[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 143045, member: 1697"] Marg, I DID get some brown rice, had it last nite, loved it! I had it plain, LOL.with my salmon i grilled (on a bbq grill, no pan to grease etc) with celery, carots, red and green peppers sprinkled on it while cooking. I had some leftover green beans with onions and a scant few almonds to go with it. It was divine! It is a new experience for me to now go in the grocery and ONLY go to produce aisle and nowhere else, and grab whatever fresh vegs are on sale. I have a rutabega now to deal with, maybe tonite, LOL. (never had that before) Seems I have really settled in to a grainy cereal type something (and cinnamin) for breakfast and a salad for lunch, my fish for dinner (and more vegs) and nonfat yogurt (and maybe more cinnamin) before bed. I split my one serving of fruit between breakfast and before bed.....and I get my garlic, onion and vinegar in my salad. My lunch salad is always some kind of fresh greens...always raw onion and crushed raw garlic and some raw celery,and vinegar and might have leftover coooked vegs from previous nites dinner. Dinner always has at least one green veg and one other color veg and usually 3 ounces fish baked grilled or poached in a tiny bit of water---or 3 ounces of white sskinless chicken a couple times a week. I found this cereal the other day- Natures Path Organic Flax Plus Multibran cereal. It does have wheat, tho, but I am hoping if it is not only wheat maybe I will do better with it, I am tending towards the wheat being what REALLY kicks in my arthritis problems most, from my food journal and symptoms, thats what seems to be.

Surprise, it TASTES good! even my kids love it, either plain and dry or with milk. It did not get soggy in milk on me. Alas, I am now um like a week and a half in and still no weight loss at all!
