I am thinking about taking a can of petite diced tomatoes and seasoning them with oregano and other italian spices and mixing that in with ground beef. I'm going for a very meaty spaghetti sauce like idea. No noodles, but I think just the sauce will be filling if chunky!

get a nice steak can be fast fry or any type and put it in a frying pan add cut up fresh tomatoes and u can add some onion and let it simmer till steak falls apart. You can add some hot sauce, pepper and a bit of salt for tatse. I made this and even hubby loved it

I wasn't sure how I was going to fix my beef so I asked my husband who suggested hamburger steaks. I seasoned it with garlic and herb (Mrs Dash), salt and pepper, and chopped onions; rolled them into balls and made patties. For the tomatoes I just sliced them up and placed them on the side. It was very tasty I thought.

sweetthing, that sounds good, kind of like swiss steak. You have all given me some great ideas. I am new to this diet as well and was trying to think of ways to keep it from getting boring. Any ideas on eating out???

Any ideas on eating out???
The few times I have gone out for lunch while on this diet, days two or three I would have a salad, days one or three a fruit salad, or day five steak and vegetables. I have asked to have the starch replaced with another vegetable with no problems. I guess I try not to go out to eat while on this diet because there are too many things to temp me with!

An idea I got from the Susan Sommers diet is to take zucchinis and grate them thick. Then you can saute them in a pan with a light coating of cooking spray. Don't cook too long or they get limp. They are GREAT noodles! I think Susan Sommers even calls them zucchini noodles! That sauce sounds like it would be great on these "noodles."

That's actually spaghetti squash, and not the zucchini squash that I was talking about. But it DOES sound like a good idea for that meat sauce.
