Just some helpful thoughts:
-If you can't find a book at a store, check your library.
-The taste of artificial sweetners triggers your sensitive body to release insulin as it would with regular sugar (why we don't drink sodas or eat deli meats outside of RM)- you'll end up craving, eating, and gaining weight
-I try to make one-dish meals for RMs (spinach & sausage lasagna, chicken stirfry with noodles, etc.) to include, meat, carb, and vegs. I like to put coleslaw on my hamburger or bbq sandwich! I also will make a single serving of spinach and cream cheese or cauliflower and cheddar- pick your favorite CM veggie and prepare it 500 different ways!
- I have battled long and hard with the RM salad. It's won. I now eat half a "bag" of salad with some sort of cheese, nut, and dressing. It really makes a difference in how much I eat and how much I've lost!

I know how frustrating it can beto be patient (believe me), but you will be so proud of yourself when you begin to see how you CAN do it right and stay on track! Keep it up!
Good luck!
Edy
