Why no milk??
Can someone help me with this one, i’ve just started phase 1 and
realized that i’m not allowed any milk!!
I have about 14oz of skim milk every morning with my protein shake, i
cannot bear having my protein shake with water and don’t think i can
handle eating eggs for breakfeast for the next two weeks.
I was considering eating a protein bar here and there for breakfeast
but there’s about 40g of carbs and probably sugar(sucrose).
Please advise why no milk and what alternatives there are for
breakfeast.
Thank you

Milk has a bunch of lactose in it (sugar). I always thought it was odd that you could have cheese but not milk, but I am told that the cheese making process alters the lactose and makes it ok.
I prefer Nitro-tech bars. They are whey protein (can’t handle soy without vomiting) and only have 2-3 net carbs per bar (and they are HUGE bars at 3.1oz each, so I only eat 1/3 - 1/2 of one at a time). They are also very soft and fresh…not hard to chew like all of the others. The only problem I have with them is that they are hard to find…of all of the GNC’s I go to, it’s only at 1 of them (they are also quite expensive, so I try to buy them by the case when they are on sale and using my Gold Club Card for an added discount) and I’ve never seen them in any grocery store I’ve been in (and my work takes me to many stores).
Eggs every day aren’t necessary. The food guide in the book is only a suggestion. He basically wants you to eat protein and veggies for breakfast, so any approved food would work fine. I often eat yogurt or mock cinnabons (cottage cheese with Splenda and cinnamon)…sometimes egg salad or deviled eggs, lunchmeat wrapped around cheese sticks is also good. Mock Danish are also pretty good (microwave a scrambled egg mixed with a little vanilla, cinnamon, Splenda, and cream cheese in a well oiled bowl…if you don’t use enough oil, you will have a REALLY hard time getting the egg cleaned off of the bowl). I’ve also eaten chicken salad and turkey salad for breakfast (mixed with a little mayo, some shredded or diced cheese, celery, onions, diced tomatoes, rubbed sage in the turkey salad, and occasionally a chopped up hard boiled egg, salt and pepper to taste or seasoned salt).
There are a lot of things you can do to eggs if you can stomach them (they often make me nauseous for some reason so I don’t eat them very often and never straight…they have to have mayo or cheese in them…the more ingredients the better).

There have been new revisions to the diet. You are now allowed low-fat milk (fat-free or 1%), soy milk and yogurt (low-fat or fat-free plain or vanill lite only) in Phase 1.
Hope that helps.

Hi kathy,
have you got any other revisions for us? this last one was really …
“delicious”! I love milk and yoghurt and even if my first fourteen
days are almost at the end, I appreciate their introduction.
some good news: my husband has lost about 7 lbs and it’s quite good.
he has about 12-14 lbs more to lose. I lost 4 lbs and it’s really good
for me; the best thing is that we don’t feel starving, quite the
opposite…
so the experiment is going on…

Ros,
Congratulations on your success!
Here are a few other updates. You can now have onions and tomatoes on Phase 1. On Phase 2 you can now have carrots. Those are the ones I can remember. Hope that helps.

Be very careful with soy. Soy acts as a hormone in a woman’s body and can
disrupt the function of the thyroid. If you already have a thyroid
disorder, as I do, and have to see an endocrinologist, do not use any soy
with any kind of regularity.

I have read that if you don’t have a thyroid problem, that soy will give you one. It has to do with the way we prepare it in this country, as well as the amounts in which it’s ingested.
Many, many women, these days are going undiagnosed with thyroid disorders. Apparently, the incidence of thyroid disorder or disease increases with age.

I’m right there with you. Never been diagnosed with a thyroid condition, but I do have an estrogen dominance problem…my body rejects everything soy.

I used to have them, but am on my way out the door, If you Google thyroid
and soy, I believe you will find information. Dr. Larrian Gillespie also
discusses this, she is online, as well.
