    I don't digest lactose. Is the lactose free milk a no-go drink for this diet? These meals look delicious can't wait to start.
    Thanks

    Gladys, you should avoid cow and goat milk when doing low-carb. Have you tried soy, almond or coconut milk?

    Loved this salad. I didn't have mini cheese balls on hand but I did have mozzarella cheese sticks. Chopped up a few and it turned out great.
