I know during phase one, you can basically only eat vegetables. What does one recommend for breakfast? I find myself not having anything so I need some suggestions.

Organic eggs are allowed. I usually have some sort of omelette or scrambled eggs with vegetables mixed in. Throw in whatever you like. Later, you can test oat bran and buckwheat (I've seen a buckwheat puffs cereal). Fish is also allowed on phase 1.

Only veggies is for the optional cleanse for the first 7-10 days. After that you can eat foods from the allowed list and slowly start introducing new ones, like oat bran, as it says. If you haven't seen it already, check the protocol which members here follow. It differs to the website version and all the posts here are in reference to it.

Young fish such as sardines and herring are preferable because they're less likely to contain mercury, wild Alaska salmon is also acceptable. Freshly caught fish from local lakes and ponds are good providing the lakes and ponds themselves are environmentally safe; for example, water-supply lakes having a quality ecosystem.

So this is my first day and I went by the website in preparing. I am starting on phase 1.

why does everyone use the protocol you listed instead of the website? Why doesnt the website correct the information if its not accurate?

Reply: Because we’ve found that this one works faster and is more precise. We’re not saying that the protocol on the website is wrong or inaccurate; we’re only saying that many of us have switched to the one on the forum and had quicker success.
Reply: Yes, bentonite is fine to use if you’ve already purchased it, go ahead and use it.
Reply: You’re not the only one to do this. Remember that if you go to a website with a forum, the members of the forum have experience and can probably give you better suggestions from their own experience. So just take it easy, you’re fine and nothing is lost other than maybe the dollars from your wallet. It’s still early, and you’ve done no additional harm to your health, and that’s the only thing that matters in the end.

couple of more questions-

Could I substitute the warm water in the morning with warm veggie broth? Or does that kinda go against the whole point of the water?

also, my brother is interested in the diet as well but he is diabetic. He doesnt take insulin. Is there a link or advice for diabetics that you could share?

Thanks again

rsk,
When I started I had a difficult time as my normal breakfast was always a bowl of oatmeal and fruit as well as coffee.

I have learned that eggs can be enjoyed many different ways.

When I got further into the diet I ate yogurt.

One morning a small bit of poached salmon with eggs and asparagus. Lovely :)

Be creative. You will make it work.

When I could eat the coconut bread life was the best. Toaste bread with eggs.

Once you get the hang of things you will forget what you once had.

I tried the buckwheat cereal...really bland. I made it with cocnut milk the other day. Still didn't do much for me. Maybe when I get to the point that I can add some berries.

For now it is eggs, omlets, greek yogurt, look under recipies for more ideas.

You know what is a delicious veggie breakfast?

Raw broccoli cut up into bite size pieces, a whole avocado cut up into bite size pieces, some raw shredded red cabbage. Add squeezed lemon and drizzle olive oil, add salt. I sometimes also add cayenne for a little zing!

You'd be surprised at how tasty, crunchy, creamy, and filling this breakfast is. I am loving breakfasts!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try it!
