Fat Smash Questions
 

I am in Phase I- are we allowed to have green olives?
Also can someone tell me why we can't have raisins during this phase?
Thanks and hope everyone is having a smashing day! :)

Hey, JC,

I only know the answer to one of your questions, and I am far from very knowledgable on this...never did even buy the book, just followed what I read on the 3FC book review of the diet, but this thread isn't always very active, so I will tell you what I know and then take a SWAG....

Raisins have a high sugar content...natural to be sure, but you will notice that Phase I only allows carbohydrates that have a high fiber content, too....oatmeal and brown rice, and no dried fruit.

The olive question would be: how many green olives are we talking about? I have no idea if they are allowed or not, but if you only had four or so, I wouldn't be afraid to do that at all. If you are talking about 1/3 of a small jar, then I would warn that they are very high in sodium and this detox phase really limits sodium.

This first phase is such a healthy way to eat; you will feel great! You will get all the fruits and vegetables we are all supposed to make the foundation of our diet.

Good luck!

Thanks
 

Thanks Mary- Ok, no more raisins for me!! As far as the olives go, yeah, I only had three before. My friend and I are loving fat smash, we are looking to extend our detox a couple of days before we begin on Phase II because our eating had been so off kilter. The fruits and veggies :carrot: are making us feel great!
Thanks for the reply and lots of success to you too!:)

No raisins because maybe they're pure sugar? ****, I know of dentist offices that recomend that a child has NO raisins because it's worse on the teeth then regular candy.
