Re: Food Question.

[Guest guest]

I think the answer to your question lies in the intended audience

for the Eating For Life book. It is basically a recipe book that of

course tries to accommodate the BFL lifestyle. However, if the ONLY

market for the book was people on the BFL plan, there wouldn't be a

large market. So....... The EFL book takes a 'few' liberties with

the BFL approved food list. That (IMHO) is why the EFL book seems

to be more liberal.

Lori,

Basically, IMHO, anything and every in moderation. In a strict sense,

if you can avoid the added fat and calories, do it.

Remember, this is a lifelong process, not a fad diet, so make it

enjoyable by peppering in variety and taste. Otherwise, you'll be

struggling to keep moving forward with your progress.

FIRST, I thought there was a longer list of " official " foods, like 64

SECOND, there are recipes in " Eating for life " that include certain

items

and I don't know why or where the items are coming from. I really must be

missing something. The recipes include for example: 4 tsp chocolate

syrup and

found?

Thanks!

EFL is a bit more realistic and liberal in the variety of foods.

For the crust you are dividing that into 8 servings and you aren't

eating it every meal. It really is a low calorie meal. You can use

fat free syrup sweetened with Splenda and just a little fat free

coolwhip doesn't have much in it. Those are kind of like condiments

in my opinion.

http://www.bodyforlife.com/nutrition/foodlist.asp has the list of foods.
