I am game to try, I need new ideas to create different salads
I’m excited about the challenge. I spoke to my girlfriend about it yesterday. She love’s her meat and wasn’t entirely sold on the idea.
Corey, if your girlfriend can’t give up her meat, have her (and you) join the C1 Challenge that starts on January 7th! http://17ddblog.com/challenge-2015

How many calories can I loss if I take this plan
Do you mean how much weight? Everyone loses different amounts.
if one meal is salad then how many calories should I eat during the other meal?
The 17 Day Diet doesn’t count calories. So if you’re following the diet, you should eat liberal amounts of lean proteins and cleansing veggies until you’re full.
