So I'm glad I have a guide, but the way Larry was talking, this may not be an official Isagenix list and he may not agree with some of it. Waiting for him to clear everything up tomorrow

I couldn't believe some of the contradictory food choices, and how long that thread was.... too many unanswered questions. Can't wait for Larry to post all the corrections.0

The "rule" for our knife and fork meal is a "balanced meal" that is 400-600 calories. I asked Larry about his cleanse menu and he said it was put together from his weight loss plan. It's very restrictive, but it worked well for him, so he shares it.
This is from the Isagenix website: "Buy healthy foods and snacks (fresh, whole foods and produce — organic is preferred) and remove tempting, unhealthy foods from your home."
If you go to http://www.isagenix.com/us/en/recipes.dhtml you'll see recipes there. I don't think the suggestions match Larry's list though. That's why I asked about his food list originally, that and I don't want to eat meat every day. They do list tofu in the systems guide, something Larry does not recommend based on his readings. I also have seen one of his docs that does not recommend canola oil and another doc suggesting that soy milk is a bad alternative and not healthy (due to GMOs).
This is from the system guide: Besides junk food, what other foods should I avoid?
Avoid heavily processed foods, processed meats, hydrogenated oils, alcohol, artificial colors and flavors, additives, white flour products (breads, crackers, pretzels, bagels, etc.), high-glycemic foods, NutraSweet (aspartame), coffee and caffeinated soda.
http://www.fit.org/cleansing/IsagenixSystemsGuide.pdf
Here's Larry's food options: Salads: Romaine Lettuce or Spinach, and add your choice of the following fresh vegetables: Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Spring Green Onions, Radishes, Cabbage, Broccoli (Wish Bone Bountifuls Dressing or olive oil/vinegar dressing). Proteins 5 oz: Chicken Breast; Turkey Breast; Cod Fillet; Salmon Fillet; Turkey Ham; Tuna in water; Ground Turkey Breast; Ground Chicken Breast, Vegetables (2 cups a day or unlimited) Green Beans; Broccoli; Asparagus; Spinach, cooked or raw; cabbage, cooked or raw. http://cleansemenu.com/MyMenu.html
I would consider Turkey Ham to be a highly processed meat, equivalent to lunch meat/deli meat. The Wish Bone dressing suggested I can't find on the Wish Bone website, and Wish Bone doesn't list ingredients on their website so I can't see what it's made of, although the sprays are soybean oil and corn syrup with a list of other chemicals (have one wasting away in my fridge). With no fruit, grains, beans, eggs, I am not sure I could follow that plan. It seems like a great "jump start" plan though, doesn't it?So I'm glad I have a guide, but the way Larry was talking, this may not be an official Isagenix list and he may not agree with some of it.

I just think a balanced approach to eating has the longest positive effects. I also think we're omnivores for a reason
