Basics of the Diet

For those unfamiliar with this particular diet the items eliminated from the menu are:
meat
dairy
refined grains
oils of any kind
fish (there is some debate about this, we cheat a little)
nuts (if you have a history of heart disease)
avocado (if you have a history of heart disease)

Also the recommendation is to stay away from any fats in packaged products, for instance many soy milks contain fats.
