Honey

  • I'm new to this diet, and new to the website, but I have a question.

    I was reading over the phase one items and noticed it says you can have herbal tea. What I was wondering, is if it's ok to sweeten this tea with honey, rather than a sugar substitute, since honey is all natural and has no sugar, fat, etc., and it is a "detox" phase. Which, to me, means no unnatural substitutions either if you're going to be very strict about the diet.

    The book leaves quite a few things out on the allowed to have, and not allowed to have lists. I know they can't list everything, or it would be too heavy to carry, but thought I'd give it a shot asking here.

    Thank you in advance for your time.

  • Hi Holly....

    Sorry for not answering your question before now. I haven't read the recipe section in a while...so I just saw the question.


    No, not in Phase 1. Honey is allowed in phase 2, but no more than 1 tbsp per day.


    Hope that helps.
