Newbie with a question

I tried searching "hummus," boy that stuff is popular here!  Lots and lots of messages, I couldn't find the answer to my question though...


Which "hummus" is legal in phase 1?  Is there a certain type?  Do I have to make it myself from garbonzo beans?  And does it count as a legume?


Also, do the flavored soy drinks count as a milk serving (I think they are called soy slim or something like that)?  What type/flavor is allowed in phase 1?


I guess I should say hi, too!  My name is Mary, I only need to lose 10-15 pounds, but am starting SB for health related reasons.  After a lot of research I am 100% certain my IBS, anxiety and headaches are due to HFCS and chocolate intolerance (wahhhhh...I am a sweets lover!).  I have been a pretty successful Weight Watchers lifetime member, but do tend to spend a lot of points on sweets and processed carbs (you know the stuff that claims to be "healthy" but is really a little bag of chemicals?).


I really think this is what I need to do, and I know that after phase 1 detox I will feel like a new person just from eliminating these foods from my diet. 


I will start posting my daily journal here, and would love any feedback that you pros can offer.


Thank you in advance, although I have spent the majority of my adult life watching what I eat, this is a very different approach for me!
