6 FAQs What if I don t like a certain food? You can swap veg for veg What if I have to go out for dinner? Stick to protein/veg/salad (no sauces) Can I have decaffeinated coffee? No. In order to remove caffeine the coffee beans must go through a process, which often involves chemicals. In addition to this, to be classified as decaf, the product only needs to contain 97% less caffeine than traditional coffee Isn t it dangerous to eat more than 3 eggs per week, will I increase my cholesterol? No, it isn t dangerous. Eggs do contain cholesterol, but have little to no impact on a person s blood cholesterol, so are safe to include regularly in your diet. What brand of Stock should I buy? Try to choose a stock with low salt, with an ingredients list containing recognizable foods. Avoid any products with food additives starting with E (eg. E321). Something to note - most chicken stocks are vegetarian-friendly and only flavoured to taste like chicken, but always check ingredients list as some brands do use the real thing. The Massel range of stocks are vegan/vegetarian-friendly.
