I see in your reply that you're lactose intolerant. Is it possible to take one of those pills with your pre-bedtime meal to deal with that? I really don't know of any non-dairy alternatives to casein.

Edit: I would also like to add just be patient and stick with it. It takes time to adjust to a new diet, and it's likely you won't get it all right at first. Just keep at it and make good choices and over time you'll make the mental adjustments you need in order to reach your goals.

It will also help to get a healthy cookbook. John Berardi has one with his Precision Nutrition system, I believe (or as a separate product, you'll have to look into that). Also, there's a book called Eating for Life by Bill Phillips that I got a bunch of good recipes from (especially large batches of soups). Getting something like this is important because it will give you new ideas on what you can make and keep your diet diversified. If you just keep eating the same salad day-in and day-out, you'll get sick of it and stop eating right.
