I've been looking at 1) sugar grams; 2) hydrogenated fats (a no-no), 3) MSG - no-no, 4) white flour. Is there a saturated fat level that we don't want to go over? sugar grams is 3, correct? I was at the grocery for over 2 hours yesterday, reading every label, and I'm not sure I'm looking for the correct things.
I've read the book, read the boards, am really not a stupid person, but sure starting to feel that way! I'm starting to think that this diet really has no guidelines, or not much that I've seen anyway! One recipe that was posted today has cream of mushroom soup in it. On my can, it has partially hydrogenated oil in it, and msg. But the sat. fat is 1 gram. So is this OK or not? Does anyone understand my confusion?
Please help!!!! I am losing weight, but I'm just winging it!

You've got it.
Here are the basics from The Daily Dish...hope this helps!

I do understand your confusion.
Hang in there you are doing a wonderful job.
This opens up a realm of possibilities! I was steering clear of anything other than meat cooked w/spices, and simple veggies. May stay this way thru P1, but recipe ingredients will be easier to choose for P2.
I might survive this "NON-DIET" after all!
