Yoghurt OR Egg??

[Miss Optimistic]

I just have to ask this question:

Even though the yoghurt and the egg options are both in Meal 1 - can I have yoghurt for brekkie and an egg for lunch? I would love this, but I don't want to deviate either.

Just wondering if anybody knows the reasoning behind this, as it's not like it's two lots of dairy in one day - eggs & yoghurt are very different - and they're small amounts.

Don't worry, I'm not planning on doing this anytime soon, but I would really appreciate any feedback/opinions regarding this issue.

Thanks, Miss O xx.

No you can''t because they are both options from meal 1.

As your program states you have to have one meal from each list.

Thanks Shell - I know this is gonna sound painful "but whyyyyyy?".
I sound like a 5 year old, I know.
I know it's the rules - and i will follow them. I just wonder if anybody knows the reasoning behind this rule?

this is a question for your clinic
but my guess is they will say " because Dr C says so"
they will be able ( hopefully) to explain to you the process that has gone into the meal choices for you and the food combinations that are set
cheers

Hi mop, you are just going to have to get over it! egg one day yogurt the next! Don't make a big deal out of it - it is not worth it! some people don't even get an egg option!feel yourself lucky!

Miss o the link above takes you to a thread which addresses your question of why

[Miss Optimistic]

Thanks Jlou - a very helpful link.

When I decided to do Cohen's, I said to myself "whatever Dr C says to do, I'll do it" and that's that. I could see the many positive results and that was good enough for me. As long as I stick to the program 100% i will succeed. And that's how I started.

As the days go by - and I'm getting used to the program more - I find myself getting more into it and wanting to know why this? / why that? My natural curiousity is rearing its head. It takes up too much energy!! I accept that even with an explanation, I may not fully understand it anyway. I'm going back to how I started: No questions asked - Just Do It - safe in the knowledge that someone with medical credentials has worked it all out - Trust It! That's what I will keep telling myself in my moments of weakness (hopefully there won't be too many of those).

Thanks again for feeback, Miss O.

And I don't think he would give you all the answers because it's a bit like the seven secret herbs and spices - if he told everyone why and how everyone else could do it too
