I am so confused with the milk issue - somebody please break it down to me. Do I use skim, non fat, low fat, 2%........help!

Also, on phase one can I have sugar free chocolate or no sugar added chocolate........help, again!

This is my fourth day and I am fine, but just need to know my options.

Thanks!

Hi, No dairy is allowed in Phase 1. Just enough non-fat milk to lighten your coffee is all that is allowed during Phase 1. During Phase 2 you can re-introduce dairy. Fat-free or 1% milk during Phase 2.

I can't answer your chocolate question, maybe someone else can help there. I only eat sugar free fudgesicles and sugar-free jello during Phase 1. I just tried to stay away from anything that might be like the real thing. But that's just me. I was afraid it would set off cravings. But, I think you have to read the labels very carefully. You have to read the amount of carbs and the amount of sugar and sugar alcohols. I think they need to be under 3 grams. But, I just don't go there. Good Luck and I hope this helps.
