Ok on the web site is the updated list of foods. You want every meal balanced

between all 3 groups. Most people have protein shakes or protein bars as meals

instead of full meals. if you eat full meals you can have vegies each meal.

hi my name is lizzie, i live in England UK,im just preparing to

start

the body for life programme and the only things i've got to find out

information is the book and the website. I was hoping that maybe some

of you would be able to point me in the right direction - in the book i

have - it gives a list of authorised foods, but when i looked on the

website i saw the shopping list gave other foods you could buy like

bannas and grapes...is the list in the book just meant to be a guide,

can you have all fruits?..also it says that add one vegatable to 2 of

your meals daily, does that mean one and one only or could you have 2

or 3 vegetables with your meal - im sorry if these seem obvious

questions but im just trying to get everything clear i don't want to

mess it up.

thanks and hi to everyone... lizzie

Hi Lizzie,

Typically, having 2 or 3 different vegetables (from the vegetable

list under " authorized foods " should be just fine. Those veggies are

usually very fibrous and have a small caloric impact. Keep in mind -

some veggies are listed under the " carbohydrate " section. Those are

higher in carbs and typically carry less fiber, so make sure you only

have 1 carbohydrate selection per meal.

Eating veggies with meals helps slow the rate of digestion, which

should provide you with sustained nutrients for a longer period of

time, while making you feel 'fuller'. Remember - 2 meals per day is a

minimum of times you should have veggies. It's great to have veggies

with all your meals!

IMO, there are good choices, and there are better choices. If

you want to have bananas, Bill does authorize those in the

Eating-for-LIFE cookbook (very good, btw). Some fruits are higher in

sugar content than others, so I'd select the fruits not on the

authorized list sparingly. Just make sure you pair your fruit

selection with a protein (cottage cheese, eggs, and protein powder go

well w/fruit).
