Foods..Allowed or not allowed C1

Hello there, I was just wondering if anyone knew if Avocado and/or Buffalo meat are allowed on Cycle 1. Buffalo meat is a highly lean meat, it is actually leaner and healthier than chicken or turkey.

I believe Avacado is not allowed in the first 2 cycles. In Cycle 3 you can use it at a friendly fat

Can any of you tell me if parmesan cheese is allowed on the first cycle please, because there is no sugar or carbs in it?

Hi all,
Can I have prawns or smoked salmon on cycle 1 of the 17 day diet?

I know you can have the salmon but prawns are shrimp, right? Here is the fish list for c1.

Fish*

Salmon, canned or fresh
Sole
Flounder
Catfish
Tilapia
Canned light tuna (in water)

*Opt for wild-caught rather than farm-raised fish, which may
have received doses of antibiotics.

And here is your parmesan reference from the book:

Condiments and seasonings are allowed in moderation:
salsa, low-carb marinara sauce, lite soy sauce, low-carb
ketchup, fat-free sour cream, low-fat, low-sodium broth, Truvia (a
non-caloric sweetener made from natural ingredients), sugar-
free jams and jellies, vegetable cooking spray, fat-free cheeses
(i.e. Parmesan), fat-free salad dressing, salt, pepper, vinegar,
mustard, herbs and spices.

I notice a lot of Cycle 1 recipes using shredded parmesan cheese so I assumed it was okay, I have yet to find fat free but somebody on another site said everyone uses regular.
