Onions?Ph1 - Best Choice- onion soup mix? or recipe
I want to make onion soup, what is the best onion for ph1? are they permitted? I love the liptons pkg. mix, but i want to make my own ....
Any suggestions? Thx- Kirsten |
I hate to tell you this but onions are NOT on the Phase I list. They are used in very limited quantities only.
Soup mixes are loaded with salt and carbs so should be avoided. When you hit Phase II, you could give it a try and see if it causes you to stall. Sorry! I love onion soup myself! |
Onions on P1
There is a new list for Phase 1 that is on the Prevention website and The South Beach one too I think and a 1/2 onion a day is allowed on P1. The list is way bigger that the original one and covers many of the things that are left off of all of the lists that tend ot cause confusion. I have been eating a small amount of sweet onion evry day and I have lost 7 pounds in 3 weeks so I say enjoy!

Thanks for printing that here Summergirl. VERY helpful information!!! Glad to hear we are allowed turnips! I like them pickled, or in place of crackers with dips! Thought we couldn't use them!!!

Onions! See, this is another of those inconsistencies I was talking about yesterday. Today I made the Greek salad (p.137) for lunch w/LF Feta. Yummy! The recipe calls for 1/2 c. chopped red onion. It is clearly a phase 1 recipe. Maybe I'm just too obsessive compulsive about details. I put the onions in the salad and ate it with no guilt. Of course I know onion soup would use a lot more onions than I put in the salad.

I try to fight my OCD disorder when it comes to food. I consider onions in small amounts to be a seasoning. :lol: By the way, Dr Agatston did not write the recipes - I think he had a dietician do that and he/she may have missed some of the finer points of the Phases.

Thanks for the list, Summergirl!
Hmm, a half onion a day. I can't imagine I eat that much, with just slivers in my salad, etc. Though I put a LOT of onions in my veggie chili. Good onion season is about over anyway. I only eat the super sweet Vidalia onions. I'm picky. |
Thanks for posting the revision list, Summergirl!:D
Onions.....I love to season foods with them! Happy to hear I can have 1/2 daily! ~Sharon:flow2: |
Oh wow! What a GREAT DIET! It is so incredibly healthy!!
