I weighed in on Friday and ... I've lost 11 pounds in seven weeks!
About a pound a week has been coming off. I'd love to be losing faster, of course, but I can't be disappointed by such steady progress without any portion control or calorie counting.
For inspiration, here's the menu from our luscious Valentine's dinner at Mint Tulip. Each course featured a different Mexican ingredient and a different chile. Dinner was superb and the conversation refreshing. Andrew could hardly believe such a decadent dinner was possible with just plants, no meat or dairy. My favorite thing was the cashew cheese.
Yours in good health,
Summer

nopalito/jimaca/green apple/onion salad tossed in a lime/cilantro/jalapeno dressing and topped with cashew cheese.
chipotle pumpkin soup with edible flower petals, pepitas and chipotle crema.

Yours in good health,
