Consolidation peas - are we allowed in conso?

[curvygirlie]

First week of Conso..

I want to throw a handful of frozen ones into my frittata but are they allowed in conso?
The Dukan book mentions dried peas along with chick peas etc in section re: 1 starchy meal per week, so would i have to treat my frittata as my weekly starchy meal just because I've put peas in?

Conso = confusion! :sigh:

I think Robin used to sometimes substitute bread for a handful of peas/beans in soup/stew in conso, not sure though.

You'll need to have peas as part of your gala meal if it's a whole portion. If it's only a few, then surely no worse than a carrot - it's up to you - bear in mind that you'll be having extra carbs with the bread though, so you might want to take that into consideration.

I use split peas/lentils/barley etc in soup and then forego the bread/starch for the day, as Jaqys said. For the first few weeks, I followed conso to the letter until I got used to it though.

Good luck!

I do the same - I like beans more than I like pasta!
