810 questions for those doing it

[mum2one]

I've looked through threads and can't find anything but I have just picked up my new book frm my cdc and even she wasn't sure of the answer.

Why do some recipes include green peppers, spring onions and lemons when they are not on your allowed list????

Can someone clarify? Does that mean there are 'other' things we can have that we are not told about.

God knows! Good question! I stay away from lemons or anything citrusy as a rule. But I would love to know the answer to this too. Especially as teh book says anything green or white is generally okay....well peas are rgeat and they are really high in carbs!

After reading that, I would say if you want to remain in ketosis have low carb vegetables and you should be fine. I usually stay in ketosis doing just that.

I just get fed up with all of the mixed messages. But hey peppers and spring onions i'm not complaining
