My A'72 book says for Induction Week 1:
"During the first week on this diet, you cut your intake of carbohydrates down to what is biologically zero."
The small amount of carbs come from "Two small green salads a day (each less than one cupful, loosely packed) made only of leafy greens, celery, or cucumbers and radishes."
"Every week thereafter a little more carbohydrate (around five grams) may be returned to the diet." |
