Tofu is on the list. How much can you eat in Phase 1?

Lem! You have lost a lot of weight! Congrats! Did you lose it all on the Fat Smash. What helped you the most?

Yeah, I was a little confused about the whole... things you can't eat vs. things that are in the Phase 1 recipes, too. I made the tasty tomatoes the other day and they were DELICIOUS. I can't stand regular fat free mayo, so I got wasabi and horseradish flavored fat free mayo, instead. I also use olive oil on grilled vegetables, because the book says I'm allowed to. And I used 1-2 teaspoons of it for stir fries and fried rice (this 1-2 tsp goes for 2-4 servings).

I'm being a good girl and not weighing myself until I'm done detox, but if I don't lose much weight, I guess I'll know why. I'm going to be hardcore about this tomorrow and do two extra days, so hopefully I WILL actually lose weight!

I've seen some people post up some different flavors of yogurt to mix with their smoothies...I thought we could only have plain fat-free yogurt...What flavors are allowed?

Okay, just having gotten the book and read it over a few times, I've never thought it was all that confusing... and if I'm not mistaken soy nuts are actually a bean (you know-soybeans), and tofu is made from soy, so they should be allowed. And having done some minor research on the sesame seeds, they seem to be more like a bean, they grow in pods, can be made into a variety of different foods, though I'm not real sure on the nutrient value of them (fiber content and such)

actually it says in phase 1 in Food Preparation that you can have 1 to 2 teaspoons of olive oil plus you can have up to 3 tbs of low fat dressing on your salads. Honestly dont think it can get much clearer then that...

Aloha!

I am considering the Fat Smash diet because I am getting bored with the South Beach. Since oatmeal is allowed on the first phase, does it have to be cooked? I like making oatmeal smoothies, and want to know if they are allowed?

I use half the amount of raw oatmeal in my smoothies. I also use fat free french vanilla yogurt. It hasn't hampered in meeting my weight loss goals.
HTH,

I have question for anyone who may know. I'm a Korean and eat kimchi quite often. It's like pickled cabbage..Would I be allowed to eat it during any phase? Phase 1? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimchi There is information on Kimchi on the website..Could anyone tell me?

question on whey protein, how much is allowed? and can creatine also be used in this diet?

Is anyone here a member of the online fat smash diet site?

I just joined and have to say that I am now a bit confused on the phase I myself now. I joined the site yesterday and have made out my meal plan for the week. The online meal plan only selects foods/recipes that are allowed during your phase - and it says you are allowed flavored oatmeals (such as maple and brown sugar instant - quaker oats), it says you can have yoplait fat free or low fat flavored yogurts, it even says you can have slim fast drinks as a snack during phase I- so what's the deal???

Help?!?

I know this question is old, but I just want to reply and say that the online version was full of problems. It had all kinds of wrong food listed, plus substitutions could be made any which way - I tried to compensate for vegetarian meals (meat was on the online P1) and I ended up with applesauce and corn for lunch. Maybe it's been corrected/updated since then! This was last summer when I checked it out.
