Question

Hey all~ so, today is day 1! I have all my packs and ready to rock but have a few questions. My coach isn’t around for the next few days so wanted to reach out to you all and get some help. Firstly, oils. how much are we allowed? The sheet doesn’t have any specifics Secondly. some people said they eat eggs, cottage cheese and fruit BUT on the info sheet I was given, none of those are listed. A little confused- help :-)

Answer 1

Welcome and good luck to you on your journey. Under daily essentials on the sheet it lists the amount of oil. 2 tps. Yes, eggs are allowed. Those are listed under the protein group. There are some people who are in the approved alternative phase 1 which allows for cottage cheese and fruits. Hope that helps!  

Answer 2

Eggs are good, no cottage cheese and no fruit.  

Answer 3

Phase one 2 teaspoons of oil You can eat eggs as a protein, no dairy or fruit .  good luck

@pun62 do you know how many eggs?  

---

@cerotype usually one egg=2 ounces of protein. So 4 eggs =8 ounces

---

@pun62 awesome

---

@cerotype I was told to limit to 2 whole eggs per day. So 2 whole eggs = 4 oz protein. then I add 2 egg whites to = 6 oz protein

Answer 4

Your sheet has all the info on it. You may have missed it. The people who get fruit and other stuff are doing the diabetic plan

Answer 5

No fruit , 2 tsp oil per day and a egg here and there to help get thru the hunger is ok but not cottage cheese

@grandsire8642 You don’t need to eat an egg here and there and you don’t have to have it just to get through your hunger. You can eat it for your protein just like you eat pork or beef or fish, etc.  

Answer 6

Do you have the sheet, Donna? Oil is listed under Daily Essentials on the top right -- 2 tsp per day, the allowed oils are listed at the bottom of the sheet. Eggs are a Whole Protein Source in the middle, under Poultry -- 6 eggs total, 2-4 of which can be whole and the remainder egg whites. No fruit, no dairy, except for the 1oz (2 tablespoons) permitted a day. Good luck!

@manganous yup I have this sheet, and top right I just saw the oil info  

Answer 7

No cottage cheese I think eggs are protein so they are okay. I am trying to restart today as well

Answer 8

I was on this program for some time and went off for a few months. I just restarted with a new clinic last week and noticed the cottage cheese and fruit that is on the list. I was wondering why because I know that was not on my old plan.  

Answer 9

The Alternative plan which some ppl start out on does allow cottage cheese and some fruit. But only a small amount.  

Answer 10

@taipan9 mentioned the alternative plan which is for diabetics and athletes. Find what products u like and which ones u don’t but keep in mind some people’s taste buds change and something they didn’t like at first they may like after a few day’s/ weeks

Answer 11

I was constantly told “ Eat the sheet”. Don’t deviate. I lost 87 in a year so stick with the plan

Answer 12

Alternative plan has bread, fruit, and dairy. This is for diabetics or hypoglycemics like me.  

Answer 13

Just heading to bed- thanks to all of you wonderful people for your encouragement today. Day 1 went well- food wise I was perfect! The only thing I could have done better was drink more water! That’s my goal for tomorrow, and a long walk. I’m feeling good- feeling positive and excited to finally finally finally see some scale movement soon! Thanks again

Answer 14

No fruit or dairy. Eggs you can have. I have one boil egg mid morning and one mid afternoon that way I take 3oz if protein away from my supper meal. I find it’s just to much protein at one sitting so the two eggs are 1. 5 Oz per egg

Answer 15

My sheet shows the oil.
