oh joodle, your food-in-a-bush story made me giggle! and i love the new avatar and signature. loving hearing about the conso adventures, and don't worry if you wing it a little, you've pretty much got the hang of it. i skimmed the chapter a few days ago and was almost disappointed that it's not THAT much to remember (maybe I was looking forward to a bigger difference?).
As Becca said above, it's alternating PP/PV days, plus:
- 1 fruit serving a day (1 medium-size apple, half a large mango, a cup of strawberries...) but no bananas, grapes, cherries, dried fruits, or nuts
- 2 slices wholewheat bread per day (lightly spread with some reduced-fat butter or spread)
- 40g cheese per day (hard-rind cheeses such as cheddar, Gouda, Emmental, parmesan, etc. but not fermented cheese: blue cheese, Brie, Camembert, goat cheese)
- 1 serving of starch per week (2 in second half), preferably whole grain: 8 ounces / 225g cooked, 2 ounces uncooked (preferably pasta, couscous, bulgur wheat, polenta, quinoa, millet, lentils, legumes: lima beans, kidney beans, white beans, butter beans, chick peas, split peas, etc.). rice and potatoes are allowed but only 175g per serving (225g if brown rice). potatoes eaten with skin and baked or boiled. avoid all the oily, creamy sauces!
- 1 Celebration Meal per Week (2 in second half): limit this to ONE MEAL within a fixed time; never have second helpings of the same dish, in the 2nd half of conso never have 2 celebration meals in a row; eat what you like but in a reasonable quantity, only 1 starter, 1 main dish, 1 dessert, and 1 glass of wine per meal.
- my book says 2tbs oat bran per day, not 3? might be something that's been updated.
- 1 day pure protein each week (not necessarily Thursday, but should be the same day of the week) - Attack phase, not Cruise PP i.e. no tolerated items.
and for the meat-eaters, we can also have leg of lamb and cooked ham, but no prosciutto.
so there we have it - and i'm summarising for my own benefit too, of course, as i'll be joining you very soon!
