Somersize - Carbos Mixed with Pro/Fats
|
| | 1. |
Q: CAN I ADD BUTTER TO BROWN RICE AND TO BROCCOLI? |
| A: You can't add butter to brown rice on Level One, as brown rice is a Carbo and may not be eaten with Pro/Fats (butter). You may add butter to broccoli and eat it alone or with a Pro/Fats meal. If you want to eat butter and brown rice and broccoli, you may do so only on Level Two. |
|
| | 2. |
Q: CAN I EAT TUNA FISH WITH WHOLE-WHEAT-FLOUR BREAD ON LEVEL ONE? |
| A: No. Tuna is a protein and whole-wheat bread is a Carbo. We do not mix Pro/Fats and Carbos. This combo is acceptable in Level Two, though.
|
|
| | 3. |
Q: I AM ON LEVEL ONE AND WAS WONDERING IF REDUCED-FAT PRODUCTS SUCH AS MAYO AND CHEESE CAN BE EATEN IF THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL SUGARS OR CARBOHYDRATES? |
| A: If there are no sugars or carbohydrates added, you may eat reduced-fat products if that is your preference. Beware of reduced-fat products that replace the fat with sugars or starches because then the item becomes Funky with a combination of Pro/Fats and Carbos. |
|
| | 4. |
Q: I HEARD THAT IF YOU EAT BROWN RICE WITH BLACK BEANS IT IS CONSIDERED A PROTEIN, AND THEREFORE YOU CAN ADD OTHER MEATS OR CHEESES TO CREATE A HEARTY MEAL. IS THIS TRUE, AND IS IT OKAY FOR LEVEL ONE MEALS? |
| A: Brown rice and black beans both contain protein, but they are not Somersize Pro/Fats. Brown rice, black beans, and vegetables would be okay on Level One. Adding meat or cheese to this meal would also add fat and protein, which is not okay on Level One. |
|
| | 5. |
Q: IS PEANUT BUTTER ACCEPTABLE TO PUT ON TOAST, BECAUSE IT'S A LEGUME, WHICH YOU SAID YOU COULD MIX WITH CARBS? IS APPLE BUTTER (WITHOUT ADDED SUGAR) OKAY THOUGH IT'S A FRUIT? |
| A: You cannot have peanut butter. Peanuts are a Funky Food on Level One because they have fats and carbohydrates. You must keep Pro/Fats separate from Carbos. You also may not have apple butter on toast. Remember, anything you put on toast must be fat free, and you cannot mix with fruit. Try nonfat cottage cheese or nonfat ricotta. You can add sliced tomatoes, or if you want something sweeter, you could add a little SomerSweet and some cinnamon. |
