Hi Victoria,
Yes you can eat loads of beans, pulses , salad and veges on the 'green'
days, including baked beans in tomato sauce. You can also eat unlimited
amount of virtually fat free fromage frais and Quark on either day. This
really does work, although I put on weight over Christmas (over
indulgence in all areas!) before Christmas I lost 11 pounds in about 4
to 5 weeks. The good thing with this is you are still allowed a small
amount of 'sins', which include a small choco bar, small bag of crisps
or a couple of glasses of wine. If you want more indepth details let me
know, I'd be happy to pass it on.
Best Wishes
Kim
