1 As a protein-based meal (with the griddled pork chop) it has no large amounts of concentrated carbohydrate (such as potatoes or rice), but we did use a sprinkle of gravy granules to thicken the mushroom/cream sauce - this contains flour, which is a carbohydrate.
2 Eating as much raw food as possible (as in the Greek salad) is advised, but mixing two types of protein in one meal (ie. pork chop and feta cheese on the salad) is not.
3 Making vegetables and/or salad the main part of every meal is encouraged (they now always take up 2/3 of our plates), but so is serving smaller portions ... which is something we still haven't quite embraced!!
However ...
We are both thoroughly enjoying the food, feeling very healthy ... and I am beginning to lose a few pounds. Without "dieting". Because "diets" don't work ... healthy eating does!
