Salmon Salad Niçoise – Dr. Westman’s No Sugar No Starch Diet – Week 2|Day 7
Fluffy Chix Cook prepares Day 14, or Week 2|Day 76 of Dr. Westman’s and Duke Lifestyle Medicine Clinic’s No Sugar No Starch Page 4 Meal Plan, featuring low carb Fluffy Chix hearty steak and eggs breakfast. On weekends, we love big brunches featuring pseudo-gourmet recipes we didn’t have time to make during the week. Lunch aka Afternoon Snack (if we eat it) is an ounce of cheese or a cheese stick with veggies and Creamy Ranch. Dinner, a terrific use of the previous night’s planned leftovers, Salmon Salad Niçoise. Amazing. Tears of low carb keto joy. There’s even room for dessert, sugar free gelatin with homemade Whipped Cream. Keto, gluten free, low carb comfort. It’s is also VERY diabetic friendly. Who would be hungry on this meal plan? The full Page 4 friendly day rings in at 20g total, non-netted carbs.
Week 2 | Day 7 of Dr. Westman’s No Sugar No Starch Diet begins today. Week 2 has gone well, with little to no hunger, except for “that one day.” It’s also the end of the daily posting cycle for Dr. Westman’s Meal Plans. I will still be continuing the weekly cycle of posts. They just may not always be up-to-date. You will still be able to pick up Week 1 as a self-contained unit and know that we will use up or plan to use up almost everything we buy for the week. You can depend that Week 2 will springboard from Week 1 and build on it, continuing to use up ingredients and recipes from Week 1. The same with Week 3. It will be a continuation of Weeks 1 & 2, it just may not occur in 7 days! Daily posting is grueling, in addition to keeping up with recipe posts!
In fact, there was a 1 day delay between Day 13 & Day 14! And although today I post the menu plan for Day 14, I’m actually beginning the first day of Week 3! Confusing, much?
SO in that vein, here are the official results! I’m down a total of (-)4.6lbs in two weeks. I was in light ketosis when I began, so I look at this as mostly fat loss (with a tiny bit of lean muscle and water). That’s a huge success for me. My normal rate of loss is (-) 1/2 to 1 lb per week, if that. Some weeks I see no loss. Some weeks I see a pound or two gain.
Some of you may be gasping in appalled fascination. How can anyone bear to eat a diet plan and only lose 4.6 pounds in two weeks, without losing their minds at the tedium and boredom??? OMG? Gah!
But look at it this way. You’re enjoying super healthy and delicious meals daily. You do not experience deprivation. You are healing your body from the inside out, perhaps even more than you are losing weight. (And by the way, I’m not making diet claims, that’s what the research shows…you should google it, since I’m just some fluffy low carb keto food blogger flappin’ my wings on the internet.) And I guarantee, those pants of yours will be getting loose in the waist and seat before long, if you stick with it and DO NOT cheat! So, (-) 3 pounds in about 2 weeks is FABULOUS! Thank you Dr. Eric Westman and thanks for your Page 4 No Sugar No Starch Diet. This old broad has new hope for health and weight loss.

GOALS FOR WEEK 2:
- Begin taking advantage of the satiety offered by a ketogenic diet
- Eat only when hungry and only until hunger is assuaged. Do not eat until full.
- Begin dialing back and finding my personal sweet spot.
- Keep fats high.
(By the way, the meal plans provided by Fluffy Chix Cook are the grand plans we make for ourselves each day. They represent the MAXIMUM amount of those combinations of food. They may not be 100% ideal for Page 4. We may fall a little shy of 2c leafy veg and 1c non-leafy veg a day. We may eat MORE leafy greens or non-leafy greens while staying within the 20g total carb window. We may go over slightly on cream consumption one day, or eat too much cheese one day, whatever. We may take a liberty or two with a non-Page 4 ingredient such as whole psyllium husks in place of Metamucil, or use a tiny bit of an almost-zero-carb protein powder in the low carb Revolution-ary Rolls in order to increase diet satisfaction and personal, long-term, sustainability–you may not want to do that. But these Page 4 Meal Plans can help inspire you to get the Page 4 food list on Amazon and look at the plan, then create a food roadmap that works for you in accordance with Dr. Westman’s instructions.) Don’t stress, be happy. Happy Page 4-ing!

You may notice a discrepancy when adding the total carbs shown by line-item. Do not be overly concerned. MasterCook 9 rounds numbers, so when the individual recipes are combined in a daily meal, the total is calculated to include decimals points. This may result in a +/- difference of 1-2 g of carbs. The Daily Total value is the more accurate figure. Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience!
