@ rezywezy:
1. Nonfat yogurt - You can get the plain creamy yogurt @ 28 pesos, or you can have the 0% fruit falavored one, but eat it as a snack.
2. Low fat soy cheese - most vegetarian specialty stores have this. If you can't have it, you can substitute with crumbled soft tofu, or other dairy substitutes on the List of Food Equivalences
3. Dill - Most supermarkets. You can use the dried one, or if you really can't find it, just omit or replace with other herbs
4. Nonfat cream - Most supermarkets. You can buy either nonfat or reduced fat cream

To all October 1 starters, don;t forget to weigh in on Saturday!

@ rezywezy: for CGN, as cliche as it sounds, breakfast is the most impt meal of the day. If you don't have a good breakfast, you are more likely to have hunger pangs throughout the day.

The meal plan is not written in a correct sequence as of now. For breakfast the sequence is
1. oat bran w/ or w/o milk
2. protein
3. veggies
4. dairy
5. beverage (Chauchard tea)

For Phase 1 lunch and dinner
1. protein
2. fats
3. vegetables
4. dairy

Hope this helps!

I'm supposed to start today, but I missed breakfast (haven't been a b'fast eater in DECADES :( )...

For the Oat Bran, how is this supposed to be eaten?

And i read in Doc's blog that PROTEINS have to be eaten FIRST...so does that mean the way our Meal Plan is written is already in sequence (ie., tea/coffee first, then egg, then oat bran, followed by soy milk, then veggies last)?

@himechi: Not eating breakfast in the Chrono-Geno-Nutrition Diet is not recommended. It's time to have a change of habit. In this program, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Most of the hormones responsible for digestion and metabolism are secreted in the morning, that is why you need to eat accordingly. Dr. Chauchard will explain more about this in your coaching sessions.

To all of you who starts today, October 1, I am wishing you the best! :)
