Food allergy
I see that on day 5, I'm supposed to eat beef and tomatoes. I'm ALLERGIC to tomatoes. I was wondering if this was just a suggestion to go with the beef or if there is some magic chemical reaction when the two are combined.
I don't want to omit something that's crucial to the success of this diet.

Re: Food allergy
Geez pubwench, I'm not quite sure how to answer this question. Did you omit the tomatoes in the cabbage soup? I'm taking a chance on this one, but I would say...just use the same type of veggies you used in your cabbage soup stirfried with pam or steamed....with your beef. Maybe someone else will post and shed some light on this question. There are others with allergic problems and they just tweak the diet to be able to continue on...some do not do day 4...banana day because of allergic problems, they just repeat day 3...so you wouldn't be the only one that tweaks it a bit....so that you are able to continue on.............I am not aware of any magical chemical reaction of the two combined nor any such thing with banana day where it is just milk and bananas. If there is something crucial about the combinations on these days, I would hope they would post. Enjoy day 5 and good luck to you!

Re: Food allergy
pubwench, if you are allergic to tomoatoes by all means don't eat them! As broosidelady said there are many of us who have some type of food allergy or in my case I an lactose intollerate so dairy is out of the question unless I want to take pills and I really try to avoid them. I also don't eat beef so I subsituted with chicken and fish. I lost weight all the same
Just skip the tomato and eat the beef if that is what you want you will not lesson your chances of losing weight
You are doing great!

Hi Pubwench
I think maybe look up on the internet and try find a fruit or veg similar to the tomato to replace it with. I think there is a reaction of some kind happening and it has to do with excess water maybe. Maybe replace with celery? Best advice is to try find a very similar replacement that you are not allergic to
