- the first 14 days are known as phase 1 and is the most strict about what you cannot eat including fatty beef, prime rib, starches, beets, carrots, corn, peas, bread, fruit and fruit juice, milk, alcohol, and all sweets.
- phase 2 lets you have back a few of those foods, some low-gi fruits, whole grain pasta and bread become allowable along with low fat dairy foods, but you stay away from sweets, white breads, potatoes etc as well as other forbidden foods
