The longer I'm on the diet, the more I find that nothing is on (or off) the protocol by accident. The science of this diet goes beyond just calories, fat and carbs - which is why I believe so many well-intended coaches change the protocol and differ in their opinions - that's all they are looking at and so they miss some of the point. I trust the program.

Scorbett1103, I agree totally. I was simply curious. I saw one of your posts on the "too many veggies" thread and, like you, I follow the sheet to a "T". If you haven't read Dr. Trahn's book, it's an interesting read since he explains the science behind the diet. It also helps clear up answers when I see folks on here quoting their coaches about allowing this or that or the other that isn't "on the sheet"! unlimited cucs and celery, etc. can cause you to go over 40 carbs a day. dangerous ground!!! lol
I appreciate all the feedback - I have no intention of going off the sheet until I'm done!!! LOL I'm only 10 lbs away now so I can taste it (no pun intended!
)!
I don't think of posting things on the daily thread. I'm more of a reader than a contributor, but I'll remember that advice - thanks! Have a great weekend, everyone!
