1st day! Couple of questions
5
Thu, 03-18-2004 - 9:25am

I did a search for these questions, but couldn't find them answered, so I apologize if they have been asked before:


1.  Is the quantity of V-8 limited?  The book says 6 oz, but I thought this diet wasn't about limiting things.   Just curious.


2. Is it ok to have fat free half and half in coffee in the am?


3. Nuts - it only lists peanuts, pecans and pistachios.  What about almonds or cashews?


4. Edamame - soy beans in the pod - ok to have or not?


Also - I forgot to bring my lunch from home.  Would it be ok to have a salad with a scoop of tuna or chicken salad from the deli?  I know that is made with regular mayo.  Any other suggestions for a deli lunch?


Thanks for your help.

Just realized if you just started and are following the book, there have been some updates since the book was published.

I am so hopeful that this diet will work for me.
