This is interesting. I might give it a try. I need to kick start my weight loss. So on this plan, no condimens? No ketchup or mustard or anything? What about salad dressing?
Hi Rae. Thanks for your comment & questions. No condiments are allowed at all on this plan. Although, this is one area when I did "cheat" a little. I would sometimes allow myself a tiny bit of mustard or ketchup on my burger or sandwhich (probably about a teaspoon). It's the salt that is the big killer there. However, once you reach maintenance you can eat whatever you choose. But I still choose to limit my intake of condiments. Fat-free salad dressing (2 Tablespoons) can be used as your free exchange. And this was another problem for me, as I just can't stand the taste of most fat-free salad dressing! I don't use much anyways, so I either used balsamic vinnegar/oil or regular salad dressing in a very minimal amount.
Hope that helps! Good luck! :o)
