Pete your food looks fab. I am inspired to try EE plan. Last week I did it but got confused between Superfree and superfast and lost 1lbs only. I picked up the correct info from another thread on the forum and going to have another go.
Like yourself I intend to publish my plan in my diary.
Thank you for inspiring me and good luck with your journey.
