sample menu - for a whole day

on rising - green tea no milk or sugar
breakfast - bacon and scrambled eggs made with butter no milk
baby spinach (wilted) grilled tomato
Morning tea - almonds 15
rice crackers 10 with camembert or brie cheese
Lunch - chicken with skin and salad of lettuce, tomato and feta cheese
Afternoon tea - rice crackers 10 with cheese
green apple
Dinner - Steak with mushroom sauce made with full cream, broccoli,
1 small potato and small piece pumpkin
After dinner - green tea and frozen blueberries and rasberries with a tablespoon of full cream



As you can see there is a fair bit of fat in this diet but no canola oils or margarine etc are allowed
These fats consumed are considered good fats and are essential, also your carbs are kept to a minimum but they are required and good choices with carbs is essential - also protein is high and sugar is non-existent - this is basic run down without going into great detail - there seems to be a lot of other rules for me to learn but they don't want to bombard you with everything straight up. Sauces with msg or canola oils are not allowed. In an earlier post I had said that suaces were allowed but I have found out today that it is best to make your own to avoid all the ingredients that are not suggested and the sauces seem to be full of. I have been sticking to a simialar menu to this, just changing the type of meat but everthing else stays the same. I'm sure once I get into it there will be more choice but for now I am happy to stay with the choices that I know are safe.
