Just wondering...are SunChips Ok for Phase 2? The first ingredient is corn flour, then oat flour...they don't have any Trans fat. How about Triscit crackers?

The sun chips are not recommended because they are primarily made with corn which is a phase 3 food.


Yes, you may have Triscuits. They've recently taken out the hydrogenated oils which makes them legal.

To ask another question about Sun Chips. I am not sure why they are illegal if in P3? Isn't corn okay? main ingredient is corn right? and no transfat? So I am a bit lost.
All snacks/grains Must must must be whole Wheat flour or Whole Grain only no exceptions????

In Phase 3 there are no foods that are off limits.

Hi Lizzy,


On South Beach, corn is in the category of being a starchy, high-glycemic vegetable like white potatoes.
