If you want to follow he MM protocol as written, you can have your mixed grains - provided you are willing to have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next couple of weeks. Same starch - whatever you choose that starch to be - for breakfast lunch and dinner. Same breakfast, lunch and dinner, repeat until weight is lost. No variety. You should not have yo decide what you are having for lunch or dinner. It's the same thing every day
For me, my meals are as basic as you can get: whole grain (currently my daily grain is whole oat grouts. I started with rice but it made me a bit constipated) with flaxseed and blueberries for breakfast, a large (7 cup Pyrex) container of mixed greens and frozen vegetables microwaved and topped with nutrition yeast for lunch, an afternoon snack of oats and an apple cooked together, dinner is more greens and cabbage and frozen Asian vegetables stir-fried together with some Coconut Aminos, and an evening snack of oats and frozen peaches microwaved together.
Using my starch as a dessert allows me to eat five times a day, which seems to help smooth out any blood sugar swings. I've lost 6 pound so far. I intend to keep going until I've lost the weight I gained while injured this winter.
