Hmm, week four - time to progress to level 2 - or is it?  The Rosedale diet book says that you can stay on level 1 indefinitely, in fact its recommended, but in week four, you can progress to level 2, if you must.

So I've decided to progress to *some* of the level 2 'B list' foods - mainly the wider range of proteins - red meat, and the occasional serve of low fat hard cheese - plus, of course the morning coffee, which I've been having all along. 

What I'm not adding in at this stage is the lower carb fruits (except I'll have tomato).  I'm eating plenty of salads, so I'm not worried about vitamins.  And I find its too easy to 'cheat' having fruit.  So I'm still not having any desert at all - well, maybe a low carb desert to celebrate when I lose another 5 kilos (~11 lbs)

So week four isn't terribly different for me - skip breakfast (personal preference), small serve of protein, plus salad for lunch, small serve of protein plus salad or stirfry for dinner. Sometimes an afernoon snack of lowfat white cheese (eg low fat Philly) with celery sticks.  I'm quite used to it now, and I even feel quite full after eating one of these meals.

I do keep wondering when my weight loss will plateau - I know I can't keep on losing 3 kilos a week - human physiology just doesn't work that way, more's the pity!

The First Week of the Diet

When I saw my first Rosedale diet dinner - a very small serve of chicken, plus low carb vegetables, my first thought was 'is that all?'. And thats exactly how I felt after I'd eaten it! Gradually, over the week, I learned to add soup and/or salad to the meal,
