Unless you’re on one of the weight gain programs that allow dairy, you should avoid eating yogurt.

You have lots of freedom to experiment with eggs, I usually stick to:

- omelettes

- fried eggs

- scrambled eggs

- hard boiled eggs

However, other forms of eggs should be fine.  I go for lots of ground black pepper and occasionally white truffle salt but I try to avoid using cheese when I eat my eggs in the morning.

There are some good egg recipes here:

Personally, I eat a handful of peanuts and cashews a few days a week at work when I get really desperate for a snack or if I have to skip lunch due to a busy schedule.  This hasn’t seemed to cause any issues with getting good results.

 

I am very deliberate about only allowing myself a small portion though.

 

If you’re eating nuts on the 4 hour diet please comment to let us know how it’s worked out for you.

However, you’ll want to make sure to:

- get a dressing without sugar added if possible

- don’t put croutons on your salad

- avoid (or at least limit) the amount of parmesan cheese on your salad

The things I’d recommend avoiding are:

- rice

- cheese

- sour cream

 

Tim mentioned in the book that success is possible on the Chipotle diet even with cheese included, but cheese is likely to slow down your diet results.

Cheese and sour cream are technically not recommended on the diet.  Eating your chili with a little bit won’t hurt you too bad, but it may slow down your weight loss.  Choose accordingly.
