So I've read the old book and as much as I can from this forum. I still need to clarify two things.
You are limited to one serving of nuts a day (i.e 30 pistachios) and two 2TBSP servings of fats. (i.e olive oil, salad dressing, avocado). Is this correct? Or does the serving of nuts count towards 1 of your servings of fats?
Now with dairy you can have 2 cups a day but does hard cheese count in that limit? And if so, is 1 ounce considered 1/2 a cup of dairy?
The rest of phase 1 I can have unlimited allowed vegetables, eggs and lean protein as long as I eat reasonable portions that satisfy me? Of course I won't eat a 15 oz steak but I could eat a little more than the standard 3 oz?
Now with beans and legumes, I should only have 1/2 to 1/3 cup a day right?
I appreciate the feedback. I want to make my meal plan and buy my groceries for the week.
