And not just greans , bread and all kinds of goods . Here is ware I got the info .

BEVERAGE LIST
Water Mineral Water
Beef or Chicken bouillon Club Soda
Decaffeinated tea or coffee
(Due to blood sugar reactions from caffeine, limit regular coffee & tea consumption to 3 cups daily.)
THE FIRST WEEK, eat only foods from lists A, B, C and less than one cup loosely packed salad up to two times daily from list D. Go to your local drug store and buy some ketostix, (they are inexpensive and you do not need a prescription). Approximately the 2nd – 4th day, your body will begin breaking down fat into ketone bodies, which will be used for fuel in place of carbohydrates. This process is called ketosis. When you reach this point, the ketostix will turn purple upon dipping them into a sample of urine. This is where you want to remain. The darker the purple the less hunger and cravings you will have.
After remaining in full ketosis for two weeks, you can slowly add vegetables from list E back into your diet. Start by adding ¼ cup of one vegetable with each meal. Continue testing your urine with ketostix through this process. If the ketostix no longer turns purple then you have added back too many carbohydrates. If this happens, simple back off some of the vegetables on list E. Test urine again in two days. When purple color has returned then you are back in ketosis. This is how you find your “BODY’S BALANCE POINT.” The key is to add back as many vegetables as you can, yet still remain in ketosis. “It’s that simple!”

RULES
• Don’t worry about calories
• Don’t eat when you are not hungry
• Eat enough food that your not hungry, but stop eating when you are satisfied.
• Eat no refined or packaged foods.
• Slow down while eating and take time to chew.
• Take your Primary Healthcare System (Daily Essentials-DeTox-Colon Therapy).
• Maintain a minimum consumption of six – 8oz. Glasses of water daily. (Avoid tap water)
• Don’t forget to exercise at least 20 minutes daily, maintaining a heart rate of 150 to 170 beats per minute. The objective is to work up a sweat. This can consist of walking, running, or jumping in place.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If you find yourself getting weak or fatigued during diet, you may be electrolyte depleted. Add some salt to your diet as well as some parsley, watercress or other high potassium foods. (Don’t use bananas; they will bring you out of ketosis.)
Fruits are very high in carbohydrates. If any are eaten on the diet, you should only have them with one meal per day and only a couple of times per week while on the diet. The reason is that they tend to bring you out of ketosis.
Listed below is a list of some other additions of foods that can be worked in after the first two weeks and balance point has been established.
Use these freely; they will not bring you out of ketosis.

Salt & pepper Mustard
Horseradish Vinegar
Vanilla & other extracts
