Onions
I've seen people asking questions about the "legality" of onions in phase 1, and I know they are not on the list of Phase 1 foods to enjoy. I never really knew the answer to questions about the use on onions on this plan.
I came across this as I was reading one of my new low-carb cookbooks yesterday 500 low-carb recipes by Dana Carpender.
"Onions are borderline vegetables. They're certainly higher in carbohydrates than, say, lettuce or cucumbers. However, they're loaded with valuable phytochemicals, so they're very healthful, and of course they add an unmatched flavor to all sorts of foods. Therefore I use onions a lot but try to use the smallest quantity that will give the desired flavor."
