Listed below are examples of the Complementary Meals (CM) I have been eating since beginning this program on March 3, 2008. None of my meals are weighed or measured and I let my eyes do the work for me. It is very important for me to balance my CMs with the same amount of vegetables and protein.

The majority of my meals are leftovers with the exception of a few. I prefer fresh vegetables but have no trouble opening a can of green beans and adding some vinaigrette dressing to them.

There are many more protein and vegetable choices that are allowed on this plan. Listed below are the actual combination of foods that I have been eating during the short period of time I have been on this program.
