Planning...

Started with the digital version on my husband's Nook Tablet, which we both read.

Got the app for my iPod on iTunes ("The Fast Metabolism Diet App").

Bought a hard copy of the book on Amazon in order to see the charts better and photocopy them for planning. http://www.amazon.com/Fast-Metabolism-Diet-Pounds-ebook/dp/B009UAO0B6/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1374787644&sr=1-1&keywords=the+fast+metabolism+diet
(Sure wish she'd post the worksheets on her website so we could just download them for planning our meals and snacks.)

And I went to the author's sites to register both here:

Haylie Pomroy sells specially formulated powder and bars to make the diet easier. Although you will have to be prepared to spend a lot of money. Last time I checked the bars were $42 for 12, and they are phase-specific, so you need a box of bars for each phase. A "normal" person would need a minimum of 16 bars if only using them for snacks on Phase 1; plus 16 bars for Phase 2; plus 24 Phase 3 bars. And remember my hubby and I are not "normal", so we probably won't go that route. Although, I am seriously considering it for Phase 2 because of the issues raised in my first post.
(NOTE: As of this writing 25Jul2013, all the bars are out of stock as is Phase 2 powder, so they may not be available for us.)

We need to clear the fridge and the cupboards of anything tempting and use up our cheese and milk. (And enjoy sweet corn on the cob at least once since sweet corn is in season now.) We had to get past my birthday so I could celebrate with alcohol and sugar.

We need to sit down and plan our snacks and meals at least for the first week.

And I want to review what's on the forums for vegetarians.
