared. Then serve with the salsa, a salad and if you like a dollop of ff creme fraiche.
Yum

I vary mine on a weekly basis to suit my diary (dinners out with friends, work trips). I generally end up with 2 PP days on a Mon/Tues or Thurs/Fri as I inevitably need PV days on the weekend. I keep a record of it in my weightloss spreadsheet and make sure it's pretty much equal PP/PV.
