Congratualations! The wonderful folks on this board (including myself) will be VERY supportive and have a lot of great advice / experience for you.

Tips:

1) Start small and set small goals for a lifetime.
2) Always stay full - and never hungry.
3) Be HONEST with the level that you ARE very comfortable at and set very small goals (with timetables) to stretch from there).
4) Keep it simple, and don't feel you need to do anything complicated.
5) Always eat before you leave the house - and bring a snack.

-Just some basic tips.

thank you everybody for the advice, jodi im glad u like the name.... ok im going to the supermarket to look for something to put together now. If i dont find anything good there that means ill have to go to the health food store. But I will atleast get a papaya and some frutis to hold me down for my first meal of the day.

i had a breakfast smoothie... papaya, pineapple, banana, and i made my own nut milk for the first time... i took some raw almonds and cashews and put in the blender with some filtered water and wala, after that i just strained it and added it to the smoothie.

I also bought collard greens, green lettuce cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, red and green peppers, cilantro, garlic, and mangoes,
I was just gonna put together a nice salad does anyone else have other recipes i can use with these ingredients even if i have to go get more stuff

You could dice the MANGO, add some finely chopped CILANTRO, (some fresh lemon or lime juice would be nice), a touch of sea salt, and eat it rolled up in COLLARD leaves.

You could make a nut pate' from your ALMONDS and CASHEWS and stuff it into CUCUMBER boats or eat it as a dip w/ sliced cukes, RED BELL PEPPER or roll it up in your GREEN LETTUCE leaves. This would probably be yummy with a fresh MANGO sauce.

You could make a fiesta slaw by shredding your CABBAGE and adding chopped TOMATOE, finely chopped CILANTRO, GREEN BELL PEPPER & RED BELL PEPPER, & GARLIC

...and all this without even going to the store again!

happy feasting!

very good thanks for the info

I made a nice salad i chopped the cabbage, lettuce, and collards up with the cucumber tomatoes and peppers i did go back to the store for an avocado chopped it up too and made my own dressing i let some chopped red onion sit in orange and lemon juice along with some herbs and spices I let it sit a few hours it was so good i ate 2 small bowls. No lie i felt a buzz afterwards, I really felt high, I already love it.

Tomorow I'll do the mango thing wrapped in collard leaves. thanks so much
