no, you don't have to follow the book exactly. I'm super picky and I don't eat fish or any seafood and the only cheese I have is mozz and parm. I wouldn't be able to do ANY of the meals hardly and this is a reason that other diets like Jenny Craig wouldn't work for me because I'd end up having the same thing at every meal, practically.

Another gal in the 6-week challenge class had the same thoughts that you did tho. And at our third meeting she asked how people were dealing with it all. Then I mentioned the things that I had been eating....sliced pepperoni (hormel or other brands found near the hot dogs) for a snack (140 calories and no carbs for 14 slices)...green olives, my chicken parm....and she just lit up like "I can have those things too?? then what am I worried about??" so basically, just watch the carb intake (and calories if on the calorie version) and stay in range and you'll be fine. I think one day my boyfriend ate 12 slices of pepper-jack cheese. I snack on walnuts and cocktail pepperoni sticks. But as long as you stay under 60g carbs a day on phase 2, you're doing it right.

Does that help you more? the menus in the book are suggestions that you can use. I drink my shake every morning for breakfast.

Oh and the unlimited v. portion sizes. another suggestion. If you have 6 oz of chicken but you're still hungry, have more. But don't do that with the fruit ;) The portion sizes in phase 2 are more for the calorie version ladies.

I hope I've helped....
Have a GREAT workout!
