Pingback: So.. what’s allowed? « 1 Hour Body
Quick comment. The starred food in the book are his recommendation based on what worked for *him*. It doesn’t say those will produce the fastest results for anyone else.
Is shellfish allowed?
is ketchup allowed on the diet?
My guess is no, because ketchup usually has a good deal of sugar in it. If you could find it without sugar, then I’m not sure
The ingredients in it would be allowed, so maybe so? Try it and see!
So… under Vegitable Broccoli is listed twice, once with a star and once without, so should it be starred?
Eat as much broccoli as you want!
Is QUINOA allowed?
On his blog (I just closed the window, sorry for not having the link) Tim Ferriss says no to quinoa (it’s a grain, after all).
Is tofu allowed?
Are the following allowed on the four hour body diet?
- bean sprouts<
- soy sauce
- canola or soya oil – small quantities for cooking
Thanks!
You are fine using a little bit of soy sauce as well as canola oil for cooking!
You could definitely do worse than eating bean sprouts, but a significant portion of their calories do come from sugar. You are better off with other vegetables.
Are Navy beans (Northern beans) allowed? I ask because they are fairly common but were not listed. I want to be sure their sugar content is safe.
My biggest obsticle in losing weight are carbs! I love them and they love me!
