Fats, oils, seeds, nuts refined carbohydrates and avocados are not allowed.

3. Know that the grains you're allowed to eat include rice, corn, oats, millet, wheat, buckwheat and barley.
4. Plan to eat a breakfast of whole-grain cereal with fat-free yogurt and orange juice. Lunch should be potato salad with fat-free dressing, green salad, baked potatoes with fat-free cheese and spinach and fresh fruit.
5. Make whole-meal pasta with vegetables for dinner, along with bread with capers, tomatoes and peaches in wine.
