Others find that some of the foods on this list are problem foods during Phase 3, causing them gains- usually do either to the starch/sugar content being a little too high, an undiscovered sensitivity to that food, or probably most frequently, overconsumption- things like dairy & nuts are very calorie dense & quite frankly, are just so easy to overeat, myself included! Keep in mind it s often the AMOUNT of these foods you eat that actually make the difference between not tolerating it and tolerating it as well when it comes to weight gain. Please note too however that those who find they need to avoid these foods in P3, often find they can gradually incorporate them in P4 once their body is stabilized. hcgchica.com - Rayzel 3

nope : NON-P3 FOODS These are foods that the majority find it best to avoid in Phase 3. The starch/sugar content is too high or the carb count is metabolized too quickly, and makes stabilizing your new weight difficult and can cause inordinate gains on the scale during P3. You WILL notice that my P3 meal plan on P3tolife.com DOES use some of these higher sugar fruits and veggies and the reason it works is because the amounts used are VERY small, just to add flavor or texture to a meal or dessert.
