    I will be starting P3 next week. So far I've only lost 10lbs but that is good, just wished I had more will power and had lost more :( ANYWAY, I am needing a little help in knowing more about what I need to be working on in P3. It is my understanding that I will be able to eat more types of foods and bigger servings, but I want to make sure that I don't eat something I shouldn't. For example I just read a pdf that mentioned carrots are not good to eat in P3. I would have never guessed that one. So can any of you give me some ideas of other foods I need to stay away from? I know sweets, bananas, rice, bread, potatoes and now carrots. Thanks.

    Also, is it still the basics of no mixing your veggies and no two alike protiens the same day?

    You can mix your veggies in P3, you can use healthy fats.
    All the higher starch veggies are to be avoided -- there are lists all over the place. I've posted one here several times that can find.
    So no FLOUR, no bread, nothing baked.
    No SUGAR and no items with sugar-alternative names in the ingredient list (again, sugar names are listed in posts previously)

    It WOULD be nice to have one comprehensive list, wouldn't it? Here are some things I thought of that people have told me are no-nos on p3: peas, corn, melons, grapes, any kind of grain (oatmeal, rice, wheat, etc.). Sugar or sugar substitutes (Xylitol and Stevia are the ones I've heard are ok).

    Well this is just my experience with P3....I ate grapes, bananas, and most sugar substitutes with no problems. I did not eat carrots unless they were the shredded ones in a bag of lettuce that couldn't be avoided. I did not try peas or corn. I have done very well in P3, just add things in very slowly. Only add one new thing a day and give it about 2 days before adding something else new in. I have eaten a ton of natural peanut butter, the one with the oil on top that needs to be stirred before using, again no problems. Everyone is different and you need to see how your body reacts. Good luck and don't stress P3, it isn't as hard as people make it sound.
