VEGETABLE AND FRUIT JUICES.

Most fruit juices might as well be liquid sugar, making them completely off limits. The exceptions are lemon and lime juice, a couple of tablespoons of which are acceptable each day in Induction. In OWL, you can double that amount to serve over fish or make beverages or low-carb desserts. It's amazing how much flavor you can get from 4 tablespoons of these juices, but that amount does contain more than 5 grams of Net Carbs. You can now also introduce small portions of tomato juice or tomato juice c.o.c.ktail.

LOW-CARB PRODUCTS SUITABLE FOR OWL.

Not all low-carb foods are created equal. Manufacturers use a host of different sweeteners and other ingredients, some of which may give you gastric distress, tempt you to overeat, or reawaken cravings you thought you'd put to rest. In addition to the bars and shakes you can enjoy in Induction, you may be able to handle some other low-carb products in OWL. In each case, we've provided the maximum maximum acceptable carb count for a single serving. Always read the Nutrition Facts panel and list of ingredients before purchasing any product. Any sweet or salty food may stimulate you to overindulge. Deluding yourself that you can eat large quant.i.ties of a certain food just because a small portion of it is low in carbs is, well, delusional. Purchase and use these products with care. Low-carb products can be very convenient, but they're no subst.i.tute for vegetables and other unprocessed foods. Try products one at a time, and limit yourself to two servings a day of such foods. Again, if the carb count of a specific product exceeds the amount listed below, pa.s.s it up. acceptable carb count for a single serving.
