Are onions O.K.?

I've been cooking them in olive oil until their tender and carmelized, then I serve 2 eggs over easy on top of them for breakfast. I love it, but is it legal? Thought I'd read somewhere onions have a lot of carbs. & natural sugar in them. Can anyone help?

Thanks, Kelly

Hi Kelly:

I believe that onions are all right, especially since you're cooking them in olive oil. When in doubt, check the foods to enjoy/avoid lists and the Glycemic Index. I've been using onions in Phase 1 and 2, and haven't noticed any adverse effects from them.

Good luck!
