 Re: Salsa Question | |
No. Black beans and corn are not on the Induction Acceptable Food List. Anything that is not on that list should not be eaten before you reach the appropriate OWL rung.
When you go shopping, always check the nutritional label and the list of ingredients. Also, if a food has 2 g of carbohydrate and 2 g of dietary fiber, this may only hold for one serving (because you round up or down the numbers). Black beans have net carbs, corn has net carbs, so the salsa has to have net carbs. If you eat more than 1 serving, those net carbs will add up and you cannot consider them zero anymore.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
