One of the problems that I'm finding is that it is sometimes difficult to find products that are recommended. For example it is very difficult to find non fat soy milk. I can find 1.5%. I did find some fat free, but it comes in small quantities and is vert expensive. Why is fat free cow's milk not allowed? It would seem to me that if the objective is to eliminate fat from the diet then fat free cow's milk would be better for you than 1.5% soy milk.
What about olives? I know that olive oil is prohibited, but what about olives? I find nothing in the book on that.
I also wonder why all oils are banned, but foods that contain those oils, such as corn are allowed. If I eat corn, am I not consuming corn oil?
I also have Dr Dean Ornish's book though I haven't read it yet. I understand that he allows egg whites and some other animal based proteins. Does anyone have any experience with the Ornish program?
