Onions and carrots....

Just a quick question----

I started this diet with the help of this board, and without the book, because i was waiting for it to ship. I have been on Phase 1 for about a week and a half, and after reading the book, I saw that onions and carrots were not permitted. However, in the updated foods list, I know that they are now. Just wondering if anyone knew why they were reintroduced in the updated list. Are they not as bad as originally thought?

Thanks so much!

Michelle

Oh, and what are the different weight numbers that some people put at the end of their posts? :)

Hi & welcome!


Both onions and carrots have lots of natural sugars.

Thanks so much Cathy! Wow, who knew....sugar in onions. This diet is opening my eyes to so much...I never knew how sugar laden ketchup was either!

Thanks again!
