So I'm at the point where i'm supposed to be moving into P2... I have the SBD book (Hardcover from 2003) and on the Food list page is says things differently than the list on this site (which I like better because it gives more details). Where do the updates come from? Such as - are we actually allowed carrots and bananas? (in limited quantity, of course)... but the book I have says no to both! Thanks for the clarification!

Also, since I see no mention of it anywhere... no sugar free type ice creme?

the lists come from the updated books. The food list that is here is from the latest food list in SBD Supercharged.

We strive to stay current on our approved food lists, and update them regularly as new foods are added.
Good luck on starting Phase 2! We have several stickies in the FAQ section that will help you ease into it. Remember to take it slow!
