I was wanting to make egg salad but I’m still following the strict guidelines post the 40 days. So AI helped me create this recipe: Egg Salad Without Mayo, Dairy, Avocado, Hummus, Oil, or Butter Takeaway: The creaminess comes from mustard + a splash of acid. --- 🧾 Ingredients • 4 hard‑boiled egg whites (4oz of egg whites is 3.5 hard boiled eggs) • 1–2 tsp mustard • 1–2 tsp pickle brine or lemon juice or apple cider vinegar | I don’t like pickle brine so I’m going to use lemon juice or apple cider vinegar • 1 tbsp very finely diced onion (red or green) • 1 tbsp finely diced celery (optional but adds crunch) • Salt + pepper • Optional herbs: dill, parsley, chives • Optional seasoning: smoked paprika --- 🥄 How to Make It 1. Separate the yolks from the whites. 2. In a bowl, mix the mustard and your acid (pickle brine or lemon).• This creates the creamy base without any fat. 3. Chop the egg whites and fold them in. 4. Add onions, celery, herbs, salt, and pepper. 5. Adjust with more brine/lemon for creaminess and brightness. 6. Chill 10 minutes so the flavors settle. --- 🌟 Why This Works • Dijon mustard gives body and creaminess. • Pickle brine or lemon juice replaces mayo’s tang. • Onion + celery add texture so you don’t miss the richness. --- 🔄 Variations (All Still Mayo‑Free & Dairy‑Free) • Egg salad with herbs — dill + chives • Spicy egg salad — add hot sauce or chili flakes • Pickle-forward egg salad — add chopped pickles --- 🥪 Serving Ideas • In lettuce cups • On whole‑grain toast • Stuffed into a bell pepper • Over a chopped salad

Hi everyone! Today is Day 3 for me - officially finished the 2 days of loading over the weekend! 🥳 I am finding I miss my coffee. I know I can still have it, but it’s not the same drinking it black. How are you enjoying your coffee ☕️ on the program? Are there any non-dairy approved options?

Dr. Cody said share... Day 7 down 1.5 for a total of 5.4. I run a Cafe and Motel Fixing cream puff dessert and pasta salad yesterday, for the few seconds I wanted a spoon full...I said, nope not gonna do it. After 11 1/2 hours on my feet, I fixed myself a filet, broccoli and berries, all measured on that sweet scale. I wrote on daily recap, no cheating. Dr. Cody pointed out, that was loving myself, eating to be healthy. Not a concept I formally connected.

Hi all, After week 1 I am down (-8.2) pounds. I’m super excited because I’ve had a ton of stressors going on this week, the meal prep really helped because I was able to grab and go. I also used large water cups/containers 20-32 oz so I could easily track how much water I was drinking. There were a few days that I didn’t get in enough water but was able to still have a loss. As Dory would say, “Just keep swimming” I’m excited about my first week’s loss and can’t wait to see how this week goes.

I am so proud of myself for putting in the work and learning a new way to eat. I want to keep these results going and not go back to the way I was living and eating! This is not going to just be 40 days for me I am committing to lifelong health!
