I was in Cambridge Graysheet (far far far far far more strict that how) for 7 years but my skin turned orange and my hair started falling out and i lost my period - it was very bad ... but then I found regular OA with absolutely NO food plan extremely unhelpful ... almost everyone there was fat and talking about sugarfree muffins and icecream (which I would overeat, hello) but I don't want to go back to greysheet either. My aunt did HOW out in Calif. (I am in new england) and she said it was far superior to GS but healthier.

This is a copy of the HOW plan she sent me years ago.... is this the same one you follow 0 if you dont mind me asking?

Suggestions for Implementing H.O.W.

See your doctor. Have him completely review this program of eating. Follow all of his suggestions concerning this plan. Take a multivitamin every day.

All food must be weighed and measured. Use a postal or kitchen scale, a measuring cup and measuring spoons.

Meats may be baked, boiled, roasted, pan-broiled, grilled or oven-broiled. Use a non-stick pan for frying eggs. Salad dressing is only alloted in the evening and must have sugar listed 5th or less on the label.

Food should be written down and committed on a daily basis for at least a month. Successful members continue to write their food down even after they have stopped committing it to a sponsor.

Do not skip meals, and do not combine two meals for example breakfast and lunch (brunch).

Do not weigh yourself (except once a month).

If something listed in this food plan becomes a problem, avoid it. Avoid all individual binge foods.

Sit down for meals. Eat slowly. Never have a second helping.

Food we absolutely avoid are: alcohol, sweets of any kind, nuts, fried foods, sugared soft drinks, cream cheeses, specialty cheeses, honey, anything containing sugar or white flour.

When in doubt, leave it out.

At the end of the first thirty days, continue to call your sponsor while adjusting to grains.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Guidelines for H.O.W. abstainers:

Proteins may be mixed. For example: 8 oz. milk + 1 oz. cheese

In the first 30 days, wheat germ may be used at lunch or dinner, but not a breakfast.

Sugar must be listed 5th or lower on salad dressings and should not be in seasonings or soft drinks. Dextrose, fructose, lactose and sucrose are, in fact, sugar.

Soy flour or sugar should be listed fifth or lower in soy products.

If fresh fruit is not available, used canned or frozen fruit that is packed in water or its own juice. When mixing fruits, be mindful that if the mixture contains a 1/2 cup fruit, then the total mixture must equal 1/2 cup.

Use mayonnaise rather than whipped dressings; diet, sugar-free catsup and regular mustard are acceptable; use tomato sauce for cooking or up to 3 tsp. of lemon juice for food preparation.

Some artificial sweeteners contain large amounts of sugar...beware.

If you want milk in your coffee, subtract 1/2 protein from your morning meal. This will give you 1 cup of milk all day for coffee.

Onion soup mix may be used as a seasoning but not as a soup.

When a 1/2 cup vegetable selection is mixed with a 1 cup vegetable selection, it can be counted as a 1 cup vegetable.

Salad should be measured at all times. A salad can be a combination of any listed vegetables.

Two pieces of chicken or 4 oz. (i.e. thigh & leg) is a portion.

No deep fried or breaded foods.

Up to 3 Tbsp. of bran per day may be used if needed.

Check any recipe with a Sponsor before you eat it. All recipes may not be within food plan quidelines.

No alcoholic beverages.

8 glasses of water are suggested daily.

To create a complete protein when using legumes, combine with grain or animal protein. (example--1/2 cup beans with 1 oz. cheese.)

Abstinence is a commitment to recovery: Of course, to the new person this appears as another diet. But we who have walked this path before you know that this program of eating is unique.

First, you may not modify to suit yourself. Any additions or subractions you make must be with a physicains' advice.

Commit yourself to a black and white abstinence so you may deal with the grey areas of living.
