VEGETABLES – UNLIMITED

I eat any and all vegetables in unlimited quantities. I don’t eat corn or carrots too much but that’s just because I’m leery of corn after all I’ve read about how genetically altered it has become over years of trying to make it “cheap”. Carrots I’m fine with but tend to overdo it and they are higher in sugar.

OTHER ITEMS - UNLIMITED

Unsweetened almond milk

Toasted seaweed

Fresh and dried herbs

Sea salt

USE SPARINGLY

*Use less often, maybe a few times a week – it’s a control thing, meaning if I allow myself to eat more of these items I will most certainly overdo it!!
