Today, we will begin with breakfast.
According to the Retro WW "Rules" - breakfast must consist of the following:
Juice or Fruit andSo here is what a typical breakfast might look like:
Choice of:Bread, 1 slice
- Cheese, 1 oz. hard or 1/4 cup cottage
- or Fish, 2 oz.
- or Egg, 1
- or, Cereal, 1 oz. with 1/2 cup skim milk

Have you finished laughing?
Some other tasty retro combinations might include:
- Broiled Grapefruit and an Open-Faced Grilled Cheese Sandwich
- Orange Sections and a Not-So-Danish-Pastry
- Honeydew, Smoked Salmon on Lettuce and Slice of Toast
- Or my personal favorite--Strawberries and Shredded Wheat Cereal with Skim Milk.
Just remember, it's only a few hours until lunch...

I love this! And I love your placemat/napkin!
Mimi, I LOVE the decor, it really looks straight out of 1972! Kudos to finding an edible breakfast from the plan. My mom and I really love your blog, I think it brings back a lot of memories for her :-).
Oh my, I remember this! When I was in WW in college (mumble) many years ago, we did have to eat X, Y, and Z at breakfast, certain amounts of protein at lunch and dinner, etc. No, it wasn't Jean-dictated ("You must have egg, now now, NOW!") but I do remember many times thinking, My goodness, what the hell do I eat?
Plus you've got to remember that back then, fiber in bread was foreign. So you really would be starving! I think you should also tell us how you've adapted this for your own diet.
Mimi thank you so much! :D
I'd die, fish for breakfast? Broiled grapefruit? WTH?

Just found your blog and I'm loving it! This is actually one of my favorite breakfasts! Though in 2010 I use the microwave to cook the egg (with non-stick spray in a teacup for 45 seconds, flipping it over halfway through cooking). Can't wait to see more 1972 style meals.
I LOVE THOSE PLATES!
If I send you my address, will you mail them to me?
Ha!
I absolutely hate seafood. Unfortunately all the diet books add seafood constantly.
I'm so tired of beef and chicken...
Roxanne--I wish I could say I got those plates at some cool, kitschy vintage shop, but they are from none other than Target! I just got them recently, too, so I bet if you hurry, you might still be able to find them in store or at target.com!
