No, lettuce is in addition to the 4 cups. Many coaches have told their IPers that celery and cucumbers are unlimited, but as has been pointed out a few times, they do contain calories and carbs. (I don't know the numbers off the top of my head...LizRR, are you there?) The most recent Phase 1 protocal sheet that I have (March of this year) still has only lettuce as unlimited. Not trying to correct your coach, but some coaches are better than others.

I am about to make lunch - question, the package that says "soy paddy" - is that an omelet? Is it restricted?
