Just purchased your book.
Hi, I just purchased your book and I need a bit of guidance. I have a history with binge eating, so I need exact measurements when it comes to food quantities. You mention that there is no need to count calories or measure- except for proteins. However, I would really like an idea of how much avocado and olive oil can be used per meal- 1 Tablespoon? 3 Tablespoons? There is no mention of suggested fat intake in your book. I have a difficult time listening to my hunger cues- because I have ignored them for so many years. Please send me some guidance in relation to the amounts of fat and veggies in my meals.
Thanks!
Sophie

Dear Sophie,
Welcome to your new life style. Actually you will find that over time the binge eating will start to diminish. I too used to not know when to stop and a handful of nuts would then be the whole bag, same with ice cream and many other foods. A great forum for your to mingle with others on the program is on yahoo communities 'rosedalediet', you will have to sign up for a yahoo email and then ask to be accepted in to the group, but it will be well worth it. They are very active, and when one asks a questions you will get about 15 amazing answers! So for example for breakfast you could have 2 eggs, half and avocado, and if you wanted more you could always have a cup of veggies maybe with it. For lunch a piece of chicken size of a deck of cards, and a full plate of mixed salad with some olive oil and vinigerette, and another half of the avocado. Night, some protein either fish, chicken, and meat, maybe 2 cups of veggies or a cup of veggies and some salad. Trader Joes have some nice almonds in little baggies of about 15 nuts per bag, this would be perfect for you, if you are hungry, then each a bag of 10 nuts in one hour, then if you are still hungry an hour later have another. This program will be great for you as it helps with cravings a lot.
Best of health.
